Ay-Pee. Here's the teaser. Rest at link.
"The single biggest threat to U.S. security, both short-term, medium-term and long-term, would be the possibility of a terrorist organization obtaining a nuclear weapon," Obama said. "This is something that could change the security landscape in this country and around the world for years to come."
So far so good. Even a crackhead could keep up.
"If there was ever a detonation in New York City, or London, or Johannesburg, the ramifications economically, politically and from a security perspective would be devastating," the president said.
Oblahblah being Oblahblah, I guess.
"We know that organizations like al-Qaida are in the process of trying to secure nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction, and would have no compunction at using them," Obama said.
But now that they know we are kinder and gentler, for sure they will now back off to name-calling.
The Nuclear Security Summit of more than 40 world leaders in Washington this week is aimed at securing "loose nuclear material," Obama said. He was holding one-on-one meetings Sunday with several of those leaders.
How 'bout keeping the stuff from getting loose in the first place. Better yet, keep the stuff from being made in the first place. I know a few good places to start.
But hey, if Obongo feels he is accomplishing something by essentially fiddling while Iran and NorK are busily popping out nukes, I guess I'll just have to be satisfied by waiting for that politically devastating thingy to come into play. |
