START 'cheating'
Republicans in the Senate are gearing up to battle the Obama administration over the high-priority plan to finish a new arms-control treaty with Russia before the end of the year.

Barry’s fault.
They see him as a flat out joke, appeaser, and a weak man.
They know the US is weak and has no real leader
When your defenses are down as ours are with a weak commander in chief the enemy sees opportunity to advance. Obama is a nightmare.
Why not simply subcontract out or national security to the Russians? That way we can do away with out Military which makes us a threat to the world.
IIRC, The Israelis elaborately concealed their nuke manufacturing facilities from U.S. weapons inspectors during the JFK and LBJ administrations (from 1962-69) by constructing a fake but working control room and a couple of false walls concealing the entrance to the nuke manufacturing sector at the Dimona nuke facility in the Negev Desert.
Now Russia has put forward their latest firecracker:
RSM-56 Bulava (Russian = mace) aka SS-N-30
And the best way for the Russians to keep us guessing if the Bulva works or not is to have one successful test somewhere in the series (the REAL test), and to make the other Bulvas fail on purpose (fake tests), and publicize the hell out of the fake tests.
Is anyone really surprised??? Well...maybe BHO.
Oh wait, that's just American nuclear weapons.
We are so...what's more eff'ed than eff'ed? Super-eff'ed? Hyper-eff'ed?
But the world loves us now!
Actually, it is a matter of the NeoCons versus the Realists.
In the article, NeoCon DeSutter is used as the authority.
Bush followed the NeoCons into the GOP bloodbaths of 2006 and 2008.
Obama campaigned on the Realist Doctrine and McCain campaigned on the NeoCon Doctrine. Obama won.
NeoCon Chaney, NeoCon Rove, NeoCon Gertz, or any other NeoCon can complain all they want but Obama and the dems are not going follow the NeoCons into defeat.
Obama a realist? LOL!!! Disarming American, allowing Russians into our nuke sites, all the while the Russians ramp up!
Perhaps, your correct on the neocon bits, but be assured, Barry and company are finding every loopholed attempt to make Afghanistan a “defeat,” despite Barry’s use of Realist language or doctrine. I mean lets be real here, Barry is far, far from being a true Realist; the man is a flat out liberalist whether in transnationalist or internationalist form.
Hint: He was a general and worked for George Bush.
Does that make Barry a “realist” or merely someone who uses it when it best suits his agendas and goals...you know much like when he ran as a moderate during the presidential elections only to reveal his true colors once in office?
A rule of thumb: The QC (quality control) of Russian missiles closely matches that of their Western counterparts.
That is very easy to answer. Ask the realists.
On any given issue or position, examine a cross-section of well known and outspoken realists to see if there is support or criticism for Obama's position
On the issue of START, Obama and McCain had very different positions and the realists supported Obama or criticized McCain.
On the issue of negotiating with Iran "at the highest level and with out precondition, the realists supported Obama.
Show me one issue the realists have not supported and/or defended Obama.
Even tho you didn't answer my question in #17, I'll give you another one. Who are Obama's four "wise old men"? Scowcroft, Kissinger, Baker, and Zbig.
