All I want for Christmas is rational nuclear deterrence. Tall order, but I’ve done everything I can to stay on Santa’s Nice list.

As Mary Chestnut noted, Obama’s 2010 Nuclear Posture Review is being updated by the new administration. Early this year Congressman Ted Lieu (Dem., Los Angeles) and Senator Ed Markey (Dem., Massachusetts) introduced tiny pieces of legislation intended to bar the President from nuclear first use. Three weeks ago, Senator Bob Corker called the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (SFRC) to take testimony on nuclear command and control authority.
