Kerry on US-Russia Nuclear Agreement

[sandnsea]

“There is no greater danger to America’s security than the threat of nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists, which is why I have called for a comprehensive strategy to meet this threat.

“I applaud President Bush and President Putin for putting this back on their agenda, but more remains to be done to turn today’s promises into actual security. We can and we should unambiguously commit to securing nuclear weapons and materials in Russia and around the world in the next four years. There is no greater or more urgent task.

“The President must then act on the broader agenda to end the production of new fissile material for use in nuclear weapons, to reduce the existing stockpiles of nuclear weapons and materials, and to end nuclear weapons programs in hostile states like North Korea and Iran.

“Meeting these challenges requires sustained leadership and urgent action by President Bush to remove remaining obstacles to progress, and I call on him to rise to that challenge. America’s security demands no less.”

1. He is walking his talk, again. Bravo!

Remember the first presidential debate, y'all, when Kerry came out against the missile defense system? This is part of the whole deal.

I didn't notice this when I posted Pamela's piece. This is how the AP wrote it up:

"Lawmakers Hail US-Russia anti-terror nukes accord"

:wtf:
