U.S. Won't Resume Nuclear Tests for NowSecretary of State Colin Powell Says There's No Need for U.S. to Resume Nuclear Testing at the Moment
WASHINGTON Aug. 7 - Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday a resumption of U.S. nuclear testing could not be ruled out forever but there was no need to test now.
"The president has no intention of testing nuclear weapons," Powell said at a news conference. "We have no need to."
While the United States and other nuclear powers have a responsibility to keep their nuclear weapons stockpiles safe and reliable, "we see no need to test in order to do that at the moment," Powell said.
"We can't rule it out forever," he said, but "we have no plans to test" and the topic is not likely to be discussed by President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin at their meeting next month at Camp David in Maryland.
"No need to test." We hae proof there was no need to invade Iraq.
I remember when Bush kept declaring he had no invasion plans on his desk. It was techincally true…they were in his top desk drawer.
