President Obama will rewrite America’s policy on nuclear weapons next week, heralding further reductions in the US stockpile and giving a pledge not to develop new systems.
After a review of the nation’s nuclear weapons arsenal that has involved, among others, the Pentagon, the Department of Energy and the intelligence services, as well as the White House, Mr Obama is expected to reject the doctrine on nuclear weapons — the “nuclear posture” — adopted by George W. Bush, which included the possibility of the United States launching an attack on a non-nuclear state.
The Obama Administration has come under pressure from arms control analysts to redefine the circumstances in which the US might consider using nuclear weapons, and to state beyond doubt that the justification for keeping them is purely as a deterrent.
After the President’s speech in Prague last April, when he laid out his personal vision of a world without nuclear weapons, the US has been carrying out a review of its nuclear posture and the conclusions are due to be published in a declassified version early next week — before Mr Obama flies back to Prague to sign the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (Start) with President Medvedev of Russia on April 8.
President Bush tried but failed to persuade Congress to finance a new programme to develop more advanced “bunker-busting” nuclear bombs, as well as to design new atomic warheads. Now Mr Obama is expected to rule out the development of new weapons systems — despite reservations from the military, which is mindful that Russia and China are modernising and expanding their nuclear forces respectively.

Nine words I thought I would never see...the first two and the last seven...we’ve got a lot to undo...
Obama is making Carter look like Gen, Patten!
Doesn’t he know we can’t afford conventional forces with all these social mandates?
LBJ proved it would work.
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I am not a conspiracy kook or into wearing tin-foil hats. But when I look at what has happened in this country in the last 14 months, it isn’t difficult to see a pattern. Everything is being done to weaken this country; destroy its economy, weaken the military, and impoverish its people to the point where all they want is a bowl of soup and a ragged blanket to try and keep warm with. And the soup will not have to be warm.
We are Reagans Bright Shining Light on the Hill. But I see things happening that will darken that light if Americans don’t stand up and refuse to bow to this government.

Yes. The NWO can not succeed as long as America remains exceptional and the leader of the Free World.
From local organizing to destruction of a once great Country. Quite a talent for a no experience unknown. Wonder who’s working the strings.

Well said.
This is how our Republic will die - with thunderous applause from the socialists who are within.
On a par with Clinton's "sale" of the W-88 to China.

They will also die if we get nuked. I think it is a possibility that we >will< get nuked.
