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.The strategy 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 UnitedStates 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. (New York Times, 4/5/10)
OMG, as the kids would say. Doesn’t Obama realize that – when it comes to national defense – ambiguity in the minds of your enemies is EXACTLY what you want? This guy is doing more to put this country at risk every day.
Well, which is it?
