The article presents a response to an essay entitled "The Rise of U.S. Nuclear Primacy," by Keir Lieber and Daryl Press. The original paper claimed that the Pentagon structured the United States' nuclear arsenal to a goal of deterring nuclear attack on the United States, which the author claims is a mischaracterization of U.S. policy. Declassified documents and public statements from individuals including Defense Secretaries Robert McNamara and Clark Clifford are used to support the author's assertion.

The article presents a response to an essay entitled "The Rise of U.S. Nuclear Primacy," by Keir Lieber and Daryl Press. The author refutes the original paper's assertions that United States nuclear policy is geared towards making the U.S. the world's supreme nuclear power, alleging that the U.S. Air Force is actively upgrading its nuclear arsenal to make it more lethal.

This article focuses on the varying strategies of United States presidential candidates George W. Bush and John Kerry for the nuclear disarmament of North Korea. Unkeen, despite repeated Republican taunts, to reveal the names of the mystery foreign leaders that he has claimed are rooting for him in the election, John Kerry can hardly be pleased with the one endorsement he does appear to have won--from North Korea's boss, Kim Jong Il. Senior Bush people claim Mr Kim would break out the champagne at a Kerry victory, seeing him as a soft touch. Democrats claim the growing North Korean nuclear threat proves that George Bush's high-handed manner with friend and foe alike has made America less safe. Mr Kerry has long said he would deal with the nuclear issue in direct talks, as North Korea has been demanding, rather than through more cumbersome, and so far unsuccessful, six-way talks that also include South Korea, Japan, China and Russia. But there are few illusions, even among Democrats, that there is an easy deal to be had. Given North Korea's mendacious past, any deal would need tough verification rules to convince Congress that it was worth the paper it was written on.
