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.

the badly spelled “couirt” one above works. As it happens, if you clicked on the Home Page option it still took you to this article, still at the tope of the Home page.

Up is down in this administration. The only terrorists are typical white Christian conservatives.

Please spread this “activism” suggestion to everyone you know. Too little effort is being made to “dissuade” the often “regretful idiots” to reduce their influence on the elections. This “soft-sell” reverse activity can help almost as much as promoting our favorite candidates.

It’s a Neighborhood/Community Organizer type of action that can be very effective. And if handled right NOT confrontational just a commiseration. You do not need to even know the people with whom you start the chats.

Conversations in Supermarkets, school children pick-ups or similar places or any other places you meet strangers can be started “innocuously” with “gosh life is hard these days” (sigh) and then “hoping that those who voted for Obama, will not make the same mistake this time around”.

Even if you have to pretend you are one of those who did vote for him and look “sadly” at what happened to you and your family.

Restrain heavy politics, no intense attack on the White house. Push their regret emotion so many will have found, NOT anti-administration rhetoric or accusations against the chat companion that will meet defensive reaction. Get the idea?

“Poor me, poor us”! This is a “psy-ops” approach that if all of us expand and develop with our individual, we can leave a strong effect and weaken those who voted for hoe and change but now have doubts - for our fairly simple effort.

Please DO NOT promote your favorite candidate!!!!

If asked for whom they should vote, try “why not give the Republicans a try - they cannot be any worse. Maybe because their own families are suffering and they are apparently not the ones asking for all the free stuff they will do it better”.

“So my family (selfishly go with your own first, makes you more credible) and yours will live better.
