Well, you may speculate that, but that's not the stated policy.

You stated that any nation that nuked us would be toast because Obama would hit them back. That is speculation. Obama has a demonstrated aversion to policy, tradition, and the American way.

Now that I have seen this turd in action for a year, I do not believe for a minute he would strike back for a nuclear attack with nukes, or even strike back at all. I think he would try "diplomacy".

You stated your opinion, and I did in response.

You were saying ...

You stated that any nation that nuked us would be toast because Obama would hit them back. That is speculation.

No, that would be policy. It's long-standing policy, too.

What you're saying in that Obama wouldn't do that -- now "that" is speculation. There's a difference in saying "This is the policy of the United States" (which can be shown) -- and saying -- "Obama won't follow long-standing nuclear policy." (which is speculation).

On top of that, I can pretty well guarantee you that both Democrats and Republicans would be going "nuclear" over it (if you're forgive the pun) and everyone would be demanding it. There's no President who is going to stand against long-standing policy and against both parties and the American public, all at the same time.

Nope, no one would put up with that one. If you wanted a "sure scenario" to get rid of Obama -- that would be the scenario -- guaranteed... :-)
