The Doomsday Dilemma (O not briefed for months on nukes!!!)
Newsweek ^ | April 3 | John Barry & Evan Thomas

Posted on 04/07/2010 7:47:56 AM PDT by PghBaldy

...According to a knowledgeable source who would not be identified discussing sensitive national-security matters, President Obama wasn't briefed on the U.S. nuclear-strike plan against Russia and China until some months after he had taken office. "He thought it was insane," says the source. (The reason for the delay is unclear; the White House did not respond to repeated inquiries.)...

Even our national security folks know the enemy has infiltrated the White House.

So ... should we feel better or worse that Obama’s finger isn’t (and never was) on the red button?

The Obamaloon thought a plan was “insane”?

Has that idiot looked in the mirror lately?

He’s never encountered a difficult idea in his life - and wouldn’t know what to do if he did.

He is the DEFINITION of a University marshmallow major.

He wouldn’t know what to do with the information if they gave it to him.

Except pass it on to his handlers like any mole would.

Last I checked, we haven’t had a detonation since Japan in 1945, so the insane plan has worked out well for about 65 years.

I'm pretty certain now on what I only suspected when Obama became CIC...

Obama will not retaliate an attack on the US with 'launch on warning'...

Obama will not 'launch on impact' of an enemy's warheads...

Obama simply will not launch...no retaliation...Obama will allow the US to be destroyed.

That’s why he wasn’t worried about a 3 a.m. call...

No. THIS IS NOT TRUE>

I don't care what an “informed” source leaks to the press, for whatever self serving purpose this false story has for obama.

Every US President is fully briefed and fully capable of exercising the actions needed as CinC in case of general war- immediately upon inauguration. His top level intelligence briefings began immediately after the Nov coup/election, to prepare him.

obama knew ( at least, he was briefed) on that funny looking briefcase (aka “football”) carried by his always present military aide.

Now, is obama smart enough to understand and to retain and to RESPECT what he was briefed?

No, imho.

Is he stupid and arrogant enough to blow off what he was briefed about our nuclear posture and his responsibilities, because he figured he'd just vote “present” until he got around to ordering people to change everything in that briefing?

Yes, imho.

Well, why would he defend this country?

Being a Natural Born Citizen might have made a difference, but his loyalties don't lie here.

Any so-called "Commander in Chief" who waits months to find out what the plan is, is criminally incompetent.

The problem is in this case his new plan is nothing short of TREASON!

Maybe he found out the military had targeted the White House?

If the time comes, he’ll be removed. There are more than enough patriots to do it. No way we’ll commit national suicide against the Chinese and Russians (we’ll let Congress do it slowly, and legally, through burdensome laws against business).
