Obama’s New Nuke Strategy Raises Fears of Bolstering Rogue States

President Obama’s decision to reverse 65 years of U.S. nuclear weapons policy and drop most of the nation’s deterrence capacity has alarmed critics who say they fear that the United States will now be more vulnerable to attack from would-be nuclear nations.

By changing the policy, the Obama administration hopes the United States can focus on stopping the spread of atomic weapons to terror groups such as Al Qaeda as well as halt North Korea’s nuclear buildup and Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday in announcing the new Nuclear Posture Review.

But skeptics say the policy change will only embolden those groups and tie the U.S.’ hands.
