Obama’s Nuclear Naïveté
National Review ^ | 3/28/2014 | Mona Charen

Posted on 03/30/2014 10:09:55 AM PDT by rktman

In the Netherlands this week, President Obama confessed a fear: “I continue to be much more concerned, when it comes to our security, with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan.”

It would be reassuring to think that the president worries about this (when he’s not busy filling out his NCAA brackets), except that he is failing to do the most important thing to prevent such a catastrophe.

snoop is a harsh assement

NSA collects metadata to be used to track down terrorists.

that same data is pretty much available to from phone companies on request

Sacajaweau is not a probable interest

I’m sure that’s why Obama maintains open and lawless borders with Mexico, so terrorists and nuclear material can’t make it to Manhattan.

Iran has other ideas. Look for one to appear in an American coastal city.

Politicans in power always want to stay in power. And they will use whatever information and tools are available to remain in power.

Bureucrats in agencies want to stay in their jobs. And they will provide whatever services are “needed” by their masters if they want to remain in their jobs.

The temptation to use information as a weapon is always there. With the tools available today, it only takes mere fractions of a second to search through mountains of data. All you need is the right excuse to justify the request.

We really need to be vigilant. Just saying.

it’s pretty tough to claim you’re concerned when you reduce border agents and attack any governors or sheriffs that dare to keep people from entering the country illegally

he’s a f*cking joke

Washington DC maybe? I heard Ollie North say once, that the Iranians and Norks should be told in no uncertain terms, if a nuc goes off anywhere in the world, both of their countries will become seas of glass. I doubt the Obungler will make anything clear to anyone.

Exactly! First step would be CLOSE THE BORDERS. Second step would be a 10-YEAR FREEZE ON ALL IMMIGRATION.

My bet’s on NYC. Easy to target with a merchant vessel.

Other than that, the economic destruction of America.

Nut-job conspiracy: I think Obama and his cronies plan to crash the economy before he leaves office.

Obama’s absolute incompetence has brought us to the brink of extermination by any of a variety of means. We may not escape the ultimate consequence of his presidency. Obama’s immediate impeachment, trial and removal from office is urgent if we are to survive.
