Obama: I'm Concerned About a Loose Nuke Being Detonated in Manhattan
Weekly Standard ^ | March 25, 2014 | By Daniel Halper

Romney still wrong about Russia, says Obama.

Speaking at a brief news conference in the Hague, President Obama said he's more worried about a loose nuke being detonated in Manhattan than he is about Russia:

"With respect to Mr. Romney's assertion that Russia is our number one geopolitical foe, the truth of the matter is that America has a whole lot of challenges," said the president.

"Russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neigbors, not out of strength, but out weakness.

"Ukraine has been a country which Russia had enormous influence for decades, since the break-up of the Soviet Union, and we have considerable influence on our neighbors, we generally don't need to invade them in order to have a strong cooperative relationship with them. The fact that Russia felt compelled to go in militarily and laid bear these violations of internationl law indicates less influence not more.

"So my response then continues to be what I believe today, which is: Russia's actions are a problem. They don't pose the number one national security threat to the United States. I continue to be much more concerned when it comes to our security with the prospect of a nuclear weapon going off in Manhattan," said Obama.

I’m more concerned about the two loose cannons in the White House!

This may be the most despicable statement he’s ever made.

Silly minions... our weakness is actually strength. Thanks for the clarifications, Great Leader.

We live in an odd, hybrid Brave New 1984.

I'm just as concerned about one going off near Charleston SC.

Difficult to believe 0bummer is concerned at all regarding the safety of this country with his lack of anything beneficial since taking office.

> That so called loose nuke you are worried about will actually be “loosed” from a Soviet or Red Chinese intercontinental ballistic missile fired from Soviet or Red Chinese territory or a Russian nuke boomer sub. Don’t worry about Omar and his suit case. Worry about Igor or Poo Chung firing off one of their nukes. You have destroyed all of ours, thus we cannot respond.

Obummer in the bunker with nukes headed toward DC, “ you mean they LIED when they said they were reducing their nuclear arsenal?! but the ASSURED me!’”

President Obama said he’s more worried about a loose nuke being detonated in Manhattan than he is about Russia:

...and I’m more worried about a loose socialist in the White House than about Russia.

This is conceptual prep-work by Obama for his own goons instigating exactly this.

Donald Rumsfeld commenting about Obama’s lack of competence in National Security matters: “http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/rumsfeld-us-ties-karzai-gone-downhill-toboggan-under-obama#sthash.tBB4EgFG.dpuf";

snip, RE: Afghanistan: “A trained ape can get a status of forces agreement,” he said. “It does not take a genius. And we have so mismanaged that relationship.”

I’m more worried about the loose un/clear knucklehead in the white house. Petulant is the word.

Obama is a loose nuke. Can’t be trusted, period. Sheesh, what a lame brain thing for him to say. This statement shows what an idiot Obama is. Especially off prompter.

Maybe he will invite the bomber to the White House during one of his luncheons.

So, he can only worry about one geopolitical issue at a time? Aren’t both important enough to merit consideration?

I think of Sid from Tom Sawyer in a slap fight with little Lord Fauntleroy.

Biggest U.S. strategic foreign policy concerns:

1. Chinese domination of Japan and the Pacific rim and its commerce routes.

2. An emergent Russia as Great Power and an growing domination over the Baltic States, the Ukraine, the former Eastern Bloc, western European countries (especially Germany).

3. A consortium of Muslim powers becoming organized, well-managed, and getting their hands on the powers of the mid-sized or large sized nation-state.
