At the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Policy, Obama spoke against the use of nuclear weapons:

“I think it would be a profound mistake for us to use nuclear weapons in any circumstance … There’s been no discussion of nuclear weapons. That’s not on the table.”

Senator Barack Obama, August 1, 2007 (Reference: AP)

Hillary Clinton then attacked Obama for that statement:

“I think presidents should be very careful at all times in discussing the use, or non-use, of nuclear weapons. Presidents since the Cold War have used nuclear deterrence to keep the peace.. and I don’t believe that any president should make any blanket statements with respect to the use or non-use of nuclear weapons.”

Senator Hillary Clinton, August 1, 2007 (Reference: Reuters)

It turns out that Hillary was contracting her own statements from last year…

“I have said publicly no option should be off the table, but I would certainly take nuclear weapons off the table. This administration has been very willing to talk about using nuclear weapons in a way we haven’t seen since the dawn of a nuclear age. I think that’s a terrible mistake.”

- Senator Hillary Clinton, during April 2006 interview with Bloomberg Television (Reference: Boston Globe article)

Hillary, oh Hillary…
