For example, as conservatives we believe that it is right to protect the sovereignty of the United States, and to make that that we never, ever for any circumstance, under any purpose, ever yield one ounce of our sovereignty over to some international tribunal. Thats why we need to fight against the law of the Sea Treaty, and make sure it gets a good burial at sea. Thats why we should say no to Kyoto. And its why anytime some United States judge who has taken an oath to the Constitution of the United States should invoke some international law as a basis on which to make a decision, he should be summarily impeached for having done so. </p> <p>LABEL: MH DC 2-9 (JC#104) CIZZ - clipA</p> <p>If youd like to download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: <br />https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/p40psucs0k#MH_DC_2-9_(JC#104)_CIZZ_-_clip</p> <p>To download this entire event, VISIT: <br />https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/yqsvvbjpg9#MH_DC_2-9_(JC#104)_CIZZ_comp</p> </div> <a href="/blog/62720-mike-huckabee-speech-cpac-02-09-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/62237-rudy-giuliani-town-hall-1-7-08 2008-11-12T13:09:23Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F3ORkptUbWc&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F3ORkptUbWc&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/62237-rudy-giuliani-town-hall-1-7-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/77524" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Rudy Giuliani <br />Town Hall <br />Hudson, NH 1/7/08</p> <p>TRANSCRIPT: <br />RUDY GIULIANI: Kyoto—I have always been against.

But, India has never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty and has tested weapons in the past.

I believe that in a world where you have a nation like Iran developing nuclear technology. This is a nation that sits on a lake of virtual free energy. Developing with as much haste as they can accomplish, the enrichment of uranium for the apparent purpose of creating nuclear weapons. If they're able to do such a thing other nations would follow that same course. This is not a time, in my view, for us to shrink from having our own nuclear arsenal. Nor for us to shrink from technology development which is within the nuclear proliferation treaty. So I'm certainly not going to fall outside of our obligations, but I'm also not going to unilaterally weaken America, from a nuclear standpoint, at a time when we face a nuclear risk of some significance.
