ANOTHER GREAT ACHIEVEMENT FOR PRES. OBAMA

On POLITICO, some wingnut commenters claim that Pres. Obama hasn't accomplished anything and while the health care bill certainly disproves that, he also has a great foreign policy advance in the works. I know the wingers will claim this is bad for us, just as Sean Hannity has done, but they are terribly mistaken.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. and Russia reached a breakthrough agreement Wednesday for a historic treaty to reduce the nuclear arsenals of the former Cold War rivals, the most significant pact in a generation and an important milestone in the decades-long quest to lower the risk of global nuclear war.

After long and trying negotiations, President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev are to sign the treaty in two weeks in Prague, once final technical details are worked out, officials in Washington and Moscow said. The accord is expected to cut the number of long-range nuclear weapons held by each side to about 1,500, and it raises hopes for further disarmament in the years ahead.
