BREAKING NEWS...

Excuse me!

Did we just put our imprimatur on another treaty that seems crafted
In Ding-bat land?

Give me a break!

Did you hear this one: Bush goes to India and signs a nuclear treaty with a country that refused to sign the nuclear non-proliferation agreement with the rest of the world.

We know that India has compiled an inventory of nuclear weaponry.

If that by itself is not bad enough, it turns out that as part of this agreement, we have agreed to supply India with cooperation and materials if they agree to support non-military applications and allow us to inspect their nuclear installations.
However, under the preliminary terms of the agreement, as we understand it, India will be allowed to keep eight installations from US inspection. (I’m sorry? Eight installations are exempt? Is this a joke?) and that India will be allowed to add twenty new weapons to its stockpile annually. (TWENTY WEAPONS ANNUALLY? We must be kidding! That’s enough to blow up all of the cities of over one million people in the U.S.!)

The big question: What kind of signals does this send out?

From a point of view of good judgment and, secondly, from a perspective of supporting its own nuclear policy, what are we saying to the rest of the world?

From what we know, it seems that whoever’s idea this was, it started out with something like a logical concept that broke down somewhere in the middle and was recrafted by a committee on peyote!... Viewed from another perspective, it appears that this agreement smacks of desperation; that America can be “conned” and is so desperate for foreign trade that it will do virtually anything to sign off on any kind of agreement to make it look like this trip was another waste of taxpayer money!....

If this original report on the nature of the agreement bears out, it would seem that it’s time for the Executive to take a “time out” and consider the real benefits to its own party of admitting that running a country is just more than it can cope with at this time!....
