Obama Mulls Over U.S. Nuclear Strategy

President Obama is considering a new nuclear strategy for the United States that might permanently decrease America’s arsenal by thousands of weapons, the New York Times reports. In a divergence from the nuclear policy of the George W. Bush administration, Obama will reconsider the circumstances under which the United States would declare that it might use nuclear weapons.

Although Obama has not yet written his Nuclear Posture Review, we'd like to share some related resources that can be found on the web:

• "The President's Nuclear Vision" Vice President Joe Biden's op-ed in the Wall Street Journal (January 29, 2010).
• In Vice President Biden's op-ed, he mentions The Report from the Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States (May 7, 2009).
• Find all manner of resources about U.S. nuclear strategy on the web site of the National Nuclear Security Administration.
