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.)...

His lousy agreement with Russia isn’t flying (Russia can back out any time) so he has come up with this horsesh*t as a justification to do what he did (enter into the agreement). He will use it to also make a similarly worthless agreement with the Chicoms.

but you will never hear him be asked about it or any type of spontaneous response because like all dictators he has refused to give public press conferences he only deals with pre-staged sit downs where he has reviewed the questions up front. Pravda happily goes along welcome to the United Socialist States of America USSA.

I worry about the Communist-in-Chief being conveniently out of the country with his family when an attack on the US occurs...

Remember when Clinton lost his launch authorization code card for 5 months?

The deaths perpetrated by rogue governments across the planet during the 20th Century, may look small when compared to what may lay ahead.

And Il Douche’ is facilitating the events, if someone is inclined to take advantage of it.

By 2002, President George W. Bush was signing off on a document containing his administration's Nuclear Posture Review, an -analysis of how America's nuclear arms might be used. Bush scribbled on the cover, "But why do we still have to have so many?"

Fewer weapons make the world more dangerous. When we have few enough weapons that an enemy can wipe out our arsenal in a first strike then nuclear war becomes winnable. Our arsenal must be large enough that an enemy has to fear the repercussion of an attack.

Agreed. Here is a question - can the President order the "football" no long tag along with him? Does he have that power as CinC?

A couple of previous Dem presidents left it behind to go on booty calls

Not saying who.

The KGB leader in the Kremlin must get a kick every time Obama speaks about nuclear disarmament.

The Kremlin wrote the arms reduction treaty Obama just signed. He was too lazy to work on it himself, so he simply voted ‘present’ and allowed Russia to formulate our disarmament policy for us.

Did you notice how NewsWeak tried to give him cover by invoking republican presidents who also wanted nuke disarmament? They failed to mention those past presidents and O aren’t even in the same intellectual universe.

They also didn't say that the proposals weren't for unilateral disarmament, like 0bamao, they included the other guys disarming too!

LOL, it gives the distinct impression he’s WAY out of the loop and in real life he’s not so bright.

Out of the loop and way out of his depth. He brings to mind a junior high football coach trying to coach the Super Bowl.

I’m glad that the muslim wasn’t briefed. Let the decisions be made by people who have America in their best interest.

Yet the Libs always relish in accusing the Republicans of not being aware.

Correct.. This is what Biden meant when he basically said.. “We’ll be attacked and you won’t like what we do (don’t do) about it”
