NYTimes 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.
Liberty Pundits:
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. (Check.)I will not weaponize space. (Check and Mate.)
I will slow our development of future combat systems. (Check, Check and Check.)
And I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending. (Ummmm, yeah.)
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. (Check.)
To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons. (We’re not.)
I will seek a ban on the production of fissile material. (A dancing unicorn non-starter.)
And I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBM’s off hair-trigger alert and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal. (Check and Check.)
And after all of those check marks for a man of his word, at least when it comes to defense and security, we have what is being dubbed the “Obama nuclear weapons manifesto.”
Our POTUS-Projecting weakness to our enemies just as the nation is heading into the eye of the economic hurricane.
