Once again, the Democrats and their leader are oblivious to national security while trying to do something that "feels good".

Reducing nuclear arms and delivery vehicles does nothing to enhance our security and limits our conventional response as stated in the article.

As long as there is one weapon, a rifle, a bow and arrow, a knife, a tank or a nuclear device in the hands of someone willing to use it, the only answer is deterrence in kind. Not unilateral disarmament.

No, we cannot all just get along as long as there are dictators and oppressive regimes like Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Iran and many others out there.

And then you have barry soetoro grandstanding nuclear disarmament with Russia when it is China supplying technology to Iran. Obviously this communist regime in Washington IS selling us all down the river. As others have pointed out - with our national debt, our lost liberties, and an islamic sympathizer in the white house - the terrorists have won. And today America goes shopping. I hope everyone picks up something useful for their cell in the gulag.

BO needs a win - maybe he figures he can score some points with this latest irrelevancy. Meanwhile, it is distracting real people in DC from getting to the nub of what ails America which is our economy, jobs and the repeal of BO's last useless monstrosity - BOcare. BO's dog, BO, could probably do a better job running America than BO the Usurper is doing.

The only nuclear policy needed is this: If you launch a single, solitary nuke at us, we will wipe you off the face of this planet without mercy. You would think someone brought up in Chicago thug politics would understand that simple concept.

Mr. Krauthammer is very correct. President Obama begins this world goal that we are all going to disarm ourselves while the other countries nod their head "whatever you say" and build their own nuclear weapons. President Obama is setting us up for another 9/11.

I agree with you, Brian that someone from Chicago politics should understand a simple concept like the above. Dr. Krauthammer is correct, as usual. You would also think "cutting taxes for the middle class"

BO promised would be the number one Lame Duck Agenda item, but as usual this President disappoints the majority of the American people, and breaks his main promises. He is a JOKE !!

Seems like a combination of several things: snow job, seeking some sort of personal victory amongst Obamas recent failings, and a lot of smoke and mirrors.

And ... the more emphasis he places on this non-issue, the less he feels he needs to expend on any REAL problems ... what a deal :>/

We the Free People Of the United States of America

We will no longer act as victims to unconstitutional legislation by our local, state and federal governments.

We demand our elected understand the state and federal constitutions they represent and protect by oath.

They must take an exam to demonstrate understanding of their state and federal constitutions before they can participate in any legislation.

Represenatives must also demonstrate knowledge of the history of the United States of American and the State represented through a knowledge exam passed before they can participate in any legislation

We will demand accountability from our representative.

Our representatives we elected to protect our way of life not transform it from a Free Republic operated by the rule of Law, and, not a so called democracy rule by majority. That is like 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner.

The rule of law in the United States of America was founded upon principles from our Declaration of Independence from Tyranny and our constitution which were crafted from Judeo Christian principles and this foundation cannot operate under Islamic sharia law.

How about a law requiring every American to read everything Dr. Charles K. writes?

Charles K. For President in 2012!!!

This patriotic American "tells it like it is!"

at www.heritage.org there is excellent material which citizens can read about START...what we know and what we don't know...all reasons to put this on the agenda for 2011 when reasonable people can examine it as they should. Of course, it would be lovely if the Senators had access to such arguements. Susan Collins of Maine seems to think if Bush 1 comes out for it, it must be good. What about her own good self looking into the details. Boy oh boy...

Can we stop calling this a START treaty? It's not a START treaty, just as it's not a PIN number, VIN number, ATM machine, or VAT tax. If someone insists on using treaty, then call it the STAR treaty.

"Hard Thought" is close to being correct in his last sentence when he says, "No, we cannot all just get along as long as there are dictators and oppressive regimes ...". The reality is, always has been, and always will be, No, we cannot all just get along - PERIOD! To even entertain the idea of downsizing our defensive-offensive arsenal is to ignore that reality. It is absurd.

Makes as much sense as "if guns are banned, then all gun related crime will disappear."

Fully agree with Charles K’s observation of the START treaty. This is BO’s effort to disarm the U.S. so he can reallocate the defense funds towards his socialist, entitlement agenda.

From what I am reading here and other places, people are talking as though when these rogue countries launch nukes it will be from their own country and thus make it easy to identify the enemy, like missiles coming from Russian silos picked up on satellite. These wackos don't play by any rules and they certainly aren't going to start by making themselves readily indentifiable foes.

They could launch from suicide ships or subs that would sink themselves after launch in deep water with no trace of origin to be found in any recovered wreckage. They can bring them in from Mexico in trucks or private plane from any country south of the border. We would be facing a scenario of "who do we shoot at?" after being nuked.

This reality makes the idea of a "STAR treaty" even stupider.

Of course, in the unlikely event we did find out who launched, then I am with Brian and we should immediately destroy the cities and other power bases in the perpetrator's country of origin.

Ron, you make me laugh only because you remind me of my husband, who makes the same observations. Most folks I tell him don't ever stop to think what those acronyms stand for and just use what they hear or see written. So many sheep. Don't be led Ron, lead. We are in desperate need of leaders when ours is now negotiating garbage like this treaty. Totally worthless and sure to put us in a world of hurt if ratified. Thanks to Dr. K for the attempt to educate some of the sheep.

Great artcile it goes with the cartoon I recently saw...It's the wild west town Barrack's six shooters are on the ground around his ankles, he has a big ole grin and he's saying "OK now you drop your's..." to the Russian.

I made 9 stragic deterrant patrols aboard SSBN 619. I was lamenting about being out there doing nothing but hiding these stupid missle preparing for an attack we all new would never come (we prayed). Our C.O. heard me and took us aside and explained about peace through strength not blinking in the eye of adversity. Reagan had just been elected. Within that first year of Reagan I had a real good understanding of our mission from top commanders down. I renlisted!

A nuclear free world is the typical Liberal FEEL good story. But it's a cat that cannot be put back in the bag. A modern and strong nuke defense should always be a goal of any President we have. Not one who wants to dismantle it.
