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.

this post is based on an Email sent to Alan from the THINK ISRAEL editor with a ton of links to their stories.
Seemed logical for Alan to suggest a co-operation as we are non -profit, non-commercial and accept NO advertising and are NOT against Israel in any form or fashion.
http://alanpetersnewsbriefs.blogspot.com/2012/09/trial-anti-mullah-plus-israeli-section.html
Take a look for yourselves and read their links and tell us if they are out of line in providing those links.
What say you all?

Genesis 12:
2. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
And that blessing came through the seed of Abraham, and we are blessed today because Jesus Christ ( Yeshua Messiah ) came as our savoir.
My faith calls me to bless Israel, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
I want to be on the receiving end of God's favor and blessings.
Please God ? I call upon you in the name of our Lord and Savour Jesus Christ ( Yeshua Messiah ) ... the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, El Shaddai, please GOD ! please don't hold those who have cared for Israel, who blessed Israel, who love Israel responsible for those who want to destroy Israel or harm Israel.
We ask you GOD in the name and through the blood of our LORD and Savoir Jesus Christ ( Yeshua Messiah ) that you would differentiate between those who love Israel, protect Israel, who have blessed Israel and those who want to harm Israel.
God I ask you please in the name and through the blood of our Lord and Savoir Jesus Christ that you protect, bless, honor, keep those who have blessed Israel.
God ? El Shaddai ? please ? we make a plea to you !
Don't let this befall on us !
Please keep us, and protect those who are on your side and have blessed Israel !

If only.
The interviewer looks a little, how shall I say it?, skeptical.

Islam needs to take all the dark matter attributed to muhammad out of the koran and then all they would have left would be what they plagiarized from the Bible.
To: Fred Nerks; All
Good point. Including more mention of paradise and less of hell.
If I remember correctly the Islam refers to Paradise some eight times and Hell about 132 times.

"Remember, it was Barack Obama who issued Executive Privilege that has allowed him to hide any White House related information from Congressional investigators. "Some SERIOUS stuff going on right now…"
