Obama Preaches to The Nuclear Choir

Roanoke Times, 4/12/10, Pg 3: Obama lectures world on nuclear proliferation
-
Obama and his major media outlets portrayed this nuc-fest as a major new initiative on nuclear materials and weapons proliferation.
No agreement was documented or signed; just lots of Obama-jive.
-
However, the real news is not what was said and done but what wasn’t :
-
1. President Bush had already established and signed an agreement with Russia covering this subject that was immediately and soundly rejected by Congressional Democrats:
-
MOSCOW, May 6, 2008 -- The United States and Russia signed a long-sought agreement Tuesday on civilian nuclear cooperation, which officials said would offer Russia lucrative new business while limiting the risk of material being used for weapons.
-
"It would be a mistake for the United States to provide Russia an important civilian nuclear benefit while Moscow itself continues to assist Iran's nuclear and missile programs," Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, wrote

2. Preaching to the choir is easy; reaching the heathens - not so much!
The two biggest world nuclear risks are North Korea and Iran.
They were not a party to the Obama nuc-fest; so much for engaging our adversaries.
These are the countries that have declared their intent to destroy us and our friends.
These countries have long range missiles and either have or soon will have nuclear weapons to launch at their will that can hit American cities.
Other than 15 months of Obama-jive, nothing has been done to contain these threats.
Isn’t this the real news! Apparently not for the Obama-press.
-
3. Obama also has unilaterally announced that enemies striking our people with poison gas and biological weapons will be exempt from nuclear retaliation as long as they sign up with him as nice guys before hand!
Has Obama ever viewed the military films on the effects of poison gas and viewed the films of the 200,000 Kurds that Sadam gassed? Apparently not!
Has Obama ever contemplated the effects of an enemy launched contagious virus similar to the 1918 worldwide influenza pandemic? Apparently not!
-
The bad news is the ongoing series of bad policy and bad decisions being made by Obama and associates;
the really bad news is that the American major media continue to cover for and enable his actions without ever fulfilling their responsibilities as the 4th estate.
