“It’s time to send a clear message to the world: America seeks a world with no nuclear weapons,” the White House hopeful said.

The treaty would require each side to reduce deployed strategic nuclear warheads to roughly 1,600, down from 2,200 now, officials have said. It would also oblige each side to reduce its arsenal of strategic bombers and land- and sea-based missiles to 800, half the old limit of 1,600.
Arms control advocates consider those reductions to be relatively modest.
Nice work, PResident. This is no different then BUsh would have done.
Well, he did scrap Bush’s missile defense shield, right?
Uh, no.. not, really, he replaced it with his own version. (a little something for General Dynamics instead of Lockheed, maybe? Or Honeywell instead of Boeing? Who can say.)
If you want to stop nuclear weapons, and you’re the US, it’s kinda like what John Rotten said about rockstars complaining about having to be rockstars–JUST STOP BEING ONE THEN.
Dick.
