“Today is an opportunity, not simply to talk, but to act — not simply to make pledges, but to make real progress on the security of our people,” said Mr Obama.
David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, praised the president’s vision and leadership in establishing a “gold standard of what nuclear security means”.
Ukraine and Chile have agreed to hand over uranium that could be enriched to weapons level, while Russia announced plans to spend $2.5 billion (£1.6 billion) to dispose of 34 tons of plutonium, enough to make 17,000 weapons, as part of an agreement signed with the US.

Our people is bowing to a commie dictator.
LOL! I was wondering when someone would photoshop that shadow!
The CHINESE know OBOZO has “NO FACE!” a ZERO FACE!
That is the most Dispicable of Dispicable in Chinese Culture! You are seeing it in this picture. President Hu Jindao is Laughing at the Putz as Zero bows in Humility to America’s Primary Enemy! Disgusting and Terrifying! You can bet the Chinese know ever sordid detail about ZERO’S Sordid and Fraudulent Past!
I miss the old Bush Texas strut and his ability to tower over all the foreign dignitaries he met regardless their height. To face them down as if he should be bowed to. A man, a President ... not like this Soros lackey we now suffer under.
Thank you! I sure missed that Great Shadow Message!!
That is a Poster for November’s Election!
This Twerp doesn’t know whether he/she/it is Masculine or Feminine! He is a Gay Confused Communist and aa Anger Filled Two Bit Aspiring Despot!
President George W. Bush is an American Patriot, Hero and a Historic Leader and President Who Should be on Mount Rushmore tomorrow! Putin Feared, Honored and Trusted Bush, he dispises and sees OBOZO as a freakin Fraud and an Illegitimate Bozo Clown! who Failed at Overthrowing the KENYAN GOVERNMENT before getting elected as a Fraud!
He should be kicked out of office just for the embarrassment he is causing the American people by his constant kowtowing to every world leader he meets. Woose (?) would be the mildest term I would use in describing his manhood, or lack thereof.
I’m not one to get angry much (always figured it a waste of time and energy), just my nature. But his continued bowing to world leaders is really beginning to piss me off.
I hope all that voted for this piece of crap are happy now. :-(
