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.

Helicopter sabotage targets Indian billionaire

NEW DELHI (AP) – Anil Ambani does not wait in traffic.

The billionaire industrialist often commutes by helicopter, soaring far above the traffic jams that clog his sprawling hometown of Mumbai.

But Ambani’s high-flying life could have ended last week — a complaint filed with police said pebbles and gravel were found in the chopper’s engine — debris that could have caused the craft to crash.

The case took a bizarre twist this week: the technician who discovered the suspected sabotage turned up dead. Bharat Borge’s body was discovered on suburban Mumbai railway tracks after he was apparently hit by a train — a death police are calling suicide but Borge’s family believes was murder.

Belgium: Guess who’s making threats now?

Why, it’s Anjem Choudary, soon to be Belgium’s very own.

Taking a page from the Anjem Choudary handbook, turns out “Muslim Rise” is actually another name for Sharia4Belgium. Same radicals, multiple groups. And this time, they’ve brought friends from the UK (Choudary) and Denmark.

I’ve been reporting about Sharia4Belgium ever since they put up their site. They’ve been very active since in making headlines (Sharia4Belgium site, Lecture shouted down by radical Muslims, Benno Barnard update, Islamists vs. Communists, Sharia4Belgium making threats on behalf of Malika El Aroud, Belgium: New radical group to protest against European oppression)

Do you think that’s smart? Or, as Abu Imran boasts here, does that help their cause? Does it matter?

SNIPPED

The most extreme statements came yesterday from ‘teacher’ Sayef ul Islam, who radically turned against Western society. “Your freedom and democracy belong in hell. And the Catholic Church, what is that? That pope and his gang of pedophiles? The law of God is the law of Muslims. And the terrorists, that’s you. But there will be an end to your secular extremism.”

Islam, he says, offers beauty and protection. The Western values only produce alcoholism, pornography, addiction and crime. “You live like beasts. Like pigs and apes. But we will bring civilization, because our values are superior. Now the discussion is about whether our sisters may cover themselves. One day we’ll say that your women have to cover themselves.”

SNIPPED

Update on Air India Plane Crash: Death Toll at 159; One Survivor “Heard Loud Explosion” - Video 5/22/10

SNIP.

The plane overshot the runway, and one survivor said he heard a “loud explosion” just before the plane hit the ground. He also said he saw a “hole on the left side of the plane.”

SNIPPED

Evaluating Threat of Insect-based Terrorism

May 17, 2010

One way terrorists may use unleash a bioterror attack on U.S. population centers is by introducing pathogen-infected mosquitoes into an area, then let the insects pursue their deadly mission; many of the world’s most dangerous pathogens — Rift Valley, chikungunya fever, or Japanese encephalitis — already are transmitted by arthropods, the animal phylum that includes mosquitoes

snip.

Currently, there is no organized plan at any governmental level to develop the resources for mosquito control that would prevent such an attack.
