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.

Many contributors who have gone dark and no longer post or comment, are returning some focus onto Iran at AntiMullah.
The USA take over by Obama’s fraudulent election, now mirrored by Moslem Brotherhood Egyptian President Morsi’s power grab and Obama sending huge emergency funds to Egypt to support this action will show a trend of pitting Obama protected Islam against efforts to restore our Constitution.

I am very sorrowful, FARS. It seems like twilight is falling, all over the world. I know it will be fought against, and I think the darkness of communism and Islam will lose, but there will be a lot of suffering between now and that day.

I thought that Obama’s support of Morsi was somehow connected to the fact the Morsi has continued the peace accord Egypt has with Israel, and convinced Hammas to settle down. Also, apparently people angry at Morsi have burned the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters. So would these be the secularists, or even more extremist Islamics?

0moslem supports Morsi because Morsi is MB. The whole “Arab Spring” was to get more secular Moslem heads thrown out and radical jihadi type Moslem rulers in. Very simple.

Had to add this before crawling to bed.
The real enemies are lust, greed, envy, anger and all the rest - and they are produced from rebellion to God. So we all have work to do. Problem is so many don’t see this or refuse to, or think they’re the “holy/religious ones” and therefore can kill or dominate others. Everyone motivated by the basest of intents always thinks that he is good and everyone else is the bad guy....
