He &#8220;says&#8221; he is thinking morning, noon, and night and obsessing about the what to do about the oil leak in the Gulf. And there&#8217;s a little problem here. A subterranean tactical (20-40 kiloton) nuclear device activated in the vicinity of the leak would stop the leakage with almost no danger of any excess nuclear material being released to the environment. I&#8217;m betting this won&#8217;t be done. Why? <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mr Obama is religiously anti-nuclear. He holds to an unstated (unexamined?) ivory tower plan toward a nuclear free world. Using a nuclear device to stop one of the larger modern ecological disasters has no part in that plan. The notion that a nuclear device might do anything but harm would be a fatal flaw for his dream.<\/li>\n<li>If it works then it would have worked it two months ago. Which means the longer we wait to do that &#8230; the more obvious that doing it earlier would have been better is all the more compelling. Which is why, now two months down the road this won&#8217;t be done. Every day, every hour makes the chance of acting decisively less easy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So remember, as you look at pictures of ecological impacts of the oil spill in the upcoming months. Mr Obama could have fixed this and even prevented it but didn&#8217;t because it would hurt his case for non-proliferation and because it would make him look a little stupid. <\/p>\n<p>So when you gaze on the gulf disaster you&#8217;re looking at the results of Mr Obama&#8217;s pride and folly.<br \/><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;\"><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Lucida Grande',Verdana,Arial,'Bitstream Vera Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/pixy.gif?x-id=f5ce3ddc-fc75-8d95-b29c-9d36f1c8e8c8\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr Obama is in a pickle.
