New nuke treaty, a good thing?

Curious as to what everyone thinks about the new treaty the US and Russia signed and the announcement by the Obama Regime saying the situation when we would use nukes are limited.

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fight back to the best of our ability if attacked by something just as harsh as a nuke, such as bio or chem attack.I do not quote Sarah Palin much but she was right when she said it was like backing down from a schoolyard bully after being attacked.
The goal of a world without nuclear weapons is admirable but not possible.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.The naivete shown by Obama in foreign relations just screams Jimmy Carter.
