Bush administration yanks Russia nuclear pact

"That official said the administration wanted to ensure the accord did not go to a vote in Congress, where it could have been rejected following Russia's military action in Georgia. If rejected, it would be difficult for a new presidential administration to pursue the agreement in the future."

Look at the headline and then look at what's actually written in the article. The headline would lead one to believe that Bush is somehow punishing Russia as he "yanks Russia nuclear pact." But, what Bush actually did was save the nuclear pact by not allowing it to go before Congress for a vote where it could have been voted down which would have really killed it. This is the kind of bull-sh*t reporting that is consistently fed to the American public. Unfortunately, most Americans eat this crap with a spoon.
