Louis, any I.C.B.M. headed for U.S. territory is NOT assumed to be carrying mere E.M.P. warheads and thus I highly doubt such a vehicle headed our way absent a desperate and genuine plea from the source nation that it was a tragic mishap would be allowed to unload it's warheads before we were responding.
Ernest, the POTUS said we would not strike first, NOT that we would never retaliate.
However, that stated policy is unwise because ones want all foes, actual and potential, to think one is just crazy enough to do something a bit rash even if one merely being crazy like a fox. This generates its own deterrent effect without firing a shot.
