What Would Obama Do…
If a Palestinian or Syrian terrorist strikes with a nuke?
“The United States will swear off the development of new generations of nuclear weapons and will not use its existing arsenal to attack nonnuclear states that are in compliance with nonproliferation agreements, the Obama administration said Tuesday.
The new policy “recognizes that the greatest threat to U.S. and global security is no longer a nuclear exchange between nations, but nuclear terrorism by violent extremists and nuclear proliferation to an increasing number of states,” Obama said later in a statement.”
The position “provides a road map” to help achieve Obama’s “long-term goal of a nuclear-free world,” Gates added. It removes a “calculated ambiguity” in past U.S. nuclear policy while making clear that “this is a weapon of last resort,” he said.
Am I the only one that finds this new policy naive and frightening? I know there’s a nutty guy in Iran chuckling over this one.

Obama promised no nuclear retaliation if there was a chemical or biological attack on the U.S.He didn’t mention what the response would be to a nuclear attack.
I would assume even stronger sanctions for a nuclear attack than there would be for bio/chem. Tyrants are shaking in their boots at this moment.
Has Obama been living in a monastery all his life? His naivety is almost like “Chance,the Gardener”.
