...terrorism, nobody was going to challenge that logic. Moreover the spectacle of Russia's President Vladimir Putin chowing down on barbecue at the Bush ranch allayed fears of new tensions with Moscow, even though the bonhomie failed to produce an agreement to allow the U.S. to proceed. A successful test of a missile interceptor vehicle in November buoyed the administration's confidence, and President Bush looks set to announce U.S. withdrawal from the ABM treaty this week.
