The Nuclear Security Summit will do little to accelerate a campaign goal laid out by then-candidate Barack Obama to secure all nuclear material internationally by the end of his first term, Ted Bromund, a Senior Research Fellow with a focus on American Leadership and Terrorism at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told Talk Radio News Monday.
"These are excellent aims for the President to pursue," Bromund said. "But he's going about them in ways that will achieve absolutely nothing."
Bromund said the summit will fail to be effective since it will not deter countries like Iran and North Korea from pursuing and maintaining nuclear capabilities.
"There's no reason why a summit meeting, even with the 46 nations attending, is going to convince Iran to stop doing something that it's done enthusiastically for more than a decade," Bromund said.
