Obama to Urge Elimination of Nuclear Weapons
By JEFF ZELENY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 — Senator Barack Obama will propose on Tuesday setting a goal of eliminating all nuclear weapons in the world, saying the United States should greatly reduce its stockpiles to lower the threat of nuclear terrorism, aides say.

In a speech at DePaul University in Chicago, Mr. Obama will add his voice to a plan endorsed earlier this year by a bipartisan group of former government officials from the cold war era who say the United States must begin building a global consensus to reverse a reliance on nuclear weapons that have become “increasingly hazardous and decreasingly effective.”

Mr. Obama, according to details provided by his campaign Monday, also will call for pursuing vigorous diplomatic efforts aimed at a global ban on the development, production and deployment of intermediate-range missiles.

“In 2009, we will have a window of opportunity to renew our global leadership and bring our nation together,” Mr. Obama is planning to say, according to an excerpt of remarks provided by his aides. “If we don’t seize that moment, we may not get another.”

His speech was to come one day after an announcement by the Bush administration that it had tripled the rate of dismantling nuclear weapons over the last year, putting the United States on track to reducing its stockpile of weapons by half by 2012.

The exact number of weapons being dismantled, like the overall stockpile, is secret, but officials said Monday that with the planned reductions, the total number of American nuclear weapons would be at the lowest levels since Dwight D. Eisenhower was president.

Under a 2002 treaty, the United States and Russia agreed to limit the number of operational nuclear weapons in their arsenals to between 1,700 and 2,200 by 2012, though that agreement did not address weapons in reserve stockpiles.

Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, is seeking to draw attention to his foreign policy views with the approach of the fifth anniversary of the Congressional vote authorizing military action in Iraq. He is highlighting his early opposition to the war, which he argues is a sign of judgment that is more important than the number of years served in Washington.

Mr. Obama, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, often tells voters that the Iraq war has consumed American foreign policy to the detriment of its ability to address other threats facing the nation. In his speech on Tuesday, aides said, Mr. Obama will assert, as he has before, that the United States should not threaten terrorist training camps with nuclear weapons.

If elected, Mr. Obama plans to say, he will lead a global effort to secure nuclear weapons and material at vulnerable sites within four years. He also will pledge to end production of fissile material for weapons, agree not to build new weapons and remove any remaining nuclear weapons from hair-trigger alert.

In his speech, according to a campaign briefing paper, Mr. Obama also will call for using a combination of diplomacy and pressure to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs. Aides did not say what Mr. Obama intended to do if diplomacy and sanctions failed.

In setting a goal of eliminating nuclear weapons in the world, Mr. Obama is endorsing a call for “urgent new actions” to prevent a new nuclear era that was laid out in January in a commentary in The Wall Street Journal written by several former government officials. The authors of the article were George P. Shultz, secretary of state in the Reagan administration; Henry Kissinger, secretary of state in the Nixon and Ford administrations; William J. Perry, secretary of defense in the Clinton administration; and Sam Nunn, a former chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee

This is a concensus across the board and it makes sense. How do you increase your stockpiles while telling other countries to do the opposite, and expect them to listen to you?

this is the type of leadership and thinking we NEED in office, instead of making plans to fight a THIRD war in the middle east by a bunch of pussies who deffered when they were called to fight, we could be showing the world our new approach of reconciliation and mutual respect. We have a stockpile to destroy every planet in this solar system, what the fuck for?

that'll mean something to me when they get elected, you forget that not only did they wack the only catholic president, but they wacked his brother too..........bush just appointed people for business reasons strictly.

I'm not saying I'm for Iran having a nuke, I felt that Iran was more of a concern then Iraq with Saddam, I'm just posing a question.......

the one country in the middle east that a majority of the people would like a democracy is IRAN. and we had a golden oppurtunity to appeal to them when he was here and we blew it.

So what do you think about Bush going forward with decreasing our stockpile of nukes by 2012? Why is Obama wrong but no mention of the man you support who agrees with him?

Jamez, janine, do you think that decreasing nukes to a couple of thousand means it will increase our chance of getting nuked? Instead of it being played as a bargaining chip for getting other countries to decrease or cease production of their own stockpiles?

the outcome of that war you can say it now because we all can sit here and look at the past and decide was it right or wrong.. If we didnt drop them do we know if the war would have ended??? Nobody will ever know for certain if it would have or not.. to say the war was coming to an end, you really cant say that because all it takes is one lil action to spur the war into high gear again. So YES i think the U.S. has been careful with them since we have had them.

too long for me to read right now.. but like i said.. its easy to look back on the past and say.. well we should have done this or we should have done that... whats done is done... we used the weapons in a war to end the war.. yes i do believe we also used them to make a statement.. and yes we did.. But like I said.. we have had these weapons for 50 + years. We have shown we do not use them just because we decide we wanna take a country off the planet. I.E. Iran speaking of Isreal. They want these weapons to be offensive and do the most amount of damage possible.

