Not to worry — there will be change and hope. Yes, we can.

Build SDI and let Russia dominate as many nations as they want around them, excepting in Europe.

Krauthammer may be the smartest Pundit in the journalism arena.

I just love Charles Krauthammer.

All I can say is, Obama better not think about negotiating away missile defense. It’s not his to eliminate, it is ours. He is commander in chief, which means he is in charge of our armed forces in event of war, but he is not authorized to destroy the infrastructure bought for from the taxes paid by American citizens and appropriated by Congress.

There is not a shred of evidence that cuts by the great powers -- the INF treaty, START I, the Treaty of Moscow (2002) -- induced the curtailment of anyone's programs. Moammar Gaddafi gave up his nukes the week we pulled Saddam Hussein out of his spider hole. No treaty involved. The very notion that Kim Jong Il or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will suddenly abjure nukes because of yet another U.S.-Russian treaty is comical.

Not a shred of evidence and never will be - it's liberal magical thinking... at it's worst.

Ah, but when it really mattered....DURING THE ELECTION, and immediately after...Kraut and friends were passing the smelling salts around, as to not faint at the sight of historic election of a black guy, “The One”.

Why is anyone surprised?

Obama is doing for Eastern Europe what Kennedy did for Cuba in 1961, capitulate in the face of aggression.

In 1961 nobody cared because Cuba was just a little island full of rum drinkin' booty-shakin monkeys...right?

Who the f**k cares about...Poland, Czech Republic? Georgia? Estonia? These places might as well be on the moon.

That's the world view of the leftist liberal Democrats.

The very notion that Kim Jong Il or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will suddenly abjure nukes because of yet another U.S.-Russian treaty is comical.

Again...Krauthammer hit the nail on the head.

I have found myself mentally quoting Hunt for Red October everyday since Bambi was elected.

“This business is going to get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it!”

?That a man of Obama's intelligence can believe such nonsense is beyond comprehension.

The Obama 'intelligence' so ballyhooed by the MSM is another false notion half or more of the nation needs to disabuse itself of. Obama shows few signs of real intelligence, and Krauthammer needs to drop this nod to PCness as that becomes more and more apparent.

Obama is a leftist ideologue with a talent for reading words from a teleprompter. We've all seen the results when he is without his teleprompter. That ain't a sign of intelligence.

[freekitty]

Thinking the very same thing. The guy is an idiot and he is gonna get us all killed.

Obama doesn't even seem to understand the ramifications of this concession. Poland and the Czech Republic thought they were regaining their independence when they joined NATO under the protection of the United States.

Ironic, isn't it, that these are the same two countries that Neville Chamberlain promised to protect prior to WWII?

The similarities between Obama and Chamberlain go (ominously) far beyond that, of course. They share that remarkable naivete about the motives of their counterparts; and they have that supreme confidence in their own ability to sway the hearts and actions of those with whom they're negotiating. And thus they make agreements that are positively hurtful both to the interests of their own countries, and more generally to the maintenance of peace in the world.

This brings up something rather obvious. Churchill was there to oppose Chamberlain (albeit unsuccessfully).

The Republican candidate in 2012 has got to be "Churchillian" in the sense of offering forceful, compelling, and correct criticism of Obama's actions abroad. Domestic issues are of course important ... but Obama's international foolishness is probably going to be a far bigger problem down the road.

Who do we have in our stable of Republicans who can fill that "Churchillian" role? (Sorry, Palinites .... Sarah is not that person.)

God help us all.

Seems the only one who doesn't know how weak and inept this President is, is this President.

stockpiling weapons that do nothing more than, as Churchill put it, make the rubble bounce.

Always liked the way Churchill could turn a phrase and get his point across so perfectly.

... . Moammar Gaddafi gave up his nukes the week we pulled Saddam Hussein out of his spider hole. ...

Muff said on what works.

Uhbama must be stopped.
