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.

Having woven in and concealed about $105 BILLION in one slush fund and another $20 billion slush fund in the Health Department, scattered around the 2,000 plus page ObamaCare bill - both amounts hidden and passed by Pelosi in “you’ve got to pass it to know what’s in it” fraudulent shove it down their throats, Democrat single party control, Obama feels secure that he has the money ALREADY PASSED and not required to be reconfirmed by Congress, to operate his Health care bill.

And Health Secretary Sibellius’ $20 billion slush is being used to fund and pay off some LameStream Media as well as others to provide support for Obama’s re-election and promote his narcisstic desires, even when it is against the will of “we the people” .

As the child in the first video states “Obama does not care”.
