President Obama today took a step toward his stated명백한 goal of a nuclear weapons-free world. Tonight he’s taking criticism from all sides for it. The President’s new strategy sets new limits on when nuclear weapons could be used. And the big change is that the US pledges not to use nukes against non-nuclear nations of the world, even to retaliate for a biological or chemical attack. Conservatives don’t like the plan because they say it weakens the nation. Liberals wanted the President to go even further and say the US would never be the first to use nuclear weapons.

But when it comes to nuclear wannabes like North Korea and Iran or terrorist groups like Al Qaeda, American policy is just as threatening as it always was.

 

"All options are on the table when it comes to countries in that category." Stopping the spread of nuclear weapons is a first step toward President Obama's ultimate goal of eliminating them. Secretary of State Clinton called the new policy a milestone. But if the goal is to eliminate nuclear weapons, it will be a very long road. David Martin, CBS News, the pentagon.
