I was watching the news this morning and saw that our President Barack Obama has sent a “secret” letter to Moscow and their President Dmitry Medvedev offering to scrap plans for a missile defense shield in Europe if Russia helps rein in Iran’s nuclear program.

I can not believe it. Since when is preventing a missile from hitting an American city or a “Friend of America” get offered up in a deal to stop a regime that supports terrorism, denies the holocaust took place, refuses to recognize Israel, and has helped kill American soldiers fighting for freedom in Iraq? The rational is that if we eliminate the threat of Iran building a nuke than there is no need for a missile defense system. HELLLOOOOO?!?!??!?!

This is appalling. Sure we need Russias help and would like nothing more than to develop a strong relationship with Russia but at what expense? I really am in shock over this. We wouldnt need a missile defense system? Russia is still under the control of Vladimir Putin and North Korea still has nukes and Pakistan is 1 violent overthrow of their government to having radical Islamists in complete control of a nuclear arsenal. We dont need a missile defense system? 

I find it really sad that the current leadership of our nation is afraid to call a threat a threat and name names. Ronald Reagan looked Russia right in its eye and called it an Evil Empire. George H.W. Bush looked Saddam in his eye and called him what he was and that was an evil dictator. George W. Bush looked terrorism in the eye and called it was it was - EVIL and he also looked Iraq, Iran and North Korea in the eye and called them the Axis of Evil. This administration led by Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid are scared to even say the words “war on terror.”  They absolutely refuse to say it. They do not understand the threat of terrorism and they will only make the terrorists stronger by giving up things to appease the enemy. Worst of all? They are giving up the security of free people around the world.

Shame on you!
