Obama is masking the real issues over nuclear weapons by presenting the idea that nuclear terrorism is a major threat, shared Michel Chossudovsky, Director of the Canadian Centre for Research on Globalization.
“What is disturbing about this summit in Washington is the fact that the real threat to global security is nuclear war between countries. It is not Al-Qaeda which in any event is not able to constitute intelligence as set by the CIA,” Chossudovsky acknowledged. “It is an elusive network of organizations. The real threat is the threat of nuclear war and particularly the threat of a nuclear attack by the United States and Israel directed against Iran.”
In addition, the summit was useful for the US to establish dialogue with China and Russia regarding the nuclear program of Iran, thinks Chossudovsky. Both China and Russia are strictly against military actions against Iran and do not support economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic, while Obama recently issued a new military nuclear doctrine that admits using nuclear weapons against “rogue states” – implying Iran to be one of them.
“All the NATO countries, headed by the US and including Israel, they have nuclear weapons targeted at Iran,” noted Chossudovsky.
He stated that “The nuclear summit is in fact a smokescreen, a camouflage of the real dangers of nuclear war.”

America’s demand to transfer nuclear materials to some safe place in the US is an absurd operation, believes Chossudovsky.
Michel Chossudovsky told RT that: “As far as it goes, in the present context, the US is the most dangerous threat to global security and what this conference aims at achieving is to diffuse this understanding. It’s a PR campaign which seeks to present the nuclear threat in some distorted way, so that people who listen to the media report will believe that Al-Qaeda, Bin Laden and global terrorism is the issue, rather than the strategic objectives of the US which include now the preemptive use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states.”
“At this stage the US administration is not interested in negotiating, it is interested in creating an environment which will justify a possible nuclear attack on Iran,” concluded Chossudovsky.

I'm very disturbed that this guy comes from my own city. The summit was a great idea, and achieved some very fine objectives. If those people supporting Iran's 'right' to nuclear technology want to stick their heads in the sand, and call every report and solid piece of evidence the contradicts their beliefs that Iran isn't actively pursuing a nuclear weapon's program 'lies', well, that can't be helped. There are many married women out there who do the same thing when confronted with proof of their husband's betrayal, too.
Even of the Russian President acted clueless either by design or perhaps he was star struck with Obama, it is refreshing to see RT has decided bring on people with expert knowledge to corroborate with all of us have suspected: that this nuclear summit in Washington DC was a fake conference and that the United States represents the graves threat to global society at the moment so much so it has the power to threaten the world with its military power. This threat to would security happened with the 1930s rise of the Third Reich. Let us hope the world does not have to face similar fate this time around.
It is Power & Greed to be powerful any situation, It is a pity that these guys still do not realise that Nature is the most powerful thing on the Universe, just bullying some weak will surely destroy everything on the earth where they do belong! Obama is another Politician, American Politician, So he surely need to Learn a Lot, He has to keep showing such threats to his people so that he can hide his weakness
