Group Warns Obama Administration on Nuclear Deterrent

From NIT.org (July 6):

WASHINGTON -- A think-tank report issued last week warns the Obama administration against rushing into reductions to the U.S. nuclear deterrent in a follow-on agreement with Russia to a major arms control treaty (see GSN, July 1).

The report, U.S. Nuclear Deterrence in the 21st century: Getting it Right, was issued Wednesday by the New Deterrent Working Group, a panel of experts sponsored by the conservative Center for Security Policy.

"What this report asks the administration to do ... is 'Don't get caught up in a moment; don't go for arms control for arms control sake. Think about not only the world today, but of the world tomorrow,'" Paula DeSutter, a working group member who served in the State Department during the Bush administration, said at the document's roll-out event at the National Press Club.

This report is pretty much a no-brainer. Yea, King Emperor (can't seem to get it right) President Obama is gung-ho to unarm America when the rest of the world is not unarming (like N. Korea). Makes sense to me like dropping a brick on your foot. Here is another quote from the article:

"The administration is rushing to take major, unexplored, high-risk actions" to achieve that goal, Robert Monroe, a former director of the Defense Nuclear Agency, said without elaborating. "It's one thing to have a visionary goal ... but it's quite another to take drastic actions to reach that visionary goal; actions which may well make today's problem's far worse and expose us to much higher risks."

Are you listening Obama? Probably not. He is rushing into disarming America, like he is rushing into universal health care, and global warming mandates, sorry I mean climate change or whatever it is being called nowadays. Both universal health care and climate change mandates will destroy this country's economy. But Obama knows all. Or at least he (and his followers) thinks he does.
