| #7 John, the previous disarmament treaty had expired. This time around the Russians demanded new negotiations and O caved because it fits his agenda and those of his appointees. The ASD for Nuclear, Bio and Chem and the head of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency both come from the Nunn Lugar crowd on Capitol Hill. They believe that if we just show we're not threatening the other sides will happy set aside their own capabilities - and they point to the previous treaties with Russia as proof, IIUC. |

| #2 Why do you sound surprised? Not to say that you shouldn't BE surprised. But let's be honest; this is what we have all come to expect. Sad - yes. But true. |
