Obama's Nuclear Poser Review

Barack Obama announced Monday what the New York Times called a "new strategy," his Nuclear Posture Review: he is narrowing the conditions under which the U.S. would use nuclear weapons. For the first time since the U.S. became a nuclear power, the President of the United States has explicitly vowed that we will not use nukes even against countries that use chemical or biological weapons against us, or take us down with a massive cyberattack -- as long as those states are obeying the provisions of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

He also overruled his own Secretary of Defense and said that no new nuclear weapons would be developed. Our aging, rusting arsenal is enough.

The New York Times lapdog reporting on this was pure Walter Duranty:

"He dodged when asked whether he shared Israel's view that a 'nuclear capable' Iran was as dangerous as one that actually possessed weapons.

'I'm not going to parse that right now,' he said, sitting in his office as children played on the South Lawn of the White House at a daylong Easter egg roll. But he cited the example of North Korea, whose nuclear capabilities were unclear until it conducted a test in 2006, which it followed with a second shortly after Mr. Obama took office."

Obama is effectively saying to our enemies, bring it on, we won't fight ya -- leaving us naked and vulnerable like a virgin slipped a Rohypnol on her first date with a Chicagoland gangsta.

There are fools and thenthere are damned fools.

Never-—Never-—Never, tell your enemy what your limits are.

Gates should resign in protest.

There is, evidently, no one in Washington capable of or willing to standing up to this fool and his co-conspirators.
