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.

Think the Queen does not fit the ‘dictatorial model’. Fidel more ‘Obama’s’ dream job. Worst fear; is that he will ‘have it’; on Pennsyvania Ave.

Thanks for keeping me on your ping list. I seldom respond, but read all. Most informative and very timely.
To: Rushmore Rocks
Good to know and glad you enjoy the thread. That as much as, or even more than a response is very important. Clearly I am happy to hear encouraging positive comments though my overriding motive is to inform and share news, which is otherwise often scattered around

There are a great many witty sayings in Persian/Farsi. A very appropriate one refers to Obama.
He is one of those who hypocritically, ignoring his own faults, orders his backside not to follow him around “because you stink”.

Sounds like one of Michelle’s comments about Obama, when they share a bed at night. (Do they, actually?) Whatever; she did ‘go here’.
