President Obama's New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New-START) with Russia could be his worst foreign policy mistake yet.
The treaty would give Russia an even greater advantage in its total number of nuclear weapons. It calls for restraints and reductions on us that would not have to be matched by the Russians. And inexplicably, it limits our ability to deploy an effective missile defense system. As such, it fails to address the looming threats posed by Iranian and North Korean nuclear proliferation.
By all indications, the Obama administration has been badly out-negotiated, as noted yesterday by the National Review. Perhaps the President's eagerness for global disarmament led his team to accede to Russia's demands, or perhaps it led to a document that was less than carefully drafted.
Whatever the reason for the treaty's failings, it must not be ratified: The security of the United States is at stake.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that President Obama's foreign policy missteps have damaged our national security interests. His decision to abandon our missile defense system in Central Europe undercut key allies like Poland and the Czech Republic. And his policy of "engagement" with rogue nations has been met with North Korean nuclear tests, missile launches and the sinking of a South Korean naval vessel, while Iran has accelerated its nuclear program, funded terrorists and armed Hezbollah with long-range missiles.
This is a critical midterm election year, and we need to ensure that we elect leaders who understand that a strong America is the best hope for freedom and peace in the world, and who will put our national security interests first. Will you stand with me today in this effort by making a contribution to my PAC of $35, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, $2,500 or even the maximum $5,000?
Providence has blessed America and trusted us to safeguard liberty. In a time of economic distress at home and challenge abroad, let ours be the voice of clarity and good sense -- confident in our cause, and faithful in the care of freedom.
