The Appeaser In Chief, is putting America in its place as a "weaker, kinder" nation....

Thanks BHO.  Who evidently does not know what deterrence means.....

I wonder if this means the SS agent with the nuclear "football" that goes with the POTUS everywhere, will lose his job?

Sorry, I'm having Carter flashbacks again,......and need an aspirin, and Pepto..

Obama limits use of nuclear weapons


The United States has unveiled new limits on its nuclear arsenal, saying it will only use atomic weapons in "extreme circumstances" and will not attack non-nuclear states.

It is the first time a US administration has held an unclassified review of its nuclear posture and is in keeping with president Barack Obama's promise to move toward a world without nuclear weapons.

For the first time, the US is forswearing use of atomic weapons against non-nuclear countries, a break with a Bush-era threat of nuclear retaliation in the event of a biological or chemical attack.

But this comes with a major condition. Those countries would be spared a US nuclear response only if they are in compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Iran and North Korea would thus not be protected.

"If there is a message for Iran and North Korea here, it is... if you're not going to play by the rules, if you're going to be a proliferator, then all options are on the table in terms of how we deal with you," US defence secretary Robert Gates said.

Seeking to set an example, the Obama administration said the US would consider use of nuclear weapons only in "extreme circumstances" and committed to not developing any new nuclear warheads.

But it said that while reducing the role of nuclear weapons in national security, the US would strengthen its conventional arsenal.

Threat of attack

The Nuclear Posture Review, as the policy document is known, stated: "The threat of global nuclear war has become remote, but the risk of nuclear attack has increased."

The NPR is required by congress from every US administration, but Mr Obama set expectations high after he vowed to end "Cold War thinking" and won the Nobel Peace Prize in part for his vision of a nuclear-free world.

The administration also pledged to pursue further arms control with Russia beyond the new START pact Mr Obama and Russian president Dmitry Medvedev will sign this week in Prague, in which they promise to slash nuclear arsenals by a third.

"The US will pursue high-level, bilateral dialogues on strategic stability with both Russia and China which are aimed at fostering more stable, resilient and transparent strategic relationships," it said.

But the Obama administration said a lack of transparency surrounding China's nuclear programs was cause for concern over Beijing's strategic intentions.

Mr Obama did not comment publicly on the new posture. Next week he hosts world leaders at a nuclear security summit.

He flies to Prague late tomorrow to sign a new Nuclear Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia.