That's a cop out, so can we drop a Nuke on Iraq and 5 years later just say well it was easy to look back on the past and say........to me Iran's threat to wipe Israel off the map is hollow, if they did have nuclear weapons I don't think they'd need to make the thread, I chalk it up to the kid who gets beat up by the bully everyday at school who wishes that motherfucker would die, he moves away or you get bigger all of a sudden you don't want him to die anymore, its something said out of despair.

That makes no sense.. you're for putting is into another cold war? The era that you praise your idol (Reagan) for ending? You think we should increase or decrease? That's all I want an answer to. The treaty Bush signed says to decrease to around 2000. You think we should go the opposite direction and increase?

You criticized Obama for saying nukes should be eliminated around the world and the U.S. should significantly decrease their stockpiles... but this is the direction that there is a concensus on and the guy you support (Bush) agrees. So tell me where the "rookie mistake" is?

3) why do you always say that anyone who disagrees w/ you has "absolutely no understanding" of the topic at hand? it's just a ridiculous thing to think that ONLY YOU, and those that entirely agree w/ you, KNOW anything about anything.

that is precisely george bush's attitude jamez and you exemplify that ignorance a lot. why? Even I realize that there are plenty of ppl who KNOW SHIT, but disagree w/ me.

I think fundamentalists choose not to reason, b/c reason is drawing conclusions based upon evidence and if they are acting on religious motivations, religion isn't backed by evidence. It's faith based. Text telling you to kill infidels is not evidence that you will reap the benefits of doing so, so no, they are not "reasonable" as I understand the word.

You should really back away from terms like " culture of death" b/c they're bullshit terms made up by george & co that oversimplify and dumb down very intricate situations. there is no "axis of evil", or "evildoers", or "culture of life" vs "culture of death". There is good and bad in everyone and everything and pretending that it's good vs. bad, black and white, is doing nobody any good. least of all us. it's fodder for retards to be honest.

There are def. insane, fanatical fundamentalists of the muslim variety that pose a legit threat to us, this is no secret. But being careless about who we throw that term on is only going to backfire on us. You cannot fight an ideology with force, you can't eradicate a mind-set that people reach due to x,y,z factors in the world w/o addressing x,y,z. Until we address what has created and perpetuated this threat we're fucked. We can't fight every lunatic, we can't wipe the earth clean of every fundamentalist who might be prone to strapping a bomb on or opposing freedom in their country. You say negotiating w/ them is useless, I say what good is killing a portion of them going to do except antagonize? We have to protect ourselves, and take out targets (like osama) when we can, but basing our whole policy on force and dismissing other means is foolish as hell.

they are done by radical individuals or groups of individuals, mostly from rural areas.... completely backwards and acting out their own village tribal laws.... and 9/10 when its found out by officials, the government EXECUTES THEM.....

so how does the actions by animals here and there warrant GOING TO FUCKING WAR WITH AN ENTIRE COUNTRY.... causing the deaths of tens to hundreds of thousands of people...... including our own.... and spending trillions......

These are details irrelevant to the point jamez. the point is, you cannot sum up any one country or person as good or bad, in a perfect little category. humans are imperfect and we are all capable of negative things, so also are the gov'ts and bodies we run. we can't possibly think we're the "good" guys and they're the "bad" ones just b/c the current admin decided it would best serve their purpose to attach that label. I'm not disputing that we're good, or that we don't have some seriously fucked up enemies, but I'm opposed to the direct labeling that STOPS people from further questioning the situation. They are not monsters, they are people that became how they are FOR REASONS we have to understand in order to protect ourselves against. i don't use the term "defeat" b/c I don't believe you can "defeat" fanaticism, extremism, or terrorism. You can just lessen their breeding ground.

by using those terms, you're oversimplifying which leads to misunderstanding and lack of critical thought. that is exactly what this admin strived for, achieved, and sustained itself on and it's dangerous.

These are details irrelevant to the point jamez. the point is, you cannot sum up any one country or person as good or bad, in a perfect little category. humans are imperfect and we are all capable of negative things, so also are the gov'ts and bodies we run. we can't possibly think we're the "good" guys and they're the "bad" ones just b/c the current admin decided it would best serve their purpose to attach that label. I'm not disputing that we're good, or that we don't have some seriously fucked up enemies, but I'm opposed to the direct labeling that STOPS people from further questioning the situation. They are not monsters, they are people that became how they are FOR REASONS we have to understand in order to protect ourselves against. i don't use the term "defeat" b/c I don't believe you can "defeat" fanaticism, extremism, or terrorism. You can just lessen their breeding ground.

by using those terms, you're oversimplifying which leads to misunderstanding and lack of critical thought. that is exactly what this admin strived for, achieved, and sustained itself on and it's dangerous.

i dont think we are good because bush says we are ..

i think behavior is key..how we treat our women, citizens, illegals, muslims, etc .. i think fundamental human rights are not just good but natural ..of course theres bad people in america ..there good and bad everywhere..

