WASHINGTON — President Obama said Monday that he was revamping American nuclear strategy to substantially narrow the conditions under which the United States would use nuclear weapons, even in self defense.
But the president said in an interview that he was carving out an exception for “outliers like Iran and North Korea” that have violated or renounced the main treaty to halt nuclear proliferation.
Discussing his approach to nuclear security the day before formally releasing his new strategy, Mr. Obama described his policy as part of a broader effort to edge the world toward making nuclear weapons obsolete, and to create incentives for countries to give up any nuclear ambitions. To set an example, the new strategy renounces the development of any new nuclear weapons, overruling the initial position of his own defense secretary.
Mr. Obama’s strategy is a sharp shift from those adopted by his predecessors and seeks to revamp the nation’s nuclear posture for a new age in which rogue states and terrorist organizations are greater threats than traditional powers like Russia and China.
It eliminates much of the ambiguity that has deliberately existed in American nuclear policy since the opening days of the Cold War. For the first time, the United States is explicitly committing not to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states that are in compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, even if they attacked the United States with biological or chemical weapons, or launched a crippling cyberattack.
Those threats, he argued, could be deterred with “a series of graded options” -- a combination of old and newly designed conventional weapons.
“I’m going to preserve all the tools that are necessary in order to make sure that the American people are safe and secure,” Mr. Obama said during the interview in the Oval Office.

Yes, he is a joke. Just a reminder what we’d be getting if Ubama were dragged from office. And the sad part is, the Joke is preferable at this time.
God gave us the divine finger years ago . We’re screwed and no Republicrats are going to save us . Stick a fork in us , we are done .
It’s not ‘stupid’ or ‘insane’ if you hate this country though. That’s what should scare the hell out of us. Obama seems to be doing everything in his power to destroy our country. At some point, you have to ask yourself, is it because he is a stupid leftist or is it something even worse?
How do we get Barry's ineligibility issues out to the Public in general to make a real impact???

This guy needs impeached now.
The only thing stopping it is... all of the democratic idiots that scream racism for disagreeing with this radical fool.
You ain't seen nothing yet...wait until he loses his Congress and then realizes he's a one-termer."
Once some tiny nation hits us with only one chem/bio attack, we will know it wasn’t serious.
But if they hit us with another simular attack, Hussein will go to a ‘chart’ to see if they have more such weapons and make a definite decision after conducting internal polls and after the Senate and House conclude their investigations to confirm it was really the nation in question which attacked...
There is only 2 was to remove Hussein:
a) conviction by the Seante or
b)
You don't think so?
There’s the quote about duck and cover. I noticed he didn’t say he did but that most people his age remember doing that. IOW, he never did because he was in Indonesia. Nice little side step there.
Good news for the day! The last air headed friend who voted for the usurper that I haven’t cut off just said she is now sick that she brought this on our country. People are slowing but surely setting down the kool aid cups but I’m afraid it might be too late.
Safe and secure under communism...

No, no. It would be very wrong to pray for Obama’s demise. That certainly was not what I said. I said that I prayed for my country. That God will safeguard our country, its people, and especially its children and its future.
If that involves Obama’s conversion, fine. With God, all things are possible. But He does not FORCE conversions on anyone, and I am extremely doubtful whether Obama will convert from his evil ways. No one but God can know that for certain, but it certainly would appear that Obama is fixed in his evil ways, and has chosen to follow the path of destruction to America. I pray that God will do what is best.
