Obama fights US Republicans and blue dog Dems on nuclear treaty and concessions with Russia
The US Lawmakers, especially the Republicans are critical about the concessions, particularly on missile defense, that the United States might make to conclude a new nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia. Obama wants peace and mutual respect between Russia and US. The neo con Bush surrogates wants war and confrontation. They still did not learn their har earned lesson from Iraq adventure.
In a sharp contrast to what Obama Administration is pushing for, the Senate went on record endorsing a missile defense system being considered for Eastern Europe that Russia detests, and warning against any arms treaty with Russia that puts limits on that system.
President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, met in Moscow earlier this month, and set a goal of reducing strategic warheads by about a third, to a range of 1,500 to 1,675. The intent is to come up with a nuclear arms reduction pact to replace the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which expires Dec. 5.
But 67 senators or two-thirds of those present must ratify treaties, giving the Senate's 40 Republicans, with their traditional advocacy of a strong nuclear deterrent, rare leverage.
The neo cons see a chance of confrontation again. They want to snub Obama Administration to make sure the scope of war mongering is open. The blue dog Democrats who are closer to neo cons than the progressive wing of the Democratic party will make the final decision who will win – Obama or the shadow of the failed President George Bush!
