With the treaty could place monitoring stations through the country and get on-site inspections of suspicious events.

Now here's were you are wrong. This may explain why you thought it was a good idea.

Both Russia and China refused to allow monitoring stations. And if a suspicious event occurred, the treaty disallowed anyone from coming within 50 miles of the suspected site. And if someone cheated, and we even had proof then what? The Soviet Union routinely broke arms control treaties and there was nothing we could do about it short of going to war.

No, the more you know about this thing the worse it looks. I doubt the Democrats are going to make an issue of this. The last thing they want is for people to understand what was in this thing.
