Obama/Pakistan

Your analysis would be more plausible if Obama really said that "in any future combat, all US nukes are off the table." However:
  • Turns out that the AP story failed to add a very important bit of context. Obama was asked about using nuclear weapons against terrorist targets [in] Afghanistan and Pakistan; the Bush Administration has never ruled out using tactical nukes to root out underground terrorist safe havens. In this much more limited context, Obama was setting some policy: no, he would not ever consider using nuclear weapons on terrorist targets in those two countries.

Using nukes on terrorists makes little sense.

Since you are all about accuracy in reporting lately, I'll wait here for your outrage that the MSM erred in a way that made Obama look bad.
You mean the AP misquoted someone? Golly!!!!
