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.

Have you met Obamas son? See photo and read about him. Apparent reason for his occasional and recent slip of the tongue of my son. He has a 19-year old boy, Luther! (Lucifer already taken? - (smile)
Maybe that's the kid's last name?
Luther Lucifer. Only an evil gay man with a lisp would give a kid a tongue-twister name like that...

Real psy-ops tactic with potential real response to attack for REAL defense of our embassies with minimal personnel.
Shoot the tops off nearby buildings instead of directly into a mob and watch them scatter with huge reluctance to return in case, next time, the mini-gun aims at them - for their Act of War!

Wonder if you can notify ButterZillion of this ? and Hoosiemema.
This information needs to be on the Natural Born Citizen threads.
I haven't heard about this until you sent me a ping.
