Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Iran to take US to UN over 'threat'

The question is, why isn't the US nuclear policy simply "we will not use a nuclear weapon first" instaed of this non-sense.

what kind of savagery is threatening to use a nuclear weapon first against a country that "might" have one or might be working on one, especially after a million Iraqis have died because "maybe" Saddam had 'chemical weapons'.

Surely the combined conventional arms of America and it's allies in the region are sufficient to defend against iran, so why an ambiguous nuclear threat?

I seriously question Obama's 'liberal' credentials and the Nobel Peace Prize which was given to him.

I seriously doubt anyone beleives the US would ever use WMDs against a country first. Thus whatever speech we make to the contrary is pointless. The only scenario I could ever see us using nukes would be if a superpower like china or russia were about to fire theirs off at someone.

On a side note, the UN is continuing to prove what a useless org it is.
