Merkel miffed at Barack Obama and David Cameron 'nuclear war game'
Telegraph UK ^ | March 25, 2014 | By Bruno Waterfield, and Peter Dominiczak in The Hague and Nick Squires in Rome

World leaders played an interactive nuclear war game designed to test their responses to a terrorist atomic "dirty bomb" attack that threatened the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

David Cameron joined Barack Obama, Angela Merkel and Xi Jinping and other world leaders to play a "nukes on the loose" war game to see how they would cope with a terrorist nuclear attack.

The German chancellor grumbled at being asked to play games and take tests with the Prime Minister, US and Chinese presidents around a table with dozens of heads of state at a nuclear summit in The Hague.

Her complaints were overruled because Mr Obama was keen on the idea and in on the surprise.

In the war game, played out by actors in a series of short films, a terrorist attack with an atomic "dirty bomb" takes place in the financial heart of an unnamed but Western metropolis. "It could be the City of London, or Wall Street, Milan or anywhere", summit leaders were told.

As the scenario unfolded, it emerged that the terrorists are from an unidentified global terror network and they have stolen nuclear material from an unidentified country that had poorly secured its radiological and nuclear stockpiles.

Figures. Funny, there’s no Wikipedia entry for her. Scrubbed up, cleaned up. Did see a feature where she attended one Fareed Zakaria’s ‘the post-American world’ speaking engagements. Have to wonder if she even remembers the Cold War.. That and her previous foreign policy adviser capacity to Joe Biden. What a freeing mess.

Merkel Miffed couldn’t help but remind me of the US president in Dr. Strangelove, Merkin Muffley.

Obama doesn’t fancy girls...he is just one of the girls.

I noticed this little gem:

But not everyone was happy about playing the war game with the grumbling led by Mrs Merkel who was unimpressed with role-playing at such a high-powered gathering. Mr Obama, who helped plan the game, overrode the moaning. He had Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, his lead national security adviser on the issue, helpfully by his side.

I believe 0 is incapable of independent thought... Not to overstate the obvious, though.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama sets off a nuke in Manhattan and declares martial law.

Just found this and when I read it at the source, I thought it was satire.

Perfect timing for Obama to pull a stunt like this. /s. Khrushchev misjudged JFK as a weakling at one of these summits and eventually got his arse handed to him. Putin gets even more evidence that the Doofus in Chief is a chump. Wonder if someone hung a “kick me” tag on Obama? Might as well have.

God help us. Please.

Aren’t dirty bombs overrated? I am being serious. Does Obama know they are different than the nukes countries use to defend themselves?

Absolutely! If Merkel was "irked" at it, she & any of the other metrosexuals there should have just told 0dumb0 to f___ off! As much as I despise & hate 0dumb0, I shake my head in disbelief that ANY world leader of any nation, would pay the least semblance of respect to 0dumb0.

I guess that's why I like Putin.... the enemy of 0dumb0 is a friend of mine. Putin's the only one that has some balls to openly mock 0dumb0. I wish the Bibi would do the same thing to 0dumb0.

Don’t matter. One nuke and ballgame over. They will blame it on Patriots or so loose nuts in America. Martial law, suspend elections and fire up the gas chambers.

It’s too bad Angela Merkel merely grumbled at Obama’s war games instead of leaving town and announcing that the G-7 had now become the G-6.
