The US secretly agreed to give the Russians sensitive information on Britain’s nuclear deterrent to persuade them to sign a key treaty, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

Information about every Trident missile the US supplies to Britain will be given to Russia as part of an arms control deal signed by President Barack Obama next week.

Defence analysts claim the agreement risks undermining Britain’s policy of refusing to confirm the exact size of its nuclear arsenal.

My god, perhaps this is payback for Britain letting the Pan Am 193 bomber go.

Also the brits have been helping in Afganistan and Iraq..

Whining about Wikileaks “espionage” in this case,,, is like complaining about the privacy rights of a wife-beater who got videotaped in the act by a neighbor.

Assange is not a person to admire personally in any way. That said, the world is better because the systematic treason of the US State dept and this democrat party is finally being exposed.

After this, I would actually support the UK in a declaration of war against the US.

Yes, but whom do you root for, when two socialist countries go to war?

“Start impeachment hearing NOW.”

He’d have to be officially confirmed as our president before we can impeach him. He has thrown sand in the eyes of EVERY ONE of our allies.

This is a clear case of jeopardizing our national security and should be removed from our house as soon as possible. The GOP had better make a huge stink about this starting right now.

Start boiling the tar. I’ll supply the feathers.

“....and where is Boehner, McCain, et al”

McCain won’t say $hit about this. He’s too busy kissing zer0’s ass.

[FARS]

All they need to do is to release the Kenyan birth certificate from their Foreign Office archives!

With his behavior, they ay be coming closer to doing something like this.

What sweet pay back for his betrayal and they would have the real American populace, as opposed to the liberal rabble supporting Obama, as dedicated friends for removing this blight from our lives and the well being of the world.

Treason: "aid and comfort".

This thread should have 500 replies by now.

I am going to write a letter to all my reps with a copy of this article and cc every rino traitor who supported this treason.

[null and void]

Kenyan or Canadian, either way, from your lips to God’s ears.

The house may have the guts to send the Senate articles of impeachment, but the Senate doesn't have the guts to impeach. Once impeached, if that ever comes then try for treason.

[The_Reader_David]

You are assuming it’s bad judgment. I attribute it to active intent based on the anti-British animus Obama inherited from his Kenyan anti-colonialist father.

Don’t forget his over hostility toward “British Petroleum”, when BP — which is the result of a merger between British Petroleum and Amoco and is 39% American-owned, whose corporate name is simply “BP” — had its oil-spill troubles.

[LostInBayport]

Remember PM Brown's first visit to the Obama WH, and the callous manner in which he was treated...?

Was that before or after Obama told his staff to box up the bust of Winston Churchill in the Oval Office and send it back to Britain?

This revelation is absolutely horrifying. It sullies the honor of our nation, an honor earned by countless patriots over 250 years. This leftist slime of a president is intent on destroying all of that in four years time.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

I know he had it removed....but did he really have it shipped back? I never saw an article spelling that part out.

[The_Reader_David]

Nope. Read the whole story in The Telegraph. They refused, and Obama fell back to giving the Russians the serial numbers of every Trident we build for the Brits. Of course, as one of the comments posted to The Telegraph noted, just because State agrees that DoD will do something, doesn't mean DoD will do it.

[La Lydia]

Whatever he does, it always raises the discussion of whether it is out of ignorance and bad judgment, or deliberate destruction of our country, its wealth and its traditions.

"...and where is Boehner, McCain, et al?"

Thats what I want to know!!! Where in the world are the voices of reason and righteousness??!!

Dear God, have we NO LEADERS in this country anymore???

This is uneal to me.

[aces]

OK, doesn’t surprise me..

[GlockThe Vote]

I really can’t say what I want.

[Candor7]

One can only hope and pray.
