Actually, since we've had verification, inspection, and destruction
activities going on jointly with Russia for more than a decade now,
which has been open to UN IAEC scrutiny, to comply with START treaty
measures, the US can be trusted far more than any other nation.
Now, I've seen US WMD, back in the late 1980s, and I knew lots of
people who worked on them daily for many years.
Given that career bureaucrats the world over have a constitutional
propensity to need to document every activity that every individual
within their organization engages in, it would be very hard to prove
that the US has no WMD. Any idiot with a google can find diagrams,
photos, and testimony online. To presume that this is all a put-on is
assuming a conspiracy larger than Manhattan Project, Magic/Enigma, and
the Stealth projects combined.
