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.

“Times Square Bomb: U.S. Officials Finding Foreign Links to New York Bomb Plot
Investigation Pointing to Coordinated Effort in Foiled Times Square Attack”

by RICHARD ESPOSITO, PIERRE THOMAS and BRIAN ROSS
May 3, 2010

SNIPPET: “U.S. law enforcement officials say there is growing evidence the Times Square bomber had ties to radical elements overseas and did not act alone.

One senior official said there are several individuals believed to be connected with the bombing and that at least one of them is a Pakistani-American.”

SNIPPET: “The Washington Post, quoting Obama Administration sources, said the attempted bombing “increasingly appears to have been coordinated by several people in a plot with international links.”

Other law enforcement officials said the investigation was closing in on the driver of the vehicle and an unknown number of others connected to him.”

SNIPPET: “Officials told ABC News Senior Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas that the Connecticut owner of the vehicle told them he had sold the Nissan SUV last month in an unrecorded sale to an “Arabic or Latino looking man” in his 20’s or 30’s, for a few hundred dollars in cash.”

SNIPPET: “The license plate on the car was apparently stolen from an auto repair shop outside Bridgeport, Connecticut, according to law enforcement officials.

The authorities told ABC News that the previous owner provided a description of the man who bought the car, and told investigators the vehicle was sold for several hundred dollars in cash, with no written records identifying the purchaser.

The license plate found on the Pathfinder also came from Connecticut, #98CY09, according to photographs of the vehicle.

Authorities tell ABC News that the plate came from a vehicle that was in a repair shop near Bridgeport, Connecticut.”

“American Who Recently Visited Pakistan Eyed in Times Square Bomb Plot”

FOXNews.com

SNIPPET: “Federal authorities have identified person of interest in Saturday night’s car bomb attempt in New York City’s Times Square, Fox News confirms.

The person is a naturalized American citizen who was in Pakistan for several months and returned to the United States recently, though the person’s identity has not been made public.”

SNIPPET: “Police, meanwhile, have interviewed the registered owner of the bomb-laden sports-utility vehicle but say he is not a suspect. CBS News reports that the man told investigators he recently sold the vehicle on Craigslist for $1,300 to someone who looked “Middle Eastern” or “Hispanic.” The buyer reportedly paid in $100 bills.”

“Police Won’t Rule Out ‘South Park’ Link in Times Square Bomb Attempt”
By Joshua Rhett Miller
- FOXNews.com

SNIPPET: “Younus Abdullah Muhammed, who runs the website RevolutionMuslim.com, told the New York Daily News he was in Times Square when the bomb-packed SUV was found, but he said he was not involved in the failed terror attack.

“What do you think, I commanded somebody to blow up a building in the middle of Times Square?” Muhammed told the newspaper.

“It had nothing to do with the ‘South Park’ controversy. It was not an attack targeting Viacom,” he said. He could not be reached for further comment early Monday.”

(U.S.) Wisconsin University: Jewish, Muslim students clash at UWM
http://www.jsonline.com/features/religion/92563384.html
— University of Wisconsin Journal Sentinel: “The event erupted into shouting and then violence after members of the Muslim Student Association confronted the Jewish students over Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, and a Jewish student attempted to throw a Palestinian flag in the trash.”
— “At one point during the confrontation, Masalkhi said, “some of the hotheads in our group” scaled a climbing wall the Jewish students rented for the event and unfurled a Palestinian flag atop it.”
— “The flag was confiscated, and when one of the Jewish students attempted to throw it in the trash, a Muslim student struck him - though witnesses differ on how hard.”
— “The Muslim students and members of Students for a Democratic Society - which is under investigation by the university for its role in a March protest on campus that turned violent - said they wrote anti-Israel political statements in chalk on the plaza pavement Wednesday night, but denied drawing the swastika.”

“Tanker explosion only a rumour”

Why and who would start a rumor like this?

For what purpose?
