Tucked away inside a largely fawning Newsweek article (go figure) is this jarring revelation:
According to a knowledgeable source who would not be identified discussing sensitive national-security matters, President Obama wasn’t briefed on the U.S. nuclear-strike plan against Russia and China until some months after he had taken office. “He thought it was insane,” says the source. (The reason for the delay is unclear; the White House did not respond to repeated inquiries.)
Wow. Granted this is an anonymous source, but given Obama’s irrational belief in a nuke-free world has been one of the guiding policy goals of his brief national career — this accusation doesn’t seem unbelievable.
