The truth is out: Bush's new nuclear stance

The truth is out. According to a confidential Pentagon document, the US government's masterplan for total global domination now includes using its nuclear weapons pre-emptively - even in conventional war situations.

A draft of "Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations" shows that instead of reducing the role of nuclear weapons as originally promised, the Bush administration is pushing aggressive new policies that are set to become normal US military practice.

Summary

We now have an extraordinary opportunity to deal with the threat of nuclear weapons. There is no military conflict between the great economic and technological powers. Indeed, they cooperate on a daily basis on trade, investment, health and many other issues. Moreover, the late 1980s and most of the 1990s saw the creation of a positive circle in which citizen action, political initiatives, disarmament treaties and independent verification reinforced each other.

Greenpeace opposes nuclear power not only because it is an expensive and hazardous way to produce electricity but also because it is also a key way for countries to gain access to the technology and materials needed to develop nuclear weapons.

Summary

Controlling who has access to nuclear materials, technology and information has a clear role to play in controlling nuclear weapons proliferation, but should not be seen as a replacement for solid steps towards elimination of nuclear weapons. This briefing provides a critique of President Bush's February 2004 non-proliferation policy announcement which does not support this view.

The draft treaty text will be presented to the UK and other ambassadors attending the United Nation's Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) meeting in New York today (4th May).
