Beware Bad Treaties

July 6th, 2010

THE START TREATY SIGNED BY OUR PRESIDENT IS AN IMPROVIDENT EXERCISE IN UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT, DISGUISED AS A BILATERAL TREATY WITH RUSSIA.

As former Governor Romney in today’s Washington Post swrites –

Whatever the reason for the treaty’s failings, it must not be ratified: The security of the United States is at stake. The only responsible course is for the Senate to demand and scrutinize the full diplomatic record underlying the treaty. Then it must insist that any linkage between the treaty and our missile defense system be eliminated. In a world where nuclear weapons are proliferating, America’s missile defense shield must not be compromised. As currently drafted, New START is a non-starter.

For the entire OP Ed, go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/05/AR2010070502657.html

I agree…and would add that Mr. Romney is looking better and better and the GOP’s best choice for 2012.
