In the same four years, Bush pushed a war claiming it was to get at Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, while pulling out of the ABM treaty with Russia (loosing controls on WMD there), and now gutting a treaty banning production of uranium and plutonium (again, loosing controls on WMD production).
How can Bush take contradictory actions? Because he lies about his motives.
He guts treaties, because he's an America Firster, and doesn't want the US to have to answer to international bodies, or even have made any promises to other countries. And his motivation against Saddamm was not WMD, but personal revenge for affronts against his dad -- an insult to the good men and women in uniform over there who are dying for a cause that Bush said exists, but didn't.
