Critics say initiative will undermine American efforts to build support for nuclear controls.
VIENNA, Austria -- Research on a new generation of precision atomic weapons by the Bush administration threatens to undermine international efforts to stop the spread of nuclear arms and to tarnish recent successes, according to diplomats and nonproliferation experts.

Another question for everyone on this thread.
Didn't the fact that Ascroft was sent for to get back from his vacation a real sobering fact in this article? It certainly was the key point in it for me.
i fault the U.S. on this too. Why are we pursuing smaller
nukes- we should be making more powerful ones that will
penetrate mountains like Tora Bora
