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.

Copy these; put them on your neighbor's mailbox; those who voted for Obama. Or perhaps; with a 'thank-you' not. . .on someones car; still sporting their Obama sticker. Or just hand it to these 'voters'; and ask them to keep it; and read it. Not many of them; but they are out there.
As for being another Canada; would only add; that a 'Canada' on America's border; one thing and 'well and good'. Two Canada's; side-by-side'; and no America; is another.
Oh the ignorance; that passes today in America; and what we are reaping because of it.

Not many of them; but they are out there. (Do not talk on phone and post. . .not that it matters; but 'sentence' out of place; was referencing Obama bumper stickers. So few of them; so many 'voters'. . .apparently.

We have to do each our part, however small, and depend on God for whatever result. “I see His hand in all things, and all things in His hand.”
