DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- The United States should scrap a significant portion of its nuclear arsenal, Sen. John McCain said Tuesday in a speech laying out his nuclear security policy.
McCain also spoke about canceling the development of nuclear "bunker-busting" bombs and working with Russia and China to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
"Today we deploy thousands of nuclear warheads. It is my hope to move as rapidly as possible to a significantly smaller force," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said at the University of Denver.
Protesters interrupted McCain's speech four times. The hecklers were escorted out of the room and shouted down by others in the audience chanting the candidate's name.
"This may turn into a longer speech than you had anticipated," McCain said with a wry grin after one of the interruptions.

Calling all those wayward Freepers who keep telling us we MUST vote for McCain.
“It’s nothing new and nothing shocking.”
RIGHT! Obviously speaking for the brotherhood over at CFR.
Oh complete Bullshirt. If not for the WOT, I wouldn't support the idiot at all, BUT...credit where credit is due and you are helping the REAL Jimmy Carter Lite, Barack Obama, by saying such a thing. Barack Hussein Obama, Hamas meetings, anti-Semitism and promise to bend over and hand the KY to al Qaeda is far worse than McCain could ever dream.
Appeasement is all the rage these days.
No, They do not.
War on terror - would you like to BE ALIVE TO b*tch about how liberal ANY politician is?? Obama promises to cut and rum, McCain promises to stay the course, dammit!
Taxes: McCain wants to make the tax cuts permanent, Obama wants toraise taxes, regulate your thermostat next winter as well as whether you can own or put fuel into your evil SUV, because EUro's might complain.
Abortion: McCain pro-life, Obama, pro-death.
Did I mention Obama running around with Loony Louie's Nation of Islam bodyguards??
I HATE having to defend McCain, it's almost as bad as sticking up for Hillary, but DAMMIT, stop with the totally BS text bytes! You are LYING, STOP IT!
Hmmm... I looked it up prior to posting because I didn’t want to get it wrong. The number I got was 1300 warheads.
Whatever that traitor Bill Clinton did, I hope to high heaven McCain makes clear exactly what kind of reduction he’s shooting for... Five or ten percent won’t make us significantly safer imho, and a whole lot more than that is just plain crazy.
Obama, being lankier, can achieve lift off with a good headwind..
