I knew Americans aren't great at hitting targets. But if folks are worrying that they won't be able to hit the right one with all the nukes they've got left you guys really have issues.
Are these "human rights" in the room with us right now?

Bullshit. Rewatch the vid on the newscorpse site, it clearly shows the news anchors, the people on the shows claimed by FOX as their news content, interjecting their opinions into the "news" they give. It also shows them clearly recycling what their own pundits (and no-one else at the time) says, and not attributing it to those pundits but to anonymous naysayers.

Short Synopsis:

Palin, Gingrich, Beck, and other figures popularly touted on Fox show their inability to read... Their misrepresentation of the treaty's content and appeals to WWRD (What Would Reagan Do) [This oddly, however appears to those of us living in reality to be exactly the same as WWOD (What Would Obama Do) in the case of this treaty] is then touted by Fox News Anchors as "critics" of the treaty... Which is then followed by images of nuclear explosions [clearly merely for the news content].

I generally steer away from Cable News Networks.... But I have to say, FOX in this case has opened the throttle all the way on the propaganda machine.
Such heroic nonsense!

Somehow the ability to only bow up the world 5 times over rather then 10 times over scares people. I do not know why.

uh... partially.

our nukes is the basis of MAD. Mutually Assured Destruction. a huge deterrent to using nuclear weapons against the US.

How does this deal reduce our ability to respond to a nuclear attack? We will still have stockpile parity with the Russians, and still be more than an order of magnitude over anyone else.

We currently have the ability to respond to an attack multiple times over. After the deal, a few less multiples, but still multiples.

Ad the one's in th states are still more accurate, the states has better delivery systems aaaaaand the ICBM's are quicker to fuel and launch.

I quote from your video:

Now critics are asking will the new deal leave its... leave the US defenseless, until its too late.

Yeah, critics like Glenn Beck and other Fox celebra-neocon propagandist lunatics.
Round and round the Fox News Political Entertainment Ferris Wheel we go!


Oh no! A pundit with an opinion! How terrible!

Seriously, grow up.

Glenn Beck is a RL Troll.
