The Doomsday Dilemma (O not briefed for months on nukes!!!)
Newsweek ^ | April 3 | John Barry & Evan Thomas

Posted on 04/07/2010 7:47:56 AM PDT by PghBaldy

...According to a knowledgeable source who would not be identified discussing sensitive national-security matters, President Obama wasn't briefed on the U.S. nuclear-strike plan against Russia and China until some months after he had taken office. "He thought it was insane," says the source. (The reason for the delay is unclear; the White House did not respond to repeated inquiries.)...

I call BS!!!

One of the FIRST briefings a President ELECT is given is on the state of national security, current policy and expected status changes.

I call BS on this story as cover for President For Life, Barrack Hussein Odumbo as he tries to kiss and make up with the anti-American whackjobs in his base who are frustrated with no “public option” in the Odumbocare bill.

People always say China and Russia wouldn’t dare hit us.. They need us.. blah blah blah.. Back in 2005 when they were having their little ‘war games’ together I said they were up to no good.. Denial will be our undoing.. Just look at the CIC the useful idiots/fifth column got elected.

Russia lacks the capacity for more than a raid. China has no need to attack us.

Neither would benefit from an attack

Being a Natural Born Citizen might have made a difference, but his loyalties don't lie here.

Maybe he was born an American, maybe he wasn't.

He certainly wasn't raised an American.

His loyalties lie with those who paved his path to power.

And their loyalties most assuredly do NOT lie with the United States.

The Emperor says no nuke response to a large scale bio/chem/cyber attack on the US. Now we find out he thinks replying to a nuke attack by Russia or China, or both, is insane. We are so screwed.

"I'm pretty certain now on what I only suspected when Obama became CIC...

Obama will not retaliate an attack on the US with 'launch on warning'...

Obama will not 'launch on impact' of an enemy's warheads...

Obama simply will not launch...no retaliation...Obama will allow the US to be destroyed."

There are USAF generals who can order retaliation without the alien president's say so. It's a doomsday option in case the command authority in Washington is destroyed. (OR in case our alien president decides to let the country be destroyed.)

Evan Thomas, who co-authored this piece for Newsweek, is the Socialist grandson of Norman Thomas, the perennial Socialist candidate for President. Simply put, he is not believable as he would do anything to further the Socialist cause and the Obama presidency.

It is very disturbing. We have the equivalent of a dumb rebellious teenager as POTUS.

I so hope that is thoroughly accurate.

"I so hope that is thoroughly accurate."

America has planes called "Looking Glass" planes with the commanding general on board that has the "duty" for that week or month. These flying command posts have authority and capability to launch our silo based ICBMS if the command authority in Washington cannot or "refuses to respond". (Or if a the missile crew won't launch.) They used to fly 24/7 during the cold war days. Now, to save money, they are on standby alert, flying occasionally for training, alerts or some crisis.
