Charles Krauthammer Gets It Right (As Usual)

I haven't yet written about President Obama's nuclear summit because I hadn't found an article that summed it up for me.  Well, the wait is over!  Charles Krauthammer posted an article at the Washington Post today that kind of summed up my reaction.

Mr. Krauthammer points out in his article that the two major threats to the world in the area of nuclear weaponry were ignored at the meeting.  Iran was not on the agenda; as the world's largest supporter of terrorism and racing toward a nuclear bomb, Iran should have at least receive a mention of some kind.  The other threat that Mr. Krauthammer points out is Pakistan, a country that is friendly to us, but is rapidly increasing its plutonium production, which is adding to the world's stockpile of fissile material every day.  The government of Pakistan is not noted for its stability, and their status as a growing nuclear power could easily constitute a future problem.

Mr. Krauthammer points out:

"So what was the major breakthrough announced by Obama at the end of the two-day conference? That Ukraine, Chile, Mexico and Canada will be getting rid of various amounts of enriched uranium.

"What a relief. I don't know about you, but I lie awake nights worrying about Canadian uranium. I know these people. I grew up there. You have no idea what they're capable of doing. If Sidney Crosby hadn't scored that goal to win the Olympic gold medal, there's no telling what might have ensued."

The Obama nuclear summit was another example of the charade this administration has become.  There was a lot of pomp and circumstance and very little substance.  Hopefully we can replace Congress and the President soon enough to prevent any permanent damage to our country or the world.
