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.

That has come back! We are being bathed in misery and fear and anxiety for our future. Obama is covering up and denying reasons for much of this which his mismanagement (to be polite) he has and is creating. And making worse by the minute.

Where do you see us in 6 months... a year? Can you say more about what you're feeling? Thanks.

Happens all the time. Local governments will condemn an entire neighborhood, buy the individual properties for pennies on the dollar, and sell it to a company to build a big-box store. They’re run off an entire neighborhood to make way for a Wal-Mart. Disgusting.

Don’t knwow if this is country wide but there is an oppression, a deep dark oppression in the last few years.
I too have studied martial arts for many years, I won’t discuss the belts earned but it’s almost as if one can see his telegraphing his punches then lies about it and if he doesn’t hit right he gets his gang( czars) to do it for him. I think he’s a plain dumb empty suit bully; probably needed more discipline when young, hey he’s just a whie belt in a WH that needs a very discerning master. JMHO

“...That component comprises about 83 percent of the ideology. Islam is only about 17 percent religious...”

We’d better wake-up soon ........................... FRegards

Bin Talal says his goal is to be the largest foreign investor in America.

And with his support for Moslem Obama and a blackmailed, cowed Republican party and the enemies that we face from within - Obama and Bloomberg - are just a couple of MANY traitors, America may well be doomed! Touch and go at the very best!

WAKE UP PEOPLE! you are being led to slaughter by this treacherous administration and their Islamists and Marxist supporters!

Who in America is standing up to and funding a resistance to this?

Anybody?

Do we have any POWERFUL patriots left?

Next few months: Start of sporadic yet organized (incited) street clashes; beginning of serious hunger in certain areas and some health epidemics as physical weakness makes many vulnerable.

Well funded Islamic protestors join in street confrontations. Early chaos around the USA - rise in crime as people rob and steal for basic needs.

People everywhere become very short-temptered. Bad drivers increase.

not a smooth safe life, with very bad prospects ahead of us weighing down on honest shoulders.

With our enemies so powerfulluy entrenched in our corridors of power, we can expect some mind boggling regulations favoring them.

Serious chaos in Libya , Iraq, Egypt endangers Israel.

... Instead of instruments to promote the general welfare, the Democrats and Republicans have become the tools of an invisible government, which owes no allegiance and acknowledges no responsibility to the American people.

We have been politically disenfranchised. We have the right to vote, but we have lost control of the government. ...


That about sums it up.

I don’t think we need any ESP from people starving in Somolia or hurt in a dozen other places to feel sad. Just seeing what is happening to neighbors and homes in foreclosure in neighboring areas is enough to make me and most Americans sad.

Right on target. And it’s getting worse and worse to where more and more of us - except the Obozo leeches - are increasingly discouraged by the prospect of the enormous challenges with which we are being saddled by the “gansgter” regime in which we are enslimed.

Only God knows if we can remove the Obama stench or have to live with it for the rest of our and our family’s lives for generations to come.

Here is a mood lightener and potential business prospect that can be adapted to various locations and needs.

Scary stuff, but how do we fight?

It's like battling shadows when such largle men beat laws into our system a little person, or little We The People cannot fight shadows and doctrines forced upon us.

Best we can do is be educated and not give a pennyu to these things but our taxes go to this stuff and these people so how to figure a strategy to oust this evil altogether?

Voting alone may take too long.

Keep printing the truth

Thanks for the pings, FARS.

Add to the mix - financial craziness. And there might be a weird flu season coming up.

And the Duqu virus or whatever it is - sort of a spinoff of Stuxnet, but apparently worse (not that I know anything about such things, I just try to read). Who know what the Duqu thing is meant to disable or mess with? Or who made it?

I think there will be surprises too.

Oh, and now A-stan backing Pakistan if Pak wants to get belligerant towards the US.
