She says President Bush has "dangerously put the cart before the horse" when referring to a special type of nuclear bomb called a bunkerbuster (B61-11). Bill Clinton did the same as President Bush when dealing with the "bunkerbuster" nuclear bombs.
She also wrongly says that President Bush is "planning to rush ahead with new nuclear weapons". She doesn't know that bunkerbuster nukes are not new. Versions of bunkerbusters have been around since the 1970's. Her own husband was the first president in history to deploy bunkerbuster nukes (B61-11) for use in war. Prior presidents all of the way back to Carter did not deploy bunkerbuster nukes.
She also fails to know that during Bill Clintons presidency, bunkerbuster (B61-11) missile tests were performed. This picture shows the missile flying through a thick concrete wall. http://www.fas.org/faspir/2001/v54n1/blu-113-2.gif

Full Hillary Clinton quote:
"The Bush administration has dangerously put the cart before the horse, planning to rush ahead with new nuclear weapons without any considered assessment of what we need these weapons for or what the impact of building them would be on our effort to stop the spread of nuclear weapons around the world. That is why I oppose the Bush Administration's plans for the Reliable Replacement Warhead and that is why I have voted consistently to block funding for the
Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator, "bunkerbuster," warhead."
