National Security: The administration is ready to sign a treaty stripping us of our ability to defend ourselves against enemy nuclear missiles, including Iran's and North Korea's. In space, no one can hear you surrender.
On Monday, the ground-based Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, part of the U.S. missile defense shield, successfully shot down a ballistic missile launched from a ship's deck off Kauai, Hawaii. The test simulated an Iranian SCUD launched from the deck of a ship off the U.S. coast, which, if armed with a nuke, could devastate the American heartland.
The simulated Scud was launched from the deck of the decommissioned 603-foot amphibious assault ship Tripoli. U.S. Army soldiers of the 6th Air Defense Artillery Brigade from Fort Bliss, Texas, successfully intercepted it with a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptor.
Missile defense, the dream of President Reagan, is a successful reality. With a layered system of ground-based, long-range interceptors, the sea-based Aegis system and theater systems such as the Patriot and THAAD, we can defend against rather than just avenge a ballistic missile attack.
Yet our disarmer in chief, President Obama, stands ready to strip us naked before our enemies by signing a treaty designed to demilitarize space. Since interceptors such as THAAD are designed to hit their targets on the edge of space and can be modified to kill satellites, such a treaty would effectively ban their use.

The Senate must be pressured to vote down such a treaty. That should be doable after the next election.
This guy and his band of insane miscreants have got to go. Now. He is going to get us all killed. Impeach.
America is in the hands of madmen.
The list, ping

“Dropping the Shield”
When a Greek warrior returned from battle without his shield, it was assumed he panicked from fear, dropped his shield and ran for safety. A coward unworthy of citizenship.
So much the same for Hussein.
Come home carrying your shield,
Or on it.
Surely you're not one of the morons who don't realize that's his plan, are you?
It really helps being on your ping list!
Yeah, let’s trust others to keep their word. Ri ...ight.

[That could put Pakistan at a serious disadvantage. A patriotic president could exploit this predicament for Pakistan. Obama usually finds ways to make it backfire, such as stepping backwards in missile defense while smart nations step forward.]
