Obama amputates our nuclear arms
By: Charles Krauthammer
...snippet...
Under President Obamas 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. Its 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.

The cartoon depicting the new Islamic Egypt’s law permitting sex sessions with your dead wife gets mocking comments around the world.
Islamic mullahs revert to and expand ancient Pharaonic priests’ necrophilia to the general population.
Text in Persian describes the “new law” but the cartoon is self-explanatory.

Pretty disgusting but give some insight as to how the Islamists regard the female of our species, and that regard would be “not at all.” I am completely baffled concerning the Islamic mind. I can only believe that some sort of mental illness is infused into their brains beginning at birth.

Trump appears a 'bit slow' in his search for truth. . .Do hope he is still looking. Seems, only if one is 'high profile' does this get the media attention it deserves.
A bit quiet out there; too quiet. . .

Has anyone noticed this pro-Moslem Brotherhood, Obama policy - as effectively imposed in Libya and Egypt to allow a Brotherhood over of power - also being applied to achieve the same aims in Syria?
Either Obama is so certain that he will be re-elected that he is now acting overtly to get a leg up to push Islamist power grabs or so afraid he will not be, he is pushing hard to create as much benefit for his Islamist buddies before he gets kicked out.

... before he gets kicked out.
Romney has McCain's disease. Obama will not lose. Hundreds, thousands, or millions of erstwhile conservatives will either sit home or vote Obama, rather than elect a non-conservative like Romney.
They believe that Obama will leave voluntarily after his second term expires and the erstwhile conservatives can elect a true erstwhile conservative.
Obama will have the last laugh, I fear.

“Your pleasure rings happily in my ears”.
Am watching the Borgias series and thus emulate their speech cadence - (smile)
Hope you share it all with others.
