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.

And what possible good could it serve our Republic to have our votes counted in a foreign nation?

No wonder he could tell Russia to wait until after the election. Looks like the tyrant has it sewed up and this primary a joke from start to finish.

About 20-years ago I decided that Britain was no longer the cuntry ut used to be with the huge dilution of mostly Islamic immigrants who did not share the old fashioned British ethics where a given word was as strong as a promise and “noblesse oblige” nobility demands/obliges.

NOW I am getting the same feeling about America, not because of immigrants or encroaching Islamism but because of Obama. Under his administration and his divisive policies of pitting us against each other, the last vestiges of honor where a man’s word was good and a handshake as good as a contract, has evaporated and corruption has turned so many into sewer dwellers.

How is it possible that the Lame Stream Media does not realize that votes being counted by pro-Obama people in Spain will destroy them, too.

Cheating and lying at the level of a street thug is now the order of the day. While the altered audio of the 911 call and now this totally altered photo!

We are no longer living in interesting times but in foul cess pool times, where even the Congressmen and Senators do not offer any objection to this vote count method in a foreign country by foreigners controlled by Obama will not only be exporting our elections but allow the final neck shot execution “coup de grace” to America.

We bog down with candidates and can find no way not to sink into the sludge that our slimy White House administration and political system has poured onto us and sadly into many of our souls. And add a horrible stench to our daily lives.
