Obama amputates our nuclear arms

By: Charles Krauthammer

...snippet...

Under President Obama’s new policy, however, if the state that has just attacked us with biological or chemical weapons is “in compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty,” explained Gates, then “the U.S. pledges not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against it.”

Imagine the scenario: Hundreds of thousands are lying dead in the streets of Boston after a massive anthrax or nerve gas attack. The president immediately calls in the lawyers to determine whether the attacking state is in compliance with the NPT. If it turns out that the attacker is up-to-date with its latest IAEA inspections, well, it gets immunity from nuclear retaliation. (Our response is then restricted to bullets, bombs and other conventional munitions.)

However, if the lawyers tell the president that the attacking state is NPT noncompliant, we are free to blow the bastards to nuclear kingdom come.

This is quite insane. It’s like saying that if a terrorist deliberately uses his car to mow down a hundred people waiting at a bus stop, the decision as to whether he gets hanged or 100 hours of community service hinges entirely on whether his car had passed emissions inspections.

Apart from being morally bizarre, the Obama policy is strategically loopy. Does anyone believe that North Korea or Iran will be more persuaded to abjure nuclear weapons because they could then carry out a biological or chemical attack on the United States without fear of nuclear retaliation?

The naivete is stunning.

Thanks to everyone. In the meantime, with help from Bloggers, the original site has been fixed so all links, new or previous, all work.

the silver lining to all this is the new site Page with the Persian Gulf Medal. We certainly all know someone who served there.

Alan and I will see how best to “deploy” the new page.

This article has been posted by Alan to both the original Antimullah (noiri.blogspot.com or www.antimullah.com ) the link below points to the new page set up when the original temporarily looped around.

Everything now works but you might like the simple layout of the newer one and the Persian Gulf Medal for our vets.

Worth repeating though latest weird comments and oil/energy mismanagement or the Chinese dissident mishandling underline how Obama is getting weirder and new Executive Orders point to him basically “losing his grip” on reality and no longer acting as the President of the USA but a DESTRUCTIVE shill for Islam and Soviet style dictatorship operating out of some fantasy dream land in his own head.

Obama thinks it’s all about him and NOT repeat NOT about America and Americans! And Bill Clinton, trying to support him over the Bin Laden operation, stated that if things had gone wrong and seals were killed or captured - how bad that would have been - not for the SEALS, their families, America in general but for him! Him meaning Obama, as if the mission was all about Obama’s reputation and only about the damage that could have occurred .... to Obama. NOTHING else matters to such arrogant leftists and their effort to promote and protect Obama and their radical mindsets.

When was he acting as the the President of the USA and not as a DESTRUCTIVE shill for Islam and Soviet style dictatorship? Hmmm?...

Maybe never but he is becoming totally, overtly UNHINGED!

Check out the very interesting, doubt inviting video being posted here soon of “who is your mama”

I agree. He is having greater and greater difficulty hiding his inner self.

. . .no longer acting as the President of the USA but a DESTRUCTIVE shill for Islam and Soviet style dictatorship operating out of some fantasy dream land in his own head.

No question he is not acting on behalf of America; just not sure it is a 'fantasy; in his own head'.

Am inclined to think there IS a plan. Whatever the case; am where the 'hook' is going to come from - and when. Or if it is; at all. . .

Isn’t anybody else just a bit disgusted with seeing Bill Clinton talking about how heroic it was to take out Usama, when it was Bill Clinton who REFUSED TO TAKE OUT USAMA - AT LEAST 3 TIMES THAT WE KNOW OF ..??
