I think some people give Bush a little too much credit (or blame). Did you not read the article? "internal USAF documents": probably a proposal written by a colonel or a general and passed along from burro-crat to burro-crat and seen as a good idea to keep on file. Doesn't mean it's gonna happen. Doesn't even mean that it's necessary.
Armed satellites in orbit?
You'd be suprised what we can do from the ground.
The same devices being devised for dealing with "space debris" can be used on "unfriendly" satellites. The same mirror that reflects starlight to an eyepiece can reflect a more intense light upward.

As far as tossing out the treaty: the treaty was irrelevant anyway. Russia (the only other signer) is in no position to violate it which makes honoring it a moot point.
