How many Bud Lights did this take?

It does seem that Obama is intent on leaving America undefended.

Not to mention her friends.

Months ago he straddled the fence over Afghanistan and before he committed troops for the “surge”, he insisted on telling the enemy when he was going to quit the battle. But now he’s gone one step further and announced what amounts to a unilateral disarmament on behalf of the United States.

According to Obama, this country will not respond to a chemical or biological or nuclear attack on American soil with its own nuclear capability. Just how stupid is that? So now we’ve told the bad guys what weapons we won’t use. And we’ve told them when we’re not going to fight any more.

What Obama seems to forget, or is determined to forget, is that some 30-odd countries rely on our nuclear umbrella. So does that mean that an attack on those countries will not trigger a massive response by us. Surely therefore, if the answer is no, this will give aid and comfort to the Taliban and Al-Qaida et al and thus encourage them to take their best shot.

If Obama’s goal is to reduce the chances for nuclear war, then he has failed. In fact he has increased it. If the countries who relied on the United States find themselves defenseless do they not owe their citizenry a home-grown defense?

The fact remains that only 2 nuclear weapons have ever been used in “anger”. And that was in 1945. Since then, it may have been only an uneasy peace every once in a while, but it was a peace.

Everyone has long known that the ultimate horror has kept the peace among the few nuclear-capable nations but now, it’s not that neat and tidy. Just factor in Iran, North Korea and their potential customers and the game changes.

I thank G-d that Bibi Netanyahu is in Israel and that they have nuclear weapons.

Somehow, I keep thinking about the woman in Germany at the Berlin Zoo who felt sorry for the polar bears and jumped into their enclosure to apologize for the destruction of their natural habitat by the developed nations. With one swipe of its massive paw, a big male killed her.

It seems that alcohol may have been involved.

What’s Obama’s excuse?
