...Japan, incooperation with the emergent Navy Theater-Wide program? Would he be able to use our innovations to upgrade Israel’s Arrow missile defense? No, because Article IX prohibits such assistance: “Each Party undertakes not to transfer to other States, and not to deploy outside its national territory, ABM systems or their components limited by this Treaty.” The U.S. wouldn’t even be allowed to transfer “technical descriptions or blueprints of ABM systems and their components” to our allies.

The numbers may shift a little if it involves abrogating the ABM treaty, but it's too early to say whether...

Wal-Mart and Home Depot should both deliver good news, but we knew they would, and most Wall Street forecasters expect Rummy to make decent progress with the Russians by explaining the urgent post-Cold-War need for the world?s lone superpower to deploy a massive network of space-based weaponry against Osama bin Laden...
