Just a reminder, before the Persian Gulf War back in early 90's, James Baker implied to Iraqi Officials that if chem or bio weapons were used on US troops, a nuclear response was not off the table.This bluff worked.Now the current President has basically said we won't fight back to the best of our ability if attacked by something just as harsh as a nuke, such as bio or chem attack.I do not quote Sarah Palin usually because I am not a big fan but she was right when she said it was like backing down from a schoolyard bully after being attacked.
I don't mind the reduction as much I suppose but we should be reducing our stockpile when other nations building them.The goal of a world without nuclear weapons is admirable but not possible, maybe in liberal land where it rains gummy bears but not in the real world.You can not uninvent something, best thing can do is what worked during the cold war, make sure the enemy knows you have the ability and will use it if attacked.While we are in a war against terrorism and despite what mr muslim sympathies obama says, a war against radical islam, we also have nations to worry about and need to maintain our ability to deter these nations and use the nukes if needed.First he scraps a missle shield for less effective alternative now this crap.The naivete shown by Obama in foreign relations just screams Jimmy Carter.
