When is a nuclear weapons of mass destruction not politically destabilizing?
When nuclear weapons of mass destruction is in the hands of the chosen people,
then it is the chosens’ weapons of mass destruction.
The facts are that almost any use of nuclear weapons in that small part of the

on. The winds blow from east to west. A Holy Land indeed. Only mad men would
tell you there is a ‘good’ use for a weapon that kills the children of the weapon
wielder and the children of the targeted at almost the same rates, in due time.

Another example of Obama being the classic lawyer and media star, this will be good for a few, inspiring headlines and then in a few months reality will set in again.

While I agree that we will continue to give Israel a pass since they would never willingly give up their nuclear weapons willingly at least Pres. Obama was genuine in backing down from placing the missile ‘defense’ shield in Poland. Shrub wanted to reignite the cold war with Russia so we would have to spend trillions modernizing our nuclear arsenal once Russia began to reactivate theirs in responce to the ‘shield’ on the door step.

Report this“nuclear terrorism.” Right. Is this to include India? Pakistan? Israel? South Africa?
Smoke and mirrors with a touch of hypocrisy on a grand scale.

Obama’s political trademark appears to be inspiring duplicity. As he well knows, US policy is the greatest instrument of the spread of nuclear weapons. By threatening the invasion of small couontries, it encourages them to obtain nuclear weapons to deter the threat. And the US nuclear arsenal is by far the deadliest in the world. The pentagon is constantly thinking of ways to blur the distinction between nuclear weapons and conventional weapons.
Obama’s policy, contining Bush’s, is to prevent adveraries from getting nucluer weapons while spreading them to their allies, notably Israel. Although this largely deceives the American people, it does not deceive the world’s people. the increasingly undeerstand the threat from the US homicdal plutcoracy. And Obama’s inspiring duplicity.
