ANOTHER HANNITY LIE

On his radio show, Hannity has repeatedly claimed that Pres. Obama wants to unilaterally remove nuclear weapons from America's arsenal. In fact, the President wants to move to reduce nuclear weapons globally, not unilaterally. As you can see from the report below, Hannity is not mistaken, he's lying.

Reporting from Washington and Prague, Czech Republic -- President Obama vowed Sunday to pursue the elimination of nuclear weapons from the planet, telling a cheering throng in Prague that the United States is ready to lead an international effort to reduce atomic arsenals and the threat they pose.

"We cannot succeed in this endeavor alone, but we can lead it."

In the outdoor speech, Obama promised to negotiate a strategic arms reduction treaty with Russia by the end of the year that will significantly reduce the number of nuclear warheads. A few days earlier, Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev agreed during meetings in London to produce a new arms control treaty to replace the current Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, known as START, that expires in December.

The president also called for strengthening the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, meant to allow access to nuclear power for nonmilitary use and to secure nuclear weapons and ingredients from terrorists.
