What World Do You Live In? Clinton Outlines Nuke Free World

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is set Wednesday to outline key steps Washington will take to fulfill President Barack Obama’s vision of a world free of nuclear weapons.
In a speech in Washington, Clinton will show how the world will be safer through a new US-Russia nuclear arms reduction treaty as well as broader ratification of a treaty banning nuclear weapons tests, officials said.
“It’s going to be an important opportunity for the secretary to lay out our priorities to implement the president’s vision at Prague,” Clinton’s spokesman Ian Kelly said Tuesday.
In a speech in the Czech capital on April 5, Obama pledged to lead a quest for a world purged of atomic weapons when he unveiled a plan to cut stockpiles, curtail testing, choke fissile production and secure loose nuclear material.
“I think she’ll touch on some of the steps that we’re working hard on to get to that point, including a successor regime to the START treaty and also the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty), which is coming up,” he said.
A new review conference for the NPT is scheduled for next year.
Washington and Moscow are pursuing negotiations for a successor to the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which strictly limits US and Russian arsenals and is seen as a cornerstone of Cold War-era strategic arms control.
The talks made little progress under former US president George W. Bush.
But Clinton said during talks in Moscow last week that US and Russian negotiators were on schedule to complete an agreement by the time the treaty expires on December 5.
A new negotiating session, set to last two weeks, opened Monday in Geneva, with the US side headed by Assistant Secretary of State Rose Gottemoeller, Kelly said.
With the deadline drawing closer, “both sides are negotiating intensively and seriously,” Kelly said Monday.
“I think that both sides exchanged drafts of an agreement… There’s a lot of overlap in the agreement, so there’s progress in that respect,” the spokesman said.
A senior State Department official told AFP that Clinton “will describe how taking steps,” including those to secure a new START agreement, “will make our country safer and more secure and enhance international stability.”
The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said these also include ratification of a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the start of work on a Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty.
Six countries — the United States, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, China and Egypt — have signed but not ratified the pact. North Korea, India and Pakistan have not signed it and all three have carried out nuclear tests since 1996.

a world without nuclear weapons … hmmm … how does she intend to get the middle east and north korea to give up their nuke programs? does she intend to empty our nuke arsenal first? that will only work IF it is emptied by sending every one of the nukes into those regions and destroying them …
She’s just one in a long line of morons who refuse to study history, abhor human intelligence and counterintelligence and in general have an ideological disdain for the land and its heritage they exploit so graciously. Her performance, like Obama’s to date show that nrither should have been hired.
Few believed the same gourmet shuck-n-jive by John Kerry and his pal Edwards, they were never hired (elected). Why did this livid deceptive revolutionary leftist team get hired, especially after so many were told of their pedigree?????????
We have become fools. We are about to pay for that foolishness.
now we know how long and how deep the conspiracy goes … ever wonder why so little has been taught, over the past 30 years, about American herritage and real American history? ever wonder what the goal was? wonder no more, it is being played out in the laps of the sheeple who have been bred and raised to simply follow and not think.
usefull idiot. I gotta say,I NEVER thought I would see hillary played by another politican,like ovomit has played her. But then again,half black satan is a different beast
Completely, utterly, and dangerously stupid! Unfortunately, it runs rampant throughout our entire government.
The best thing about Obama - for Hillary, that is - is that he makes her look like a centrist. In fact, she is just as far to the left as him. She also idolizes Saul Alinsky.
Hillary is just Obama with different genitalia and cankles.
Cankles…I’d love to use this word myself describing leftist hags. It’s a great description. But what is a cankle?And if you invented it, may I use it?
From the Urban Dictionary:
A reference to a pair of legs that have no defined end of the calf area as well as no defined beginning of the ankle area. Does not only refer to fatty legs, simply shapeless legs.
“Perfect face, perfect body, smart and funny… but damn… i can’t handle them cankles.”
Use away!
I’m not convinced s/he has different genitalia.
Correction: Obama/Clinton seeks a world without *American* nuclear weapons.
If this works out anything like the deployment of missile interceptors in Poland, Obama will eliminate our nuclear weapons while the Russians say, “Oh, we changed our minds and will not be reducing our nuclear inventory.”
I’m sure CHINA will be delighted at our foolishness. How conveniently they are always left out of this debate, as if they didn’t exist, but no doubt they are waiting for us to cut our own throats with this stupidity.
