And WHY do the mullahs feel god will deliver us into their hands no matter the odds?

Because we are too fat, lazy, complacent and risk averse to do the simplest task to look after ourselves

U.S. to stop counting new missiles in Russia

The United States is about to lose a key arms-control tool from the closing days of the Cold War -- the right to station American observers in Russia to count the long-range missiles leaving its assembly line.

The end of full-time, on-site access will likely ignite complaints in Congress, with insiders from both parties arguing over whether the George W. Bush or the Obama administration is responsible.

Republicans are worried by the previously undisclosed agreement between the Obama administration and the Kremlin in October, which formalizes the inspectors' departure this Saturday. This, they warn, would cripple Washington's ability to police Moscow's compliance with agreed reductions in its nuclear arsenal.

Democrats, on the other hand, insist they were "stuck" with an agreement reached late last year between the Bush administration and Moscow but not made public. This, they said, left the Obama team no choice.

The U.S.-staffed Votkinsk Portal Monitoring Facility operates under the terms of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START I) at the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant, about 600 miles east of Moscow -- the site where all Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) are built.

What are we to do about the professional acumen of these people in charge today? If the Russians will not agree to continue, WE BEGIN THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING NEW WEAPONS. WEAPONS THEY CANNOT COUNT. WEAPONS WHICH CAN BE LAUNCHED WITH ALMOST NO WARNING. WEAPONS THEY CANNOT DETECT.

I don't care about what Bush did at this point (if anything). This is up to today's administration to deal with. I just don't want to hear some excuses from a bunch of 8 year olds who think they got a raw deal in the playground.

Not EVEN COUNTING weapons whose use can only be against us or China is TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE
