Perhaps not. But I highly doubt it.

However, there is no doubting that the Soviets cheated in both SALT and the ABM treaties.

Reagan withdrew the US from SALT in 1986, because of Soviet cheating.

And the Russians themselves eventually admitted that Krasnoyarsk violated the ABM treaty.

I do not use the word “stupid” to describe mental defect. I use it to describe incompetence.

In my previous comment, I use it pointedly to insult the useless boobs who voted for Obama and that raging incompetent of an affirmative action hire, Mr. Obama himself.

Mr. Obama has poorly handled the economy, Gitmo, North Korea, Honduras, China and Russia. He should have known his choices were poor because history has told us so. And to repeat them is sheer incompetence–i.e. stupid.

Or as you said, “stupid men repeat history.”

Whiner, check. Immature, check. Brazen thug, check. Malicious, check. Incompetent, double check. These defects do not exclude one another. Indeed, they often all afflict the same person. (Right now, I’m thinking of Alec Baldwin and Jeanine Garofolo.)

I do not underestimate Mr. Obama. He is after power, and armed with those particularly wicked defects, he is dangerous. Very dangerous.

The Emperor may have no clothes, but he’s still Emperor.

“It is next to impossible to verify such details. (Something we should have learned from North Korea, Iran and even Iraq.)”

START and INF did work—but with very strict rules and processes (I was an arms control inspector under both treaties for five years). The Soviets/Russians didn’t cheat, because there was no room in the agreement to cheat. However, anything with Bill Ayers/Rev Wright’s man’s finger prints won’t cut the mustard. This Chicago thug thinks he can talk his way to arms reductions in a world where everyone else is struggling for parity—in a word: stupid. But, he was elected. IF the Republic survives his destructive economic policies, we may be undone by his utterly stupid foreign policies. The man is a train-wreck…

“History does not repeat itself – stupid men repeat history.”

But, Confucius, while a great many people displayed a great deal less than what I’d call intelligence in putting a pleasing baritone in the White House, I wouldn’t call Obama stupid.

A whiner, certainly. Immature, most definitely. A brazen thug who hobnobs with the worst leaders humanity has to offer, absolutely. But not stupid.

You see, his track record as Teleprompter in Chief can only be explained by one of two things – maliciousness or incompetence. If he was merely stupid, the laws of statistics say that at least some of his actions should be to the benefit of the people he was elected to represent.

I think the past few months have shown we should not underestimate this man in his lust for power, his need for control or his avoidance of responsibility.

Others here could likely say it better, but that’s my $0.02.

I believe that history does repeat itself. In fact, I believe it repeats with dependable regularity that stupid voters can be depended on to elect stupid presidents every 30 years or so.

Most pundits and politicos believe successful presidential candidates have to be owned by Wall Street to get elected.
Obama gladly sold his soul. Sarah won’t.

How stupid is Colonel Obama, pretty damn stupid it would seem.

And what about China?

Oh, flew in from Miami Beach B.O.A.C.
Didn’t get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
You don’t know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.S.R. (Yeah)

Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it’s good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
You don’t know how lucky you are boy
Back in the U.S.
Back in the U.S.
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia’s always on my mind

Aw come on!
Ho yeah!
Ho yeah!
Ho ho yeah!
Yeah yeah!

Yeah I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
You don’t know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia’s always on my mind

Oh, show me around your snow-peaked mountains way down south
Take me to your daddy’s farm
Let me hear your balalaika’s ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
Hey you don’t know how lucky you are boys
Back in the U.S.S.R.

Oh let me tell you, honey
Hey, I’m back!
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
Yes, I’m free!
Yeah, back in the U.S.S.R.

Ha ha

So, let’s see … at the end of Times, Russia is a key player in forming the great army that attempts to annihilate Israel and seal the city of Jerusalem and the Temple for the AntiChrist. Hard to see how we’re going to prevent any of that if we disarm and Russia goes right on building and distributing nukes.

Maybe Obama is the False Prophet who comes ahead of the AntiChrist.

Uhhh…right. Sure we can, ’cause they’ve always been so truthful in the past! Arggg!

Does Obalmy think we are complete idiots?….I know, I know, at least half this country will believe the sky is polka dot if Obamy says so.

Lets see now.
Obalmy and lefties have killed the housing market.
They have killed the banking system.
They have ruined the car industry
They are spending us into the ground to where the average person will stay broke along with his kids and grandkids. And now there is talk about another “stimulus”
Our entire economy is in the tank and is still falling…fast.
Unemployment is in the double digits
He has played palsy walsy with every tin horned third world dictator he can find.

(Just to name a few issues he is responsible for…I know you all can add to this list)

And now he is snuggling up to one of the two worst major world powers there are. (China being the other one)

Umm I see a trend here…(Ya think?) Once he has totally disarmed an already very weakened America…Russia has only to walk in and take possession of the White House. Of course Obalmy, like Castro, will actually live there, but with the backing of wonderful Russia, we can all relax and enjoy the land of “sharing the wealth”. And I’ve always wanted to learn Russian anyway.

Of course we can depend on trusting Russia. Pay no attention that they have never honored their agreements in the past. That was then, this is now. (choke)

Rush’s fill in today (sorry I can’t remember who he is) said he watched Obalmy as he was presented in the elaborate hall there. Rush’s fill in said he never saw Obalmy look more comfortable in his surroundings. No fidgeting, totally relaxed. He looked at home among his “peers”.

I only caught a few seconds of him there…and I will have to say he did look comfortable. TOO comfortable.

We HAVE to get this idiot out of office at our first opportunity. And we HAVE to take away his ability to shut the GOP out come 2010.

Yielding to my betters here…Isn’t what he has done so far…close to treason? Is there anything he has done so far that he can at least be impeached for? Or is it necessary to wait until we have the majority in congress.? .

He has done more against America than any president I know of in history.
