WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday he would not use nuclear weapons «in any circumstance. «I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance,» Obama said, with a pause, «involving civilians.» Then he quickly added, «Let me scratch that. There's been no discussion of nuclear weapons. That's not on the table.

Didn’t George McGovern say the same thing in 1972?
He just disqualified himself for serious contention to be the president.
You are done B. Hussein Obama. You just Swift-Boated yourself.
Oh yeah - I’m mature enough and have enough experience to be President. Put me in charge.
I think Obama should first consult with Castro and Chevez before making any rash decisions on this topic.
So I guess there’ll be no nuclear retaliation against Pakistan when we invade and they go nuclear. (I wonder if Obama even knows that Pakistan has nukes?)
Sounds like that little ditty from Dukakis, “What would you do if your wife was raped and or killed?
Would the death sentence then be appropriate?
“Well, um, No.
Next candidate.
Not ready for prime time. Ever.
Unbelievable. The guy just writes off a half-century of deterrence with a single statement. So much for that candidacy. I don’t think Hillary! would touch him with a ten foot pole even as a VP nod (not that she would have anyway).
God help us all if this buffoon becomes the VP or C-in-C!!!
Talk about a perfect illustration of how the far left has taken over the RATS. This moron gave the knee-jerk far left answer to please the Kos crowd, then realized what a stupid thing he said and tried to take it back. Too late, Obama, the whole world saw you crap[ in your mess kit.
I’d almost rather Hillary won than Obama. He’s a loon.
I recently took that politcial quiz that determines what candidate you are most likely to support based on issues.
Biden came in the closest of all Dems with a -7
"what are we supposed to do? use harsh language?"
During WWII and towards the end, we had to break the will of the people in Japan and Germany to fight. It got to the point that we couldn’t determine who was military and civilian. Consquently, the fire bombing that killed many more than the A bombs in Japan. This broke the will of the people to fight. Obama is a fool and just doesn’t get it. He shouldn’t even be allowed to visit the Oval Office, let alone occupy it.
Take off and refuse to nuke them from orbit.
Dang. I was hoping he’d give Hillary a run for her money in the Primaries. Now, she’ll win in a walk, and save all that cash for the general.
Rats.
He’s “articulate”.
Hillary and Bill are inelligible for another term as co-presidents. Constitutional crisis.
