Giving away our strategic advantages, thanks to Obama. You screwed up again.

Amazing how stupid and dumber this administration gets. I am not surprised by anything that this band of traitors and far left asshats does. Is this what they call leading by example, transperancy, or is it the old stand by, 'let's all be friends?' I will show you mine if you promise to show me yours. Great diplomatic strategy and honesty here. I wonder if the mullah obamaham, the first Muslim POTUS got advice from Jimmy 'the dhimmi' Carter on this one? Why not give the location and coordinates while we are at it. No sense in keeping secrets anymore. Can't you feel the love flowing from the Islamic world and our enemies after this momentously stupid action?


"The U.S. hopes to shame Pyongyang and Tehran into compliance. Good luck with that hopey-changey idea. America's new national policy seems to be one of peace through weakness and talk softly while throwing away our stick.


When Iran's loon, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has pledged to wipe Israel off the map when Tehran gets its nukes, reminded the conference that the U.S. was the only nation to use nuclear weapons, our response should have been: "Feel lucky, Mahmoud?" INDEED!

America's Nuclear Surrender
IBD editorial

Defense: The administration proudly reveals a state secret to our enemies before a U.N. conference on nuclear nonproliferation. It wants to lead by example on disarmament, but Iran and North Korea aren't following.

Not since the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Pact that sought to outlaw war as an instrument of national policy has there been such a stunning display of dangerous naivete.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton disclosed U.S. nuclear secrets to the U.N. conference while proudly proclaiming it showed America is sending "a clear, unmistakable signal" that this nation is committed to nuclear disarmament.

Kellogg-Briand laid the groundwork for Munich in 1938, Pearl Harbor in 1941 and the cataclysm of World War II. Among the initial signatories were Germany and Japan. Being committed to peace and disarmament brings neither.

We prefer President Kennedy's dictum that "only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed." Compare that clarion call to defend America with Mrs. Clinton's announcement that "beginning today, the United States will make public the number of nuclear weapons in our stockpile and the number of weapons we have dismantled since 1991." If we show you ours, will you show us yours?

The U.S. hopes to shame Pyongyang and Tehran into compliance. Good luck with that hopey-changey idea. America's new national policy seems to be one of peace through weakness and talk softly while throwing away our stick.

When Iran's loon, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has pledged to wipe Israel off the map when Tehran gets its nukes, reminded the conference that the U.S. was the only nation to use nuclear weapons, our response should have been: "Feel lucky, Mahmoud?"

Instead, President Obama sent a letter to the conference in which he said, "We will see whether nations without nuclear weapons will fulfill their obligation to forsake them." That we will, Mr. President. That we will.

Our nuclear arsenal is getting not only smaller, but also older and less reliable. The administration refuses to do the testing necessary to verify that what the U.S. has still works or to develop a replacement warhead to keep America's nuclear deterrent current and credible.

The White House recently announced a Nuclear Posture Review that restricts the scenarios in which the U.S. would use nuclear weapons in its defense. It also tells the enemy what the scenarios are. In Prague, the U.S. signed an arms-limitation treaty that assumes nuclear weapons are the problem, not who might have them.

France and Great Britain have nuclear weapons. Do they threaten us or the world? No. Four of the world's nine nuclear-weapon states are not signatories to the 1970 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, written in an era of overwhelming U.S. nuclear security. Of these, three are democracies — India, Pakistan and Israel.

Threatened with extinction by those we would persuade, does anyone think Israel would diminish its arsenal in quality or quantity, then brag about it to Tehran hoping to lead it by example?

In a speech in Prague last year, Obama spoke of "America's commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons," ignoring the fact that before 1945 we lived in such a world and it was neither peaceful nor secure.


Time was when our nuclear secrets were just that — secret — and our enemies were certain of one thing — they dare not tick us off. Now they're certain they can play a waiting game until our ability and will to defend freedom ends not with a bang, but a whimper.
