Roytov.com: Netanyahu Nukes Obama?

On April 22, 2012, The Washington Post published an Op-Ed named "Nuclear weapon reductions must be part of strategic analysis," by Henry A Kissinger and Brent Scowcroft. Henry A Kissinger was secretary of state from 1973 to 1977, and national security adviser from 1969 to 1975. Brent Scowcroft was national security adviser from 1975 to 1977 and national security adviser from 1969 to 1975. Brent Scowcroft was national security adviser from 1975 to 1977 and 1989 to 1993. The article analyzed the USA nuclear weapons strategy from a viewpoint that matches President Obama's position: "Regardless of one's vision of the ultimate future of nuclear weapons,the overarching goal of contemporary US nuclear policy must be to ensure that nuclear weapons are never used." The article endorsed the new START treaty between the USA and Russia: "Combined with reductions in the US defense budget, this will bring the number of nuclear weapons in the United States to the lowest overall level since the 1950's. The Obama administration is said to be considering negotiations for a new round of nuclear reductions to bring about ceilings as low as 300 warheads." Kissinger explicitly says in the article that he favors the elimination of nuclear weapons, "albeit with the proviso that a series of verifiable intermediate steps that maintain stability precede such an end point, and that every stage of the process be fully transparent and verifiable." Yet, not everything is rosy in Kissinger's vision of the future. The article defined eight key facts that should govern such a disarmament policy. One of them discloses the extent of the self-deceptive strategic analyses prepared by the top level of the American establishment.
