I believe if the United States failed to ratify this treaty, our country would essentially lose any ability for international leadership in this field and international influence in the field.
we have two different requirements we have to meet: maintaining deterrence while at the same time working to decrease this threat of proliferation and nuclear terrorism.
I just wanted to make a really, I think, basic point on this issue, which is that we have, without doubt, the best military in the world.
I felt that this was a historic moment and that it was very important, because I believed that it comes at a time when the nuclear negotiations are making real progress, might in fact achieve their goal by the end of this administration.
