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.

Sadly, yes. I have no way to prevent it and apologize. The choice currently is to stop posting or ask you to be indulgent. It has something to do with Google Chrome clashing with whatever operates on FR. I have and do scan for viruses (virii)and do not find any and I use a high grade anti-virus.
However I have just had a light bulb come on over my head. The Google browser is obligatory for Google Blogger but I will try to use Internet Explorer to post links to FR and see what happens.
So please forgive me if you see this particle article link come up again while I try to test and find a work around to prevent the triplicates and occasionally quadruplicates.

Apparently did not work, though the reply to Shalom only appears once but not in Pings at all.

Correction. The reply to Shalom has now appeared in the Pings and was posted using Google Chrome, so FR must have taken care of it. Hope it holds. FYI just did a complete in depth virus scan and my computer is clean.
Thank you all for your patience. Hopefully what is posted by me is worth your graciousness.

Adding a post to the Alamo Girl incoming message seems to have stopped the triplicates but need to post this to the ping list to see if that is an aberration. I am trying to take care of it or find a work around if it comes from my end

Beautiful. As I watch something so equisite I ask myself, what has islam ever produced as a culture that one could say was beautiful?
It’s truly as arid and cruel as the desert.

It has been for a long time and is still all in 3’s as are others like John Semmens. Some others are only duplicates.
I think I need to just get off all the lists for a while.
Has anyone tried that? (Off and on again)
