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 Benghazi attack was also a foreign intelligence attack, and not merely “terrorists” or “contingency”.
It is too easy for a moderate government like in Pakistan to attack US interests via the back door of “terrorism” and blame it all on religion or some racist koran or bible burning.
This is all horsecrap. To wit, why is Obama still hailed as pro-women when he supports islamic extremists promoting female genitalia mutilation? If he can do that, then so can the moderate arab governments promote “extremists” from the other side of their mouths. We saw what a travesty of denial it was when Arafat was recognized as recognizing Israel while he was doing is damn America and Israel speeches otherwise.
Let us connect some dots here: islamists in the WhiteHouse who are known to be foreign agents influence policy; others contribute here politicaly; others yet attack and destroy US missions abroad, making it too easy for us to abandon them with plenty of excuses.
What we are seeing is that foreign agents at all levels are taking control of America and we are still in denial regarding these blatant acts of war and molestation. But so it is that all is accepted and rationalized in a liberal world covering up the ultimately obvious pink elephant: her child is being raped, but she will deny and will not say a thing.

That does make sense....wouldn’t put it past him. He’s got nothing else but his record and this would have been a nice “distraction.”
