Heritage Foundation: The START Treaty – The ghost of broken promises past

Heritage Foundation: “The White House is still confident that, despite losing Graham and possibly McCain, they can still muster the nine Republican votes needed for ratification. Yesterday, President Barack Obama issued a letter pledging to fully develop missile defense in Europe. In the letter, the President claims that New START ‘places no limitations on the development or deployment of our missile defense programs’ and promises that he ‘will take every action available to me to support the deployment of all four phases’ of a missile defense system in Europe. Senator Bob Corker (R–TN) took to the floor welcoming the President’s letter: ‘A number of people on our side of the aisle have asked for it.’”
