Nuclear blast victims would have to wait

The White House has warned state and local governments not to expect a "significant federal response" at the scene of a terrorist nuclear attack for 24 to 72 hours after the blast, according to a planning guide.

President Obama told delegates from 47 nations at the Nuclear Security Summit on Tuesday that it would be a "catastrophe for the world" if al-Qaeda or another terrorist group got a nuclear device, because so many lives would be lost and it would be so hard to mitigate damage from the blast.

Bullshit. It would take 24 to 72 hours for Obama to get his head out of his ass and then only do what is politically expedient for him.

Basically, what he just admitted to the world... and our enemies, is that WE ARE NOT READY to deal with this. What a loser. "Wahhhh... it would be so hard..." Duh! That's why WE pay YOU the big bucks to make sure IT DOESN'T HAPPEN! And it's OK to criticize Bush for Katrina?

Maybe now he'll rethink pussyfooting around with Iran?

Nah... get serious.
