Barack Obama to limit nuke strikes
The Australian ^ | April 7, 2010 | Brad Norington

Posted on 04/06/2010 7:43:56 AM PDT by myknowledge

BARACK Obama has departed from previously accepted policy by declaring the US would not use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states that adhered to an international treaty agreement - even if they launched attacks using biological or chemical weapons.

The President's decision to limit the potential use of US nuclear weapons is included in a revamped strategy to be issued today.

Mr Obama said he would make an exception for "outliers like Iran and North Korea" that had violated or renounced the main anti-nuclear proliferation treaty.

He also reserved the US right to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike, steering away from a blanket statement that the US would never be the first to use nuclear weapons.

"...the US would not use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states that adhered to an international treaty agreement - even if they launched attacks using biological or chemical weapons."

But not to worry, he will give them a very stern talking to and put them in timeout.

Does anyone else feel like our President is painting a bullseye on every American?

If only! I suspect he'd side with the attackers and blame us for antagonizing them into doing it in the first place.

I’m just getting more and more depressed as the days go by. Maybe I shouldn’t log onto Free Republic anymore.

Well he did say that if the poop hits the fan, he would side with the muslims. He might have been telling the truth on that one.

Cheer up!! Obama is incapable of telling the truth. It is now much more likely that we’ll find ourselves nuking somebody before his term is up.

Apparently, he has forgotten Washington’s words of widsom to us all.

This is what happens when we elect a teacher who likes to hear himself talk! Will not hear good reason! He believes all that claptrap that has no place in realty. Delusional person!

Reminds me of Revelation 18. Thanks to the globalist elite, their frontman Obama has helped deliver a deathblow to the once-great United States.

Obama’s not delusional, he’s following his marching orders from his globalist elite handlers.
