… and another thing

Nuclear weapons and other questions

September

The Partnership for a Secure America has some questions for the presidential candidates:

As president, how would you strengthen international cooperation to prevent nuclear capabilities from falling into dangerous hands and turn [our current] failing grade into an “A”?
What alternative fuel, energy efficiency, and emissions reduction policies would you seek to implement nationally and internationally by the end of your first term as president in January 2013?
How will you elevate both the level and effectiveness of U.S. government development spending to advance our national security and foreign policy goals?
How will you reaffirm America’s global leadership in promoting human rights and the rule of law around the world?

As president, how will you actively engage China while encouraging it to become a stronger stakeholder in the international system?
The group is truly a bipartisan collection of former senators, national security advisors, former U.N. ambassadors. It includes the former chairman and vice chairman of the 9/11 Commission.

Earlier this month, it gave the U.S. government a “C” for its efforts to prevent a nuclear, chemical or biological attack on the United States.
