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.

WND wants me to sign up to see the news conference. How in the heck do I sign up? I put in the information and then if I hit where it says send it wants me to log on to facebook. What if I don't have facebook? Then if I hit the e-mail button it wants me to send to a friend.

Is anyone going to just provide a link to this conference?

This is the link to the event - starting at 5:30 EST - currently Off Air.

Should be 2:30 Pacific Daylight or 3:30 Central

Note: this link was sent to us after we “signed up” so give it a try in advance to see if it takes you to the correct location (currently off air) but still shows the place holder.

Hope this resolves your dilemma

Obama daughters officially “senior staffers” at what salary? Paid to live in the White House? Our taxes giving them spending money?

Obama is reportedly worth $11 Million on a salary of less than $400,000 so he can afford their pocket money!
