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.

It’s looking like the ambassador had a meeting with Libyan army people 3 days before where they warned him that he wasn’t safe and that something might happen.

'How' has this been confirmed? Color me 'sceptical'. . . Sounds like Obama losing the credibility battle; has found a story to play whereby, a dead Chris Stevens takes 'final' responsibility for his death; and those of all who died along with him.

If this IS true; then we can be sure; this information was not limited to Chris Stevens.

Whatever the 'truth'; we know; authentic 'American' Leadership - on behalf of America/Americans - was MIA. As is has been; since Obama became Prez.

I knew that the money and arms came from iran... the speculation about the Ambassador is something that I just do not care about... he is dead and murdered while on duty. That deserves a level of respect. It has no bearing on the outcome of what we do to never allow this to happen again.

Yeah, looks like they were taking Chris Stevens to the hospital in the most gentle way.. Sarcasm.

Obama care health care, where we lend a gentle helping hand when someone in is need of medical care, and transport them to the hospital in the most gentle way.



The official word that the protesters were taking him to the hospital was all a lie.

Is this administration with Eric Holder going to treat this as a hate crime since Chris Stevens was gay on the supposed " Coptic Christian " who was to have suppose to have produced that so called Innocents of Islam " film ?

Blogger has changed its site software with a “new” look, so it took me a while to settle in ! Long post. Scroll down to the end and choose some of the edgy titles. BTW this is onlythree days worth!

Actually ? that Iranian produced automobile looks like a Iranian knockoff of the German Mercedes-Benz/Opel/Swedish Volvo.

We have to let go of the idea that Obama is clueless. He know exactly what he is doing - tearing this country apart piece by piece so it will no longer be unique in the world.

Exactly. People tend to default to a benefit of doubt assessment of Obama as incompetent and over his head by filtering his actions through their own lens of morality and ethics. This is the same dangerous thought process that many people have concerning Islam. Both Obama and Islam provide plenty of signals as to their intent. We ignore them at our peril.

OBAMA HAS MADE FREE SPEECH near him A FELONY!!!!!! NOT JOKING!!!!

Details in a video have been added to this article. MUST VIEW

Want more proof he is the American Khomeini? Setting us up not to just be silent but when he has enough power SILENCED by force, lethal if need be. This is a replay of Iran. Same strategies, same tactics, same Marxist-Islamic formulae, same rabble rousing.

Amusing how Khomeini could not draw a street crowd until he started handing out half a beef bologna sandwich to those who showed up with a 10 Touman/100 Rials banknote in the wrapper.

Worth about $1.50 in those days but with a buying power of a $10 bill there in those days.

Obama uses food stamps.

Nobody seems to understand or can even seem to be able to IMAGINE the danger we are in with Obama in charge. It’s no longer a simple political matter. He MUST BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE in November.
