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.

I would not be surprised. I predicted that he’d have a minaret constructed on the WH grounds. Now I realize he’d be more likely to do that in a second term.

Thanks. You weren’t kidding about the graphics! I wonder how long most of those signs stayed up before they were vandalized.

More time this Saturday so graphics better focused, still not on topic of articles but definitely “ON TOPIC” about the disastrous Obambi regime.
If you enjoyed these (and the past few graphically flavored News Reads) please share them with your mailing lists internal or external). Share the message and pleasure instead of the Obama PAIN he is inflicting - likely to become more brutal as he struggles to win - even by martially outlawing our elections and UN-Constitutionally ruling by fiat/decree and according to Islam and Marxism.

“Obama ... likely to become more brutal as he struggles to win - even by martially outlawing our elections and UN-Constitutionally ruling by fiat/decree and according to Islam and Marxism.”
As was mentioned in another thread, Our Great Leader's greatest achievement in His first term was to make Congress irrelevant.
My thought was that in His second term, His greatest achievement will be to make the Constitution irrelevant.

Love the report by Scott Paulson; re the movie ‘2016: Obama’s America”. Hope he has many followers per
‘twitter’ and/or Facebook. . .Imagine and ‘if only’.
To: FARS
The signs are ‘so’ Anerican! Love it; and love those who have gone to such lengths to make their point a public service message. Kudos to all who ‘go there’. . .
