CNN: Reports that the Republican Senate Minority Leader, Senator McConnell has stated that he cant support the latest US - Russian Treaty when it comes to cutting the nuclear arsenals of the two countries. The Republicans are afraid that that the Treaty will harm the US’s missile defence shield protection. The US Senate must pass a Treaty by 67 votes for it to come in to force, it can be argued that the US Senate should pass the treaty, if the Treaty has a negative effect the Republicans can use it to clobber the Obama White House for being weak on national security, think JFK and the missile gap in 1960. It would be a good issue to run on in 2012 by any Republican nominee.
