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.

Mexican pirates killing of American boater creates outrage
. October 2nd, 2010 8:45 am ET
Law enforcement officials in Texas issued warnings Friday about Mexican
pirates trolling the waters of a U.S.-Mexico border lake after a tourist was
shot and killed while his wife escaped a hail of bullets and raced her Jet
Ski back to American soil. The incident has renewed calls for federal action
by border security advocates.
Search and rescue teams patrolled the U.S. side of Falcon Lake searching for
Colorado tourist David Michael Hartley, 30, whose wife, Tiffany Hartley,
told police he was shot in the back of the head Thursday after being
ambushed by gunmen on boats.
The Texas Department of Public Safety announced during a press conference
Friday that Hartley was believed to have been killed but his body had been
found. The gunmen are suspected Mexican pirates who prowl Falcon Lake, a
favorite spot for water-skiing and bass fishing. There have been five
previously reported pirate attacks on that lake this year.
The shooting has led Texas officials to warn American boaters to use caution
on the 60-mile lake, in addition to issuing its initial warning following
three pirate attacks.
Although many Americans are outraged over this latest border incident,
President Barack Obama and his Administration did not comment on the vicious
attack on American citizens as well as the unbridled assault on Americans in
general. During a press conference held by Secretary of Homeland Security
Janet Napolitano, there was not one word about this unprovoked attack on
U.S. citizens.
President Obama says he wants lawmakers in both houses of Congress to make
progress this year on reforming the immigration system. However, he’s not
talking about how his administration is failing to protect citizens from
criminal aliens, according to border security advocates.
“It’s old news that the Mexican government exports Mexico’s poorest citizens
into the United States for a number of reasons: It relieves them of the
responsibility of providing social and healthcare services for them; it
provides their country’s economy with an influx of US cash when these
illegal workers send money they earn in the US back home; and it defuses
problems with far-left groups who are usually successful in using the poor
to advance their political agenda,” said former intelligence officer and
police detective Sid Franes.
“So the Mexican despots give the poor the ‘bum’s rush’ out of Mexico: Here’s
your sombrero, here’s a map, here’s a bottle of water, now get out! And
American political leaders such as President Barack Obama are too busy
fiddling with the U.S. economy to do anything to protect American citizens,”
said Franes.

Feds Dropping Charges Against al Qaeda Linked Man
This is why you don’t send lawyers to a battlefield. It’s hard enough
prosecuting the ones here in the US, let alone sending in Marines to gather
evidence in
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9IIHN000
Kandahar:
Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to drop charges against the
Afghan-born brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden’s bodyguard, saying a key
overseas witness was unavailable to testify.
The decision was a striking reversal in the case against Ahmadullah Sais
Niazi, who had been accused by prosecutors of lying about his ties to
terrorist groups on his citizenship application.
The government alleged in court papers that Niazi was a dangerous threat who
had spoken of jihad, traveled to Pakistan to meet with a high-ranking
al-Qaida leader, and associated with the Taliban and a terrorist
organization called Hezb-e-Islami, which fights international and U.S.
troops in Afghanistan.
Thank you for the full list of OBL messages, busy doing a lot of ordering around, or so it appears.
Be careful and stay safe, it may be the trigger that so many sick/evil folks are waiting for.
Norwegian Publisher Cancels Biography of Muhammed
Posted By Rita Karlsen On October 2, 2010
The Norwegian historian and journalist Halvor Tjønn has written a biography
of the founder of Islam, Muhammed. The book was announced by the Oslo
publisher Kagge in last year’s fall catalog. But now the publisher has
suddenly pulled out — and refuses to provide any explanation of why it no
longer wishes to publish the book.

No opt-out for immigration enforcement
By Shankar Vedantam
The Washington Post, October 1, 2010
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/30/AR2010093007268.html
The Obama administration is making it virtually impossible for
Arlington County, the District and other jurisdictions to refuse to
participate in a controversial immigration enforcement program that
uses fingerprints gathered by local law enforcement agencies to
identify illegal immigrants.
Participation in the program, called Secure Communities, was widely
believed to be voluntary - a perception reinforced by a Sept 7 letter
sent to Congress by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. This
week, Arlington joined the District, San Francisco and Santa Clara
County, Calif., in voting to opt out of the program.
But the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency now says that
opting out of the program is not a realistic possibility - and never
was.

Thanks. I realized after I posted that this is the new terror update thread.
