Obama's Nuclear Posture Review: Or, We Won't Nuke You Unless You Are a Really Bad Country, or We Change Our Minds

by Robert M. Gates

Overview

The full text of the 2010 Nuclear Posture Review submitted to President Obama by Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates. This document lays out the nuclear strategy for the United States. The most important provision of the document is a revision of the declared conditions under which the United States would carry out first use of nuclear weapons. Liberals regard this as a "no change" document, conservatives as a dangerously wimpy concession to political correctness. Own and read the full text and judge for yourself.
