The Bush administration says it doesn’t want anyone to enforce a nuclear weapons treaty it supports:
The Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty would ban the production of highly enriched uranium and plutonium for weapons. In the works for 10 years, it was the result of collaboration among 66 nations, in part to tighten control over India, Pakistan and Israel which until now had rebuffed any effort to curb their nuclear stockpiles.
But the White House tossed in a monkey wrench: In a dumbfounding announcement, the administration said it supported the treaty, but not its call for inspections and verifications, without which the treaty is meaningless.
In other words, the administration wants everyone but America to follow the treaty.
So much for that tough talk about stopping the spread of nuclear weapons.
