People needed time on both sides to evaluate the language. <br /><br />And from what I've read Obama refuses to release the notes on the negotiations. So we really don't know for sure what they intended. <br /><br />Fortunately if the DUMA changes a single jot or tittle of the treaty it will have to pass the senate as amended, and I seriously doubt its chances now. <br /><br />This administration either 1) negotiated and signed this treaty without agreeing with its partner as to exactly what it meant, or 2) has deliberately misled the senate as to what the parties agreed. <br /><br />In either case they can't be trusted to do this without a of of supervision and help.DaveWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384839000387921199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-49273486906242891082011-01-04T14:12:31.883-05:002011-01-04T14:12:31.883-05:001.

Could the administration's approach help the interest groups in the leftist ecosystem bring the courts (and transnational organizations) into the disagreement?<br /><br />3. Of course, it would be catastrophically stupid to subordinate strategic national security decisions to the same legalistic rigmarole that has been (mis)used to block the construction of nuclear power plants. With this administration, that's not a reason to not worry.gshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953008291916883288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-36003646956656053742011-01-04T13:55:20.643-05:002011-01-04T13:55:20.643-05:00Of course the Obama administration and the Democra...Of course the Obama administration and the Democrats were lying regarding missile defense. That Democrats wish to emasculate the USA's ability to defend itself is a given. But any Republicans that would take a Democrat's assurances in good faith needs to be thrown out of office.<br /><br />We have a good start with Bennet. Murky is embedded for 6 years, but other idiots who voted for START, like Snowe and Lugar can be challenged in 2012.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15067705499934991249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-71895252397067894582011-01-04T11:24:19.308-05:002011-01-04T11:24:19.308-05:00The line that the Russians and the Americans disag...The line that the Russians and the Americans disagree about the interpretation of the treaty assumes that the administration is telling the truth about what it thinks the treaty means. But they could simply be saying in public what they think the public wants to hear, while privately telling the Russians something different.
