CLINTON CONFIRMATION: Reducing Nuclear Proliferation, Including Our Own Nukes

“A strong commitment to the [Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty],” she pledges, including “the end of nuclear weapons, as long as we can be assured we have adequate deterrence.” That includes reducing the America’s own nuclear arsenal, so consider my earlier notation that she wouldn’t pledge to do so inoperative.

“If the United States once again leads and constructs” a firm global series of rules on nuclear proliferation “we can isolate the bad actors.”

Sen. Dick Lugar (R-Ind.), dean of nonproliferation statesmen, is busting his buttons with pride.
