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.

Agree....very close.

[bvw]

Yes! You have to, or risk far worse.

[HollyB]

It’s on the front page of drudge now. (no siren though)

[silverleaf]

omg ditto

[tje]

It is sad..

[cinciella]

I wonder if those Russian officials when checking out Obama’s passport, found anything “useful”.

[Army Air Corps]

What you say about Wikileaks is true. However, this is bad form even if it were just an idea that the Administration presented to the Russkies.

[GlockThe Vote]

This should be breaking news everywgere.

“However, I’m going the high road and not accuse you of not being a conservative simply because we disagree.”

Your first post you accused me of serving another God.

Time will prove I am correct, I know sometimes it is hard to change many years of conditioning.

But there is no other way to expose this total moroon in the WH and the democrats.

A lot of times something is kept secret so we the people will not know the facts.

When you fumigate to kill all of the cockroches and rats, you must first smell the the poisen you have released.

[HollyB]

Agreed, for a man who can’t understand what ‘secret’ means, he sure hangs on to his personal records pretty tight.

[SgtHooper]

Not THAT is interesting! That is the ultimate blackmail information. You can’t control a government any better than that. WOW!

[stockpirate]

I read and wrote papers on all 12,000 pages of the FBI’s report on John Kerry and the VVAW, see my home page.

While we disagree on this I love our country and our men who serve.

[TigersEye]

That little s**t Assange still might wind up starting World War III by throwing the Middle East into turmoil,...

Absurd.

[Freee-dame]

Wow, this Kenyan family’s hatred of Britain runs deep.

Bingo! His actions show hatred for all of western civilization, but Britain most of all. Twenty-five years of teaching school children that America ia an oppressor nation have allowed a man who hates our way of life to become President...very sad.

We know that WikiLeaks boy has no love for the US, Britian or probably even Russia...but Obama could stop this from going forward any time.

Will he?

Probably not...he has no love for the US or Britian...or probably even Russia.

He only loves himself.

[StormEye]

"and where is Boehner, McCain, et al? NOWHERE!"

They are busy brown-nosing Obama and "reaching out to Democrats". Just the usual day for them.

[Cheerio]

It’s time for the impeachment of Barack Obama

[GlockThe Vote]

Obama is a traitor and a one man nation wrecking crew.

[little jeremiah]

This is really a screaming nosedive into the worst insanity imaginable.

WHEN THE HELL are the REpubs going to DO SOMETHING!??!?!??
