4.) Both the US and Russia have reduced the number of nuclear weapons and the talks continue to reduce the numbers even more. The nukes that have been dismantled are not stored for later repositioning, that would not be a reduction at all. They are completely dismantled under mutual observation. They send observers here and we send them there.

U.S. Nuclear Arsenal
NPR's Mike Shuster reports that though President Bush came into office pledging deep reductions in the country's arsenal of nuclear weapons, it's become clear the administration does not intend to destroy the warheads it takes out of service. And in some areas, the administration wants to expand the capacity to make and use nuclear weapons. (5:00)

This is where I got my point about nuclear disarmament. I'm not making it up, I did hear it on NPR. Which by the way is probably the most non-biased news source I know of.
