Obama said "...he would not use nuclear weapons in any circumstance to fight terrorism..."
That is just stupid. It has been long standing policy to fight WMD with WMD - ie. respond in kind, MAD, etc. Saying you won't is inviting devastating attack with little potential consequence for the attacker. The US won't use chemical or biologics, so our retaliation to a WMD strike has to be nuclear. Saying you won't under any circumstances is criminally idiotic.
But then Clinton gets stupid too, and comes up with: "Presidents should be very careful at all times in discussing the use or non-use of nuclear weapons. ... I don't believe that any president should make any blanket statements with respect to the use or non-use of nuclear weapons,"
Well, don't you sound presidential...not! Another long standing policy of the US is the "No first use" principle in regards to nuclear weapons. Basically a pledge to the then USSR that we would not strike first. Very much a blanket statement.
These 'rats... Do they have any education or appreciation for history, strategy (other than campaign/smear), or just plain common sense?
Obama! Sounds like a pancake batter.
