You have got to be kidding. The new Nuclear Posture Review by the Obama Administration says that if a foreign nation is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and hits us with a chemical or biological weapons (CBW) attack, we won't make a nuclear retaliation. Great. I guess somewhere U.S. citizens will die horrible deaths from smallpox or botulism or nerve gas and we will - will what? Sternly rebuke? Issue a major "No! No!"? We should always reserve the right to "ashtray" such a perpetrator of mass horror. Creative ambiguity is a good thing and keeps the peace. This Administration is living - and making policy - from an alternate reality but at some point it's going to get real Americans, real dead.
