BUSH-TOPIA Miss me yet?" The glow of President George W. Bush on the public radar is intensifying, powered by revelations in recently leaked WikiLeaks documents that chemical weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq, thus neutralizing "leftist folklore" about the war in Iraq, says Newsbusters.com analyst Tom Blumer. Also consider that Sarah Palin added Mr. Bush to her talking points in a fundraising speech on Saturday, pairing up "good old Reaganism" and the gutsy "we win and you lose" aspects of Mr. Bush's national security policy.
On November 14, 1994, by Executive Order 12938, the President declared a national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States posed by the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons (weapons of mass destruction) and the means of delivering such weapons.
For the last several decades the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction has been considered a major threat to international security. Both chemical and biological weapons are universally banned. Nuclear weapons, however, are regulated by a more complicated international regime. This essay begins with a general survey of the literature on nuclear proliferation. Specifically, in the first part the author addresses the question why countries seek to acquire nuclear weapons. To answer, the article examines five theoretical models: globalization and technological imperative; leadership/cognitive and psychological approaches; internal dynamics and domestic politics model; national pride and prestige; and security. The section that follows addresses the question of how countries are 'per...

WASHINGTON, July 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A new report released by the Congressional Research Service today details the number of chemical facilities in each state that could make a tempting target for terrorists. The report comes on the heels of an admission from the Bush Administration that its voluntary approach to securing chemical plants has failed. A Senate Committee is drafting proposed new rules for chemical security. The report shows that this is not just a problem along the New Jersey Turnpike," said Andy Igrejas who watchdogs the chemical industry for the National Environmental Trust. "There are plants that put hundreds of thousands - even millions - of people at risk in the deep south, mid-west, and western states as well.

The Senate Intelligence Committee's 521-page critique of pre-Iraq War intelligence is more than a shot across the bow of US intelligence agencies. The review concludes that the government's intelligence agencies, in particular the Central Intelligence Agency - their conduit to the president - assumed a lot about Iraq's efforts to build and use weapons of mass destruction, including chemical, biological and nuclear devices. Many of their assumptions were wrong, which is problematic since President Bush used them in issuing his call to upend Saddam Hussein to save the world from his WMD. The botched analysis was manifest in an October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), which supposedly represented the consensus of all 14 intelligence agencies. But Senate investigators found report...
