Amos,

I can neither confirm nor deny...

But I said
"And by some, especially those with active nuclear programs, as being unwilling to "risk American lives" even when we are threatened by WMD."

NOT the same thing, as you know. You want me to start telling the world what YOU said, and change the words and meaning?

Will you state that the US is NOT threatened by nuclear weapons, and other WMD? I am sure that the Russians, Chinese, North Koreans, Iranians, and others will hate to hear that all their efforts are null and void since YOU do not recognize the threat.
