Someone fires a nuke at us? Will Obama give out the launch codes?

OK. a suitcase nuke explodes in Washington, D.C., New York City, LA, Miami, or Houston.... who do you launch at? Mecca? Iran? China? NK? Venezuela? Russia?

If one were launched from some such place,we'd know where to retaliate, and Obama I believe WOULD launch... He'd be impeached if he didn't, repubs and some dems would demand it.

While I accept that the Military has such procedures, I have no doubt that once sworn in Obama WILL have the legal authority to launch an attack.

“I have no doubt that once sworn in Obama WILL have the legal authority to launch an attack.”

NO President has ever had the “legal authority” to launch just because he wants to and that is my point. He can launch only under certain conditions and Obama will be no different.

The Rooshians. They’re the only ones who know how to make them, so if they lost it, they gotta pay. (As Dr. Strangelove observed, tho’, TELL them about the policy well in advance. That’s the whole point of a Doomsday Deterrent.)

What’s the matter with Tulsa? Makes for a nice display of power, but with trivial losses to the US and mankind as a whole.

I think impeachment would be the least of his worries. Avoiding dismemberment or defenestration would come higher.
