Introduction to Book on Obama Nuclear Agenda

Dangerous Road: The Nuclear Policies of the Obama Administration, Center for Security Policy, June 17, 2010. "On 8 April, 2010, President Obama and Russian President Medvedev signed the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or "New START," lowering the limit on deployed strategic nuclear weapons by either nation. The following week, President Obama hosted the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, D.C., the stated purpose of which was to address "the threat of nuclear materials in the hands of terrorists or criminals." Against this backdrop, three panels of distinguished experts on nuclear policy convened in Washington, D.C. to offer critical assessment of President Obama's nuclear agenda-and whether it is compatible with maintaining an American nuclear arsenal that can credibly, reliably, and effectively address today's threats. The panels were organized under the auspices of the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute, the Center for Security Policy and its New Deterrent Working Group."

Obama's Faulty Nuclear Vision

Obama Needs to Refocus His Vision Over Nuclear Weapons, Yorkshire Post, April 14, 2010. "Nuclear weapons are in the news again. But the focus of attention isn't dictatorial North Korea, whose weapons are under no international control. Nor is the spotlight on Iran's programme, even as its tyrannical leaders crush their own people, support terrorism across the Middle East, and threaten Israel's annihilation. The focus is on the United States. And, even stranger, it's the President of the United States who put it there by signing a new arms treaty with Russia. The spotlight will only brighten this week when Obama hosts his nuclear security summit in Washington."
