Obama Curbs U.S. Nuclear Weapons Development, Usage Policy

From NTI.org (April 6):

The Obama administration today issued its Nuclear Posture Review, swearing off creation of new nuclear weapons and significantly limiting the circumstances under which such armaments could be used, according to news reports (see GSN, March 24).

The document pledges the United States not to conduct nuclear strikes on non-nuclear states, a change in policy from the Bush administration stance that allowed for an atomic response to a biological or chemical strike, Reuters reported (Stewart/Spetalnick, Reuters, April 6).

President Barack Obama told the New York Times that the new policy does not apply to "outliers like Iran and North Korea" that are in noncompliance with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty or have withdrawn from the pact. [read more]

I like Bush's national security better. So, let me understand what Emperor Obama's policy is: If you attack America and don't have nuclear weapons and kill millions of people with another weapon he won't retaliate? Why does the method of attack matter? I mean if someone strangles you to death instead of stabbing you to death--you are still dead. That is like giving a murder a different sentence based on the weapon he used. Makes so sense to me.

Also, why is Obama announcing his national security policy to the world anyway. That's like a football coach telling his opponent his game plan. Jimmy Carter did that and it did not help him at all.

I know Obama wants the world to be nuclear free. It's noble, but naive. I heard on the news that countries are increasing the nuclear arsenal. I rather have countries have peaceful governments. After all it takes is a world leader to give the order to use the nuclear weapons.
