Anyone contemplating a CBW attack on the US had
better think about the disconnect between what
Obama says and what Obama does.

I wonder what Barry is going to make obsolete next...the wheel?

I think I shall re-read 'The Three Conjectures' by Richard Fernandez at the Belmont Club. This is the kind of conversation adults have when they are in charge.

It is a rather silly thing to say since it will be ignored by whoever happens to be in charge at the time of such attack.

The countdown has already begun. Plan on a chemical or bio attack before this disaster of a president is unceremoniously booted from office.

Obama said nothing!

It's just more jibberish.

during the meanwhile. Putin sells to Chavez

while Obama sleeps.

The Washington Cartoon continues.
Whats next? Federally mandated outhouses, with the end of toilets for a greener America. This guy is nuts. Nuclear war heads only last seven years before they have to be replaced.
He just figures to let them die out?
Seriously there won't be an America left after this guy.

Yes, a firm commitment to a tepid response with weak weapons is much less ambiguous than the threat of being open to the possibility of delivering annihilation.

I'd give Iran and North Korea 48 hours to surrender unconditionally before wiping out all life within their borders. Is that more or less ambiguous? Am I overplaying my hand here?

Liberals have way more anger bottled up in them than typical conservatives.

If you can make one liberal really angry, they turn into out of control monsters, sort of like hulk.

I'm almost certain a pissed off Obama after a 9/11 style attack would send more/bigger bombs than Bush did.

Isn't it bad policy to broadcast your strategy to the enemy? I don't understand what he was saying, but maybe someone else does?

It basically sounds like Obama is saying he will fight fire, with fire regarding Iran.

Large scale use of conventional weapons still can be a viable response in the case of other forms of attack (the quick takedown of Iraq as an example.) And besides, we don't have to "bomb them back into the Stone Age" (per Curtis LeMay's stance on Vietnam), as they basically live in that mindset already.

But what I want to know, is will he use nuclear retribution/revenge if allies (specifically Israel) are attacked?

In keeping with the TPOTUS continuing lies regarding everything he has said so far, it is my hope (I can't believe I still use that word "hope") that this is just more crap that he doesn't mean at all.

Al,

What allies? Think he'll have any left in the next year?

If/when Iran has nukes, they won't be crazy enough to launch them with missiles. They know this will invite lethal retaliation. Rather, they'll deliver them stealth-like, with cargo container or similar. You can bet the Israelis are fully aware of that.

Obama refusal to deal with the issue all but guarantees Israel will have to do the work themselves, just as they did in Iraq in 1981 and in Syria in 2007.

Obama described his policy as part of a broader effort to edge the world toward making nuclear weapons obsolete, and to create incentives for countries to give up any nuclear ambitions.

Obama doesn't seem to understand the word "obsolete" either.
Nuclear weapons are the epitome of martial weapons.
The only way to make them obsolete is either for the U.S. to develop a weapon that surpasses nuclear weapons in power and delivery or for an enemy nation to do so.

There is no way to verify that all nations and factions have given up all of their nuclear weapons and delivery systems.
The world is too big of a place and nobody knows for sure who has what down to the last atom bomb and rocket or other delivery system.

Obama may think he can create incentives for countries to give up any nuclear ambitions but until a rogue nation uses a couple of nuclear weapons and proves again that any incentives can still be accepted without the reciprocal surrender of those nuclear ambitions Obama won't learn the lesson that should already have been learned from North Korea whose has already done just that.

It isn't the carrot that curbs the ambitions, it's the big stick.

We're already giving away so many carrots that the only way to give enemy states MORE carrots would be to literally carpet bomb them with actual carrots.

I think the American people will let Obama take the train over the cliff, but they will disconnect the leader and hit the brakes. I just can't see this scenario happening: maybe call me an optimist:

Next up in the Big O's magic show he will be searching hard for votes in the Nov elections since he knee capped the anti war wackos by sending in 30K troops to Poppy Land, and he also knee capped the enviro wack jobs by allowing off shore drilling (not extraction mind you) he will be looking hard - OH LOOK!!! if we legalize all these illegal immigrants and give them health care it's a slam dunk!!!

Then for his next trick he will announce he solved global warming by shutting down what's left of US industrial capacity with his Al Gore Inspired Cap and Trade Carbon Market and then uber tax all goods coming to the US effectively causing an all out trade war if not World War III.

Naivete and opportunism = fire and gasoline.

The fun never ends.

Althe thawing fish,good to see you're getting warmer. :)

Especially a pathological narcisist....who thought/realized HE was the target.

Actually Iran will not have such an option as missile delivery. Such requires miniturization (secrets closely guarded) which took many years for even the US and USSR to figure out. This was the main reason the Soviets designed/deployed such huge boosters.
Iran may be limited to using a cargo container for perhaps a decade.
Also the IDF is very, very wary of suspicious or unscheduled airliners

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if a pissed off Obama has fantasized about dropping a few daisy cutters on tea partiers, Palin, Limbaugh, etc. Yeah, he's mad - and he knows who the real enemies are.

Whatever happened to "They bring a knife, we bring a gun"? Oh yeah, I forgot. That's what you do to your domestic political enemies, like Republicans and Tea Partiers---the real enemies of the US.

Now does it seem more reasonable to believe that one of his goals is to make it illegal for the US to go to war in any way resembling modern warfare?

With a number of these latest moves of his, including this one, his treatment of Israel vis-a-vis "settlements" in East Jerusalem, his treatment of Netanyahu at the White House, and the charade that sanctions are going to work against Iran, I speculate that he is "laying the predicate" for selling Israel down the river when they go after Iran's nukes.

Know what I love?
I'd like to hear more from Ed Begley jr.

He REALLY freaks out when you point out the illogicity of his point of view. There was a global warming meltdown of his a couple months back, great theatre. The bong crowd at its finest!

He's frickin hillarious. O's getting, well.... passe, er boring.

Is there a countdown clock to the moment Obama is out of office? If not, we need one.

It might be a symbolic gesture to help Obama build international political clout to help him advocate nuclear disarmament. Whatever he can do to get countries like Pakistan to disarm, I support.

This is simply a unilateral declaration of peace. It's always worked before,so there's no reason to think it won't this time.If you're nice, your enemy will be nice too.

I don't think we have to fear attacks for a few days, as all our enemies will be celebrating the new order.

@ djb, touche!
@ Louise, thanks for the warm regards.

Obama is doing what he does best. Postulating on something that will make him look good but does not actually do anything. As with his "Stand on nuclear weapons" in Iran. He will not follow what he states the first time. He only talks to make himself sound like an intellect. Like he is informed and can think like a smart person. As with his pass decisions, if anyone uses a bio or nuclear weapon on the U.S. anywhere in the world. He still will not attack. The man is a wimp. His wife bitch slaps him once and he changes his mind.
I can only hope that he does not completely destroy the U.S. before we can vote him out. By the way, I predict their will be a nuclear explosion in the middle east by 2015. Where? Not sure but there will be one.

Freud would have asked:
What does Obama really want?

Forgive me for using a borrowed quote twice in a week: "He (Obama) speaks with sweet but empty words." - Blogger on Obama's visit to China.
