#2 YAHOO/OTHER > OBAMA: NUCLEAR TERRORISM [+ NucProliferation] THE TOP THREAT TO US.

Again, IMO Year 2012 > PAN-ISLAMIST NUCLEARIZATION > IRAN declares it has Nukes.

* Also IMO, POST-2012 ASAP ATAP > RADICAL ISLAM, MILTERRS declare they now possess NUKES = ADVANCED WMDS = NBC-CBRN(E)? WEAPS/MILTECHS.

IMO the Islamists can't wait for Year 2020 for the USA to improve + deploy EFFECTIVE RELIABLE GMD-TMD IN MIDEAST + AROUND THE WORLD.

#3 New B.O. policy limits US use of nuclear arms.

Seems like we're already kinda stingy with em' to me. Do we really need another policy on that?

#9 "Devastating Conventional Retaliation" is no credible deterrent. There was no such retaliation after 9/11. It won't happen now or in the future even in case a chemical attack kills a couple of thousand Americans or Europeans, the feelings of enemy civilians could be hurt after all.

NATO 1949-2010 RIP

There's another aspect to this:

Obama will now pressure Israel to forswear nuclear retaliation in case of an attack with biological or chemical weapons by Syria/Hezbollah/Iran.

#11 So would BO tell his Secret Service to go home or recommend they be reassigned since they are not needed anymore? I'm sure would-be assassins would say: "O.K. I'm going to change my ways; I've seen the light. Obama has inspired me."

#12 Meanwhile in related domestic disarmament news:

The United Nations and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are moving forward with their plan to confiscate your guns.

The United States joined 152 other countries in support of the Arms Trade Treaty Resolution, which establishes the dates for the 2012 UN conference intended to attack American sovereignty by stripping Americans of the right to keep and bear arms.

Former United Nations ambassador John Bolton has cautioned gun owners about the Arms Trade Treaty and says the UN is trying to act as though this is really just a treaty about international arms trade between nation states, but theres no doubt that the real agenda here is domestic firearms control.

#14 Policy on this means nothing. This is propaganda and not worth the ink it takes to print it. Two second before pulling thetriggeron a nuke, the pres can have a policy change. Afterall, policy is not law, and the pres giving policy to control only his actions in crisis is dumb.

Our old friend Play4Keeps. The man is not only a troll, he apparently has the vocabulary of a not very bright kindergartner.
