"For 20 years, three presidents of both major parties proclaimed that an Iranian nuclear weapon was contrary to American and global interests-and that they were prepared to use force to prevent it. Yet negotiations that began 12 years ago as an international effort to prevent an Iranian capability to develop a nuclear arsenal are ending with an agreement that concedes this very capability."-Former Secretaries of State Henry A. Kissinger and George P. Shultz, essay on the Obama Administration's "framework" nuclear deal with Iran, Wall Street Journal, April 7. [USAF] is trying to get back [to] taking a leading role in the nuclear debate in this country. We lead and execute two thirds of the nuclear triad, for Christ's sake. We should be in the middle of the policy debates on this issue. ... So the idea, as I told [USAF Gen.] Robin Rand, was go become the next Curtis LeMay. Bring this nuclear mission, no kidding, back to the front edge of Air Force attention every single day."-Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, USAF Chief of Staff, on the mission of the new head of Air Force Global Strike Command, remarks at an Air Force Association breakfast, April 2.
