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.

I wonder if Obama’s flying to Florida around the similar time frame WITHOUT carrying out any campaign event and an immediate return to Washington D.C. had anything to do with with this story..........

Several media outlets have labeled this mystery trip to Florida as “The Most Expensive Pizza Run Ever”. I’m also doubting that it was done trivial reasons. Could you imagine if Bush had done something like this just days before the 2004 election? With O, this was news for 5 minutes. Hurry up, move along!!

While implementing his own political coup for the overthrow of America by illegal Executive Orders Obama is running scared of a military coup to remove him and his treachery from the White House.

Reminds me when I was part of an NGO with senior worldwide management responsibilities and was encountering interference blocking positive results.

I was complaining to our senior financial executive about only spending half my time in proceeding forward because I was spending it on blocking back-stabbing attacks, tus slowing progress.

The older executive chuckled and replied: “you’re lucky! Like you I spend half my time dealing with back stabbing BUT I use the other half stabbing them back, not working like you. I have no time left in which to work at my duties!”

Obama plans and executes his take over while trying to avoid being kicked out by others.

Sorry got the Admiral's names wrong, quote from a source:

Admiral Gaouette and Admiral ham were "reassigned ironically almost immediately after the stand down order."

Because as patriots they were not prepare to accept orders to abandon those Americans put at risk by Islamic traitor Obama and he could not allow that to happen. Obama needed these Americans to be taken hostage so he could do a “heroic rescue”. Even putting an Al/Qaeda affiliated activist IN CHARGE OF security and CURRENTLY the person in CHARGE of investigating the events.

Persian saying: they asked a fox “who is your witness?” The fox arrogantly replied “my large bushy tail!”

Obama’s dereliction of duty to advance Islamic terrorism is a treasonous action from start to finish putting the fox and hen house concept to shame.

The difference here is that he was TREACHEROUSLY ASSISTING THE KNOWN TERRORIST ENEMY TO KILL AND/OR CAPTURE AMERICAN DIPLOMATS AND MILITARY - NOT CHICKENS!!!!!!!

Posts seem to self-propagate so I am getting multiple copies.

Yesterday I discovered a Trojan virus created in my browser via FR and cleaned it out and to be sure did a repeat full scan and came out clean.

Also found a couple of emails on Alan’s site which were zapped and deleted by the antivirus, so FR and some of us are being attacked. Badge of honor to be attacked by the Obamabots.

Since our antivirus holds out, kt becomes mo more than a minor annoyance.

cheers and it never hurts to pray for each and for our country
