Obama Is No MADman

Obama Is No MADman

We don’t hear much about MAD anymore, except in the context of Mad magazine, which makes more sense every day when compared with the Obama administration.

For the younguns out there, MAD was the acronym for the Cold War policy of mutually assured destruction which was the single most effective way the U.S.S.R. and the United States had to keep Moscow and Washington from becoming molten puddle s of radioactive rubble.

In essence, the MAD strategy meant that if they hit us they could be assured that the attack or attacks would be reciprocated in kind and both nations would in large part be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust.

It was a sick, Strangelovian policy that assumed a minimal level of sanity on both sides and enjoyed the distinction of working for forty+ years. There were countless threats and nuke rattlings, most emanating from the U.S.S.R., but even though the adversaries came close a few times, notably in 1961 with the Cuban Missile Crisis, no nuclear exchange ever occurred.

President Feelgood seems to think that if a nuclear war never happened in the past it could never happen in the future, just as September 11th, 2001 could never happen.

Accordingly. “President Obama said Monday . . .

USING "DIRECT FORCE" IN WWIII

USING “DIRECT FORCE” IN WORLD WAR III

A bipartisan commission has recommended, since all such commissions can ever really do is recommend, that “the incoming Obama administration . . . must not rule out the use of ‘direct force’ – military action – against Iran and North Korea, if diplomatic negotiations fail to stop their nuclear weapons programs”: http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=40263.

Said commission, headed by former senator Bob Graham (D-FL), and named with the presumptuous, wide-ranging title, “The Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) Proliferation and Terrorism,” is an outgrowth and stepchild of the 9/11 Commission, another teats-on-a-bull waste of time and taxpayer money.

Warning that “the greatest danger of another catastrophic attack in the United States will materialize if the world’s most dangerous terrorists acquire the world’s most dangerous weapons,” is tantamount to warning that venomous snakes will eventually emerge from their shells.

The CPWMDPT group’s report was called, “World At Risk,” a heady appellation if there ever was one and reminiscent of “The World At War” television series. The latter title, which referred to World War II, could just as easily be applied to our current “risk” since we are in fact at war today as much as we were in the 1940’s. When it’s over, future historians will refer to it as the Third World War.

The most significant difference is that Americans and our leaders today refuse to accept that reality. We prefer to appoint investigative commissions, which sure beats war mobilization.

Also, to focus on Iran and North Korea, to even suggest that those rogue nations are the primary threats to our interests and therefore we should preemptively those threats, represents subterfuge and disingenuousness of the worst kind.

With proven maniacs in charge, Kim Jong-Il of the Democratic People’s of North Korea (DPRK), , and Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Iran’s helm, , not much that is positive can be gained by negotiations, as President Clinton discovered and still refuses to admit. . . .
