Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

Kimball said Bush appears to be veering from long-standing U.S. policy, created in the context of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, that the United States would not use nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear nation unless that nation waged war against America in alliance with a nuclear state.
"This is a dangerous and ill-timed shift," Kimball said.
"It highlights the reality of the Bush administration's 'do as I say, not as I do' attitude toward weapons of mass destruction," Kimball said.
"Here we are in a just and responsible exercise trying to rid Iraq of nuclear weapons (development) but at the same time we are indirectly threatening the possible use of nuclear weapons," he added.
