Obama amputates our nuclear arms
By: Charles Krauthammer
...snippet...
Under President Obama’s new policy, however, if the state that has just attacked us with biological or chemical weapons is “in compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty,” explained Gates, then “the U.S. pledges not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against it.”
Imagine the scenario: Hundreds of thousands are lying dead in the streets of Boston after a massive anthrax or nerve gas attack. The president immediately calls in the lawyers to determine whether the attacking state is in compliance with the NPT. If it turns out that the attacker is up-to-date with its latest IAEA inspections, well, it gets immunity from nuclear retaliation. (Our response is then restricted to bullets, bombs and other conventional munitions.)
However, if the lawyers tell the president that the attacking state is NPT noncompliant, we are free to blow the bastards to nuclear kingdom come.
This is quite insane. It’s like saying that if a terrorist deliberately uses his car to mow down a hundred people waiting at a bus stop, the decision as to whether he gets hanged or 100 hours of community service hinges entirely on whether his car had passed emissions inspections.
Apart from being morally bizarre, the Obama policy is strategically loopy. Does anyone believe that North Korea or Iran will be more persuaded to abjure nuclear weapons because they could then carry out a biological or chemical attack on the United States without fear of nuclear retaliation?
The naivete is stunning.

Al-Qaeda vs. Cartoons
The new Al-Qaeda magazine ‘Inspire’ includes a death threat against various people who made their mark in recent years in the Islam in Europe debate.
Almost all of them are European, and not one of them is on the list for anti-Islam laws.
This article was prepared by the Islam in Europe blog - islamineurope.blogspot.com
Who did make the list?
Lars Vilks and Ulf Johannson (Sweden, cartoonist and editor who published Muhammed cartoon)
Kurt Westergaard, Flemming Rose, Carsten Juste (Denmark, cartoonist and editors who published Muhammad cartoon)
Ayaan Hirsi Ali (Netherlands/US, ‘Submission’)
Geert Wilders (Netherlands, ‘Fitna’)
Salman Rushdie (UK, ‘The Satanic Verses’)
Molly Norris (US, ‘Everybody Draw Mohammed Day’)
(photo)
Two Dutch politicians made the list: Geert Wilders and (former MP) Ayaan Hirsi Ali, but they got on that list for making movies, not laws.
Who is not the list? The European far-right, for example. People who publicly express anti-Muslim sentiments. European politicians who pushed for laws against burkas, veils and minarets.
This can serve as a notice to all European politicians. According to al-Qaeda, a cartoon depicting Muhammad is much worse than a law banning burkas or minarets. And on the other hand, if you want instant notoriety in terrorist circles, all you really need to do is to be European and draw a cartoon or make a movie and you might soon find yourself facing the man with the Golden Gun.

The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist

that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how
many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.

Somali terror suspects free in Minnesota

Only two of more than 20 Muslims from Minnesota charged with supporting
Islamic, al-Qaeda linked terrorists in Somalia are in custody. The others
have been let go or are at large. Looking at the charges, it’s more like
livin’ large. Who among us would be walking the streets with charges of
providing material support to al-Qaeda-linked terrorists, lying to the FBI,
lying to a grand jury, conspiracy to kill, maim, or injure?

al-Shabab.
Note the headline and first sentence - no mention of Islam, jihad, Muslim or
the mosques that helped recruit these “men.” Now we’ll skip to an equally
tidy AP headline and lengthy, sympathetic story devoid of the terms Muslim,
jihad, or Islam, from the Kansas City Star (home to a large and growing

All except one of the men who are in Minnesota were deemed fit for release
with some conditions. For instance, Salah Osman Ahmed and Abdifatah Yusuf

to the point where they are now at family homes and no longer on electronic
monitoring.

http://projects.washingtonpost.com/top-secret-america/articles/
— Comment: bottom-line - there is no real “news” here. For many years, I have written about the monofocus of who, what, where, and when tactics, with minimal to no focus on the strategic issue of WHY. America has tried to spend and build its way out of dealing with “why.” But “why” will not go away. This is the very reason for the creation of the human rights group Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) - to have a way to debate “why” from a shared human rights perspective
— It is a tragedy that our media has not spent the effort and resources to addressing the issues of “why,” rather than analysis about who all the tacticians are. They simply add to monofocus on tactics that is at the heart of the problem.

Al-Awlaki was right about Obama, however.

Bin Laden Son Says U.S. May Agree to Let in Family
July 19, 2010, 11:54 AM EDT
(Updates with Omar bin Laden saying none of his brothers accused of
terrorism in third paragraph.)
July 19 (Bloomberg) — A son of Osama bin Laden said about 20 members of his
family stranded in Iran are seeking sanctuary in a third country and that
the U.S. may agree to accept them.
Omar bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader’s fourth son, said in an interview with
Al Arabiya television that Iran is refusing to allow his relatives to go to
Saudi Arabia. Shiite Muslim- dominated Iran is a regional rival of
Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia. Al-Qaeda, a Sunni group, is hostile to Iran.
“The Americans offered to help them out of Iran and even hinted at the
possibility of receiving them in the U.S.,” he said in the interview, which
was aired late yesterday and posted on the Dubai-based channel’s website.
Omar bin Laden said none of his brothers has been accused of terrorism by
the U.S. or any other country.
