HRC 6152223
START OP-ED
Jim DeMint vs. the US Military
On Thursday, September 16, a bipartisan supermajority of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to recommend the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) for ratification by the full Senate.
Senator Jim DeMint couldn't be bothered to stay for the final vote, but during committee debate, he said,
"If we are going to move ahead with the commitment not to protect the people of the United States, I think everyone in this country ought to know it."
Senator DeMint's comment raises the singular issue regarding New START, and any other national security treaty: does it make America safer? Senator DeMint clearly thinks not-and, in fact, that the Treaty is a "commitment not to protect" our country.
But if Senator DeMint is right, our nation has a bigger problem than New START, because a Treaty that amounts to a "commitment not to protect" America has been enthusiastically and unanimously endorsed by our national security leaders.
