Re: "Defining the rules under which nuclear weapons can be used makes perfect sense. It reduces the probability that they WILL be used."

That used to be the case, but no longer, IMO. I believe this administration is definitely thinking how and when it can use "limited" nuclear devices to make a statement.

Once this cat is out of the bag, then it changes the rules of warfare forever. Which I'm sure probably pleases a lot of hawks in the Pentagon.

A question that has not been addressed, to my knowledge, since the nuclear agenda was intentionally leaked is what is the reaction of our allies? For starters, I think you will see increasing pressure in the UK for Blair to distance himself from GWB and the bellicose American generals.
