Senator Barack Obama will propose on Tuesday setting a goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons in the world, saying the United States should greatly reduce its stockpiles to lower the threat of nuclear terrorism, aides say.
In a speech at DePaul University in Chicago, Mr. Obama will add his voice to a plan endorsed earlier this year by a bipartisan group of former government officials from the cold war era who say the United States must begin building a global consensus to reverse a reliance on nuclear weapons that have become “increasingly hazardous and decreasingly effective.”
Mr. Obama, according to details provided by his campaign Monday, also will call for pursuing vigorous diplomatic efforts aimed at a global ban on the development, production and deployment of intermediate-range missiles.
“In 2009, we will have a window of opportunity to renew our global leadership and bring our nation together,” Mr. Obama is planning to say, according to an excerpt of remarks provided by his aides. “If we don’t seize that moment, we may not get another.”
His speech was to come one day after an announcement by the Bush administration that it had tripled the rate of dismantling nuclear weapons over the last year, putting the United States on track to reducing its stockpile of weapons by half by 2012.
The exact number of weapons being dismantled, like the overall stockpile, is secret, but officials said Monday that with the planned reductions, the total number of American nuclear weapons would be at the lowest levels since Dwight D. Eisenhower was president.
Under a 2002 treaty, the United States and Russia agreed to limit the number of operational nuclear weapons in their arsenals to between 1,700 and 2,200 by 2012, though that agreement did not address weapons in reserve stockpiles.

The lights are on, but nobody’s home!
Let’s send both of them out to wow the world with their ignorance!
“Senator Barack Obama will propose on Tuesday setting a goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons in the world, saying the United States should greatly reduce its stockpiles to lower the threat of nuclear terrorism, aides say.”
An easy way to get rid of a lot of them is just to target a bunch of our ICBMs at Iran and turn the launch key.
I wonder if this is what Osama Obama had in mind?
And yes, he is toast.
We should definitely get rid of nukes.
But of course, not until we develop something more powerful and effective to replace them.
The history of the world, and of warfare, is those nations with the best and most advanced weapons are the nations that win wars, survive and thrive. Those without them, are eventually subjugated.
Obama is a dangerous idiot to suggest getting rid of nukes without a replacement in hand.
I mean if the Pope can't get this done, who in heck does Obama think he is , the second coming?
You bet he's toast, he seems so out of touch that someone needs to anchor the man to planet earth. I doubt whether he will even be re-elected as a Senator.

I was a little baffled by the whole flag flap last week... i’ve got it figured out after this article... obama figures that he needs to get used to not having the american flag around ... he wants to give away the one thing that makes us more secure than anything else...if he gets elected theres no telling what will happen
