New Start Treaty and the US Senate

Washington Examiner: Reports that the New Start Treaty signed by the US and Russia might have a tough time in the US Senate, the article states the following, " The GOP reception has so far been lukewarm at best.. ". In this case Obama needs more than just 51 votes, for any Treaty to pass it has to get 67 votes and over , in other words he needs Republicans to support the Treaty or its dead as a parrot, in this case lets see the details, if any restraint on Missile Defence then the Republicans should oppose the Treaty, also to quote the Gipper, " Trust by Verify " lets see if the Russians are playing fair, after Georgia the Russia Bear has a lot to do to regain the trust of the West. Also the US Senate should make sure that that Obama has not given any private assurance to Moscow when it comes to Missile Defence, aka JFK over Turkish Missiles in the Cuban Missile Crisis. At its most basic folks this blogger does not trust a word out of the mouth of President Obama, so to miss quote Reagan, Lets not trust and verify dam hard, both Obama and Moscow.
