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.

Graphic Alert!

Islamists Crucify Black Man in Yemen (I don’t know why his link says something else. Brothers for Obama and those in Islam) need to see this.

In the picture of Ambassador Stevens slung over the shoulder of of an attacker and captioned “dead or alive”, I think his bent arm taking weight off his chest indicates he was still alive and trying to breathe. Otherwise both arms of a cadaver would be hanging down.

What say you?

If you study both images, the one in which he is being dragged along the ground and the one in which he is being carried over the shoulder of a terrorist, the right arm appears to be in the same position.
Therefor I think rigor mortis was a factor.

Rigor mortis fades after a certain amount of time and the dead body regains suppleness.

I’m aware of that...but if his left arm is in the same position in both images then I gather rigor mortis was present.

In that picture, He appears to be expired, sadly.

God Bless his soul ... Amen

Watch the below video from INN news/Arutz Sheva that showed a choreographed "filming" in which the ambassador was clearly dead( looking) and the guys were yelling" film,film" as in "start the filming,"" then yelling," allah akhbar."

The video on You Tube

The same video with transliteration on INN-Arutz Sheva

Please remember Obama admistruation has been telegraphing the "Innocence of muzzards" or whatever it's called video and Obama has gone on record numerous times, even on Letterman to say it was the video. So of course this video will not get much news because it's the real deal. The ambassador as i have written looks clearly dead and the Libyan's looks overjoyed. NOT something the WH wants you to see

Turning a terrorist attack into a protest requires that the dead ambassador is seen to be carried to the hospital although rigor mortis is evident. Then the doctor can state he attempted to resurrect the victim who was still breathing.
They really do believe the citizens of the US are ALL idiots

Top picture he is definitely dead. You can tell by the fact his eyes are open with no life in them. Also the pooling of blood (on his arms and hand, bruising look) suggests that he probably fell face down with his arm and hand under him.

Tragic ain’t it? It was sad but now I’m more angry than a cornered,human. These treasonous basturds need a judgment day. I don’t like saying that but my patience with this admicturation has run out a couple years ago however a new blast of adrenalin has hit since the bald faced lies on Romney and then this, lying while FOUR people MURDERED and they tell muslim I mean muzzard countries it’s the video for a scapegoat. it’s sick!

And my first reaction was it couldn’t get any worse, but now I wonder. I’m beinning to think that Lenin plotting for decades and ultimately taking over in Russia while the countryside slept was bad enough...but he seems to have been almost a gentleman compared to this mob.