I just think when oppression, anti-women practices, racism, the destruction of israel, jailing people for speech and expressiion is SPONSERD by a goverment is immoral dictatorships are immoral , but those are my personal beliefs ...you cant change bad people but you can replace bad evil goverments because there are many good people who want freedom all over the world

yes, i agree w/ what i bolded, but our idea of freedom isn't everyone's. granted nobody wants to be tortured or killed, but beyond that "freedom" can mean different things to people w/ completely diff sets of values, views, etc.

there is nothing to think about.... its terrible, and im sure the people that did it get executed for doing so by the government if they were caught...

just like the villagers that stone girls suspected of adultry, they get executed for doing so......

these are tribal lunatics.... but again a very small minority.... 99.9% of muslims dont do that shit....

you know how many rediculous shit happens here in the states? look at that couple that kept a black girl in their trailer and raped and tortured her for weeks.... sick shit happens everywhere, anytime.

You like to take these one off stories and spin it to make it look like we will be hanged in times sq if we dont act fast and bomb these fuckers.... but again you fail to realize that bombing those fuckers (a country that is probably more western than any other country in the ME, and who has a population less than happy about their current leadership, and who HAS nothing to do with little boy hangings) will cause the deaths of perhaps hundreds of thousands......

jamez, why when I make a comparison do you insist on debating it by offering ANY difference? making a comparison doesn't mean two things are EXACTLY the same, it's examining the similarities that DO exist for perception.

you do not need to point out to me the fact that differences exist in the scenarios I lay out, I'm not trying to say they don't. I'm asking you to examine wtf I've isolated.

we are not so different and painting them as "bad" and us as "good" and them as "savages" while we attempt in no way to understand their mentality is FOOLISH.

I do know that, but that's not the "political" means I'm referring to.

that's not the political end, he is a general. his end is military and alliances and dealings w/ local factions are a part of his job and his mission, but our GOV'T has a political end they must deal with and iraq has a political situation/gov't that has to be handled that isn't.

petraeus' work isn't fixing their gov't, it's helping his situation on the ground w/ security. nothing has changed in their political spectrum, or in our dealings on the gov'ts end. He has more skill than george, 100% diplomatically but he is not the diplomat and he cannot fix iraq's gov't.

Iran is a sophisticated country. It has a very strong middle class and a student population that is extremely unhappy with the government there and they arent silent about it...in fact they have a fairly free and liberal press. They are advanced technology wise in comparison to other middle eastern countries and have a positive view towards the US.

when you really look at it, the Iranians views towards America and its leaders views are kinda like our views towards the war and our presidents views

going in 2 different directions

Iran has bigger problems then shooting nukes. Progressively over the past 5 years the people of Iran have grown more and more upset with the leadership and have voiced these opinions.

like they said on bill Mahr...which btw I am not his biggest fan...but I agree with the last episode

the president of Iran saying he hates israel is like our conservatives saying homosexuality is ruining our country.....saying it just to appeal to a certain group....cuz just how there are powerful homosexuals in our country....Iran has jews in controlling positions of their government


but as for eliminating Nukes....I think that continuing to pump billions into this war over the past 4 years that money couldve been spent so much better.....I think becoming no longer dependent on foreign oil and investing in alternative fuel is a much bigger way to wage war and to hurt these countries that hurt us.....we are the 2nd biggest consumer behind China of foreign oil....just imagine how much money those blackmailing arabs would lose if we became no longer dependent on them for oil.....billions of our dollars go to these countries who use our dollars to supply terrorist organizations with the means to kill Americans and innocent civilians

I think we need to invest less in arming and building an arsonal and invest more time and money into bringing our troops home

thats exactly what petraeus is doing in iraq.. thats why i dont support killing iranians.surgical strikes on nuclear facilities ..israel did it in 1980...clinton did it in 98 ..

there is no way we could successfully beat or stifle iran militarily without the use of a WMD . . . not a chance in hell. as good as we are, i'm sorry, we're not THAT good. iran is not iraq -- don't ever make that confusion between the two, either strategically or taking greater middle-east perception into consideration. saddam was always viewed as an out & out thug by his neighbors. no one shed a tear for him when israel or clinton struck. iran is a completely different animal. just explain to me what the consolidation policy would be once surgical strikes were made against iran? walk me through the following days/months?

Iran can have radical change in its government without the use of military force

a large majority of the people are pro change and are sick of the old strict muslim views

the reason they have the president they do is similar to why we have the president we do.....and the majorty of people in both nations do not approve of the ruling power...except Iran has more of the means and capability to forcibly remove their leader

Virtually all government entities (most sectors in Iran are government-owned) have a "Muslim only" policy and they print this requirement in their job notices in newspapers. This formal exclusion of Jews from large areas of employment is badly damaging..

This info was taken from the writings of Pooya Dayanim is president of the Iranian Jewish Public Affairs Committee (IJPAC).

In theory maybe, but ever since The Islamic Revolution of 1979 made Sharia the legal code and therefore gender and religious discriminations are an integral part of the system. Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians each have one representative in the Parliament but since the authorities only employ Muslims and a ‘Sharia test’ is required, in reality these people are once again barred from working for the government.

There is plenty of material on descrimination against Iranian Jews in Iran, they are virtually second class citizens from laws to education to criminal punishment, but amadjihad will tell the world otherwise.
