Obama’s New Foreign Policy Focus: Nuclear Disarmament… Again

It’s often useful to read Robert Creamer’s posts over at HuffPo. Creamer composed the political strategy “blueprint” for ObamaCare from federal prison, and was hired by the Obama campaign after his release, training volunteers at Camp Obama and running the DNC’s rapid response team in 2008. He remains connected to President Obama, and blasts out [...]

Obama Wants His New START Treaty Right Now!

As Peter Schweizer noted here yesterday, President Obama served notice on the newly elected Senators and the constituents who voted for them on Tuesday:  He does not want them to have a say in one of the most important national security issues of the day – the strategic arms reduction accord Team Obama negotiated with [...]

No Nukes: Nonsense

A number of recent studies have purported to prove that nuclear weapons no longer serve an important strategic purpose for the United States. This view animates much of the push for “Global Zero,” the campaign to eliminate nuclear weapons from the earth. While nuclear disarmament has a long history, the current push could be said [...]

Iranian Mullahs: Can We Talk? (Part 2)

That then is our dilemma. Though we rhetorically see Iran as a state sponsor of terror, and even officially say so in our annual State Department reports on the same subject, our actions to date, and from every administration since 1979, have revealed a general unwillingness to face an ugly reality. [...]

More Trouble for New START

Just when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Team Obama’s other boosters for the New START Treaty thought the time ripe to press the U.S. Senate to consent to the ratification of that accord, legislators were given two powerful new reasons to just say “no.” First, the Kremlin conspicuously demonstrated last week how fraudulent are Obama [...]

Iranian Mullahs: Can We Talk? (Part 1)

The Iranian Mullahs want to talk. So does the United States. Tehran wants to negotiate because the economic sanctions are hurting. The US wants to negotiate because it wants to be sure Iran is not building nuclear weapons. But can such talks work? The historical record is not promising.

Parsing the ‘Partisan’ Politics of New START

In recent weeks, WikiLeaks published tens of thousands of classified documents, giving Taliban fighters a virtual death list of Afghan “collaborators.” At the same time, critics of the New START pact with Russia argued that the Senate should give the arms control treaty more deliberate, careful scrutiny before voting on it. Guess who the Left criticized more. Leaving [...]

Hiroshima

Today is the 65th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945. That bomb, and a second dropped on Nagasaki three days later, ended World War II. Inevitably, liberals will use the occasion to reflect on how cruel, unjust and unneeded the two bombings were and thus the US was and is all those bad [...]

START: A Treaty in Trouble

Chairman John Kerry wrote his colleagues on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today advising them that he was postponing for at least six weeks the panel’s “mark-up” of the resolution of ratification of the so-called New START Treaty.  This is a symptom of a treaty in trouble.  START is not dead just yet, of course, [...]
