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.

PLANE DANGEROUS: Laser incidents worry aviation officials

WASHINGTON - Federal Aviation Administration officials are worried about a substantial increase in the number of people pointing lasers at aircraft cockpits, saying the intense light can distract and temporarily blind pilots and has caused some to relinquish control to their co-pilots or abort landings.

This year, there have been more than 2,200 incidents reported to the Federal Aviation Administration, up from fewer than 300 in 2005. California, Texas and Florida have recorded the most, but the problem is widespread across the country.....(snip)

Dying Birds and Fish Deaths Becomes Global
Posted by Erin on January 6, 2011 in News, U.S. | 9 Comments

The incidents involving the deaths of birds and fish in Arkansas and Louisiana have become a global phenomenon, affecting wildlife in Europe, South America and New Zealand. Reports continue to stream in of mass deaths all over the globe, increasing the conspiracy theory chatter as limited other reasonable explanations are offered. On Wednesday, more than 40,000 dead velvet swimming crabs have appeared on the Thanet shoreline in England, along with starfish, lobsters, and sponges. Tony Child, Thanet Coast Project manager, told the Star that the same thing happened two and five years ago. He suspects that the cold temperatures are to blame. In Sweden, about 50-100 birds were found dead on a highway on Tuesday. Scientists are not sure what killed the jackdaws yet. One local veterinarian weighed in on the debate. “Our main theory is that the birds were scared away because of the fireworks and landed on the road, but couldn’t fly away from the stress and were hit by a car,” Robert Horst told the Swedish site The Local. He added that they will continue to look into other theories and are performing an autopsy on the birds.

In Brazil, a hundred tons of dead fish have turned up on the coast of Paraná since last Thursday. The fish included sardine, croaker and catfish. “We will wait to see what happened, but speculations suggest that fish may have died due to an environmental imbalance, dropping a fishing boat or leakage of chemicals,” Captain Edson Oliveira Avila, regional coordinator of Civil Defense in the Paraná region, told Paraná-Online.

The Baltimore Sun is reporting that an estimated 2 million fish were found dead in the Chesapeake Bay, mostly adult spot with some juvenile croakers in the mix. Maryland Department of the Environment spokesperson Dawn Stoltzfus says “cold-water stress” is believed to be the culprit.In New Zealand, hundreds of dead snapper washed up on Coromandel Peninsula beaches, many found with their eyes missing, The New Zealand Herald reports. A Department of Conservation official allegedly claims the fish were starving due to weather conditions. That doesn’t really explain the missing eyes, though.

Thanks for the pings.
Boy, it seems like anytime I have a few minutes to freep, FR is down or slow as molasses.

Hoping to be back on a somewhat regular basis, soon.

[WestCoastGal]

I understand about not having much time to check and the problems here on FR. The slow load is torture......I’ve almost given up.

It is the next horror: you will weep...DEATH TO AMERICA
It is the next horror: you will weep...DEATH TO AMERICA

The coming days..

You’ll see what will happen..

Al Qaeda in the Arabic Peninsula..

Can anyone blame Al Qaeda for what it will do the coming days..

I think that it can not be blamed for what it will do to the Americans the coming days..

Do you know why?

Al Qaeda sent to them the first plane carrying the hero Umar Al Farooq, may Allah release him..

America disbursed nearly 40 billion dollars because they were stricken with fear by this blessed operation, and they continued in their arrogance and coercion and did not respond to the demands of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula..

Then Al Qaeda sent them three air planes.. The heroes succeeded in blowing one of them, and with the two air planes, the prudence of the retarded American idiots, will be clear to the whole world, God willing, and this last operation didn’t cost the heroes money..

And yet America is still arrogant, coercive and stupid..

Then the media network of Al Malahem launched the third Inspire magazine, wherein the brothers declared that they would not leave the U.S. alone until it is economically destroyed..

All this and still the Americans persist in stupidity and they do not know what will happen to them in the coming days..

Dear Americans, do you know what will happen to you in the coming days..

It’s something scary..
It’s something dangerous..
It is something that your retarded intellect can not imagine..
It is terror, destruction and blood and body parts..
It is terrifying..
And even after this, you still wouldn’t have paid for all your crimes..

You are still insisting in killing our children and our women!
You are still insisting in plundering our wealth!
You are still insisting in supporting Israel in killing our brothers and taking our land!
You are still insisting in supporting the corrupt regimes in our country!

Then wait for what will happen to you the coming days.

It is atrocious and most heinous than you can ever imagine.
And know that no one will blame us for what the Mujahideen will do to you, God willing, because we warned you repeatedly, but you were negligent of our warnings..
So therefore wait..

What’s coming is more wretched and more bitter.

*******

From the words of the Shaykh, the Lion, the Mujahid Osama bin Laden, may God protect him:

“The politicians at the White House engaged in injustice on us and continue to support the Israelis, especially in the occupation of our land of Palestine, and they think that America from behind the ocean is safe from the wrath of the oppressed people, till the reaction was explosive in your home land on the eleventh - by grace of Allah - and the lucky one is he who learns from others (mistakes). And it is but fair to trade the same currency and war is a long way, and days turn.
Peace be upon those who follow the true guidance.”

**

In the name of Allah, the most Passionate the most Merciful.
From Osama to Obama.
Peace upon those who follow guidance .. Forth:

“My peace be on those who follow the light of guidance. If our messages to you could be carried by words we wouldn’t have done that by planes.
The message I want to convey to you through the plane of hero Umar Al Farooq, reaffirms a previous message that the heros of 9/11 conveyed to you and it was repeated frequently.The message is that America will never dream of living in peace unless we live it in Palestine. It is unfair that you enjoy a safe life while our brothers in Gaza suffer greatly therefore with Allah’s will our attacks on you will continue as long as you continue to support Israel.”

Shaykh Osama bin Laden (may Allah protect him): “America must not dream and will not even dream a dream of security, if we don’t live it as a reality in Palestine and in the land of the Haramain and in all muslim countries by the will of Allah
