Just a few excerpts from articles on how Obama plans to "defend" this country. This should be comforting when you go to sleep at night.

(1)

The Obama administration is formulating a new nuclear weapons policy that would include the elimination of thousands of warheads and the possible withdrawal of all tactical warheads from Europe.

Obama is also under pressure to abandon the Bush Doctrine allowing preemptive action, including the use of nuclear weapons, against any nation threatening American security, The New York Times reported on Monday. The new strategy will be included in a document called the Nuclear Posture Review, which every president must complete.

“It will be clear in the document that there will be very dramatic reductions — in the thousands — as related to the stockpile,” a senior administration official told the Times. Many of those warheads are in storage.

The administration is also discussing whether to withdraw American nuclear weapons from Europe, “where they provide more political reassurance than actual defense,” according to the Times.

Obama last year ended financing for a new nuclear warhead sought by the Bush administration — bunker-busting weapons that could be used to strike buried targets like the nuclear facilities in Iran and North Korea.
