Savage fans won't like this book,
there aren't any pictures:
The country's Number 3 Right-Wing radio blowhard has a link on his Web site pointing to a story on Foxnews.com concerning Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's trip to Moscow.
Clinton and her Russian counterparts discussed a successor treaty to the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which expires in December.
According to the Fox News report, the two sides "tentatively" agreed to a weapons inspection program that would allow Russian inspectors to "visit nuclear sites in America to count missiles and warheads."
This, Fox News breathlessly reports, "would constitute the most intrusive weapons inspection program the U.S. has ever accepted."
Never one to let the thinnest of connections go unconnected, Savage on his radio program this evening declared that the agreement is a done deal, and that it would allow Russians into every US missile facility. he compared it to a Las Vegas blackjack dealer showing his cards to the players before they placed their bets. I'm still trying to figure that one out.
But my point is, Savage once again apparently did not read the story to which his Web site points. The agreement is tentative, the terms have not been confirmed, and there is no mention that the agreement includes every missile location in the country.
And as far as Fox News' assertion about this being the "most intrusive" weapons inspection program ever; says who? Is this Fox News' opinion, or did it come from someone who actually knows what they are talking about?
We don't know because Fox doesn't tell us (big surprise) and Savage doesn't bother to do any primary research (bigger surprise).
The world's laziest Ph.D. strikes again.
Keep the faith.
