Not too familiar with the subject, but interested.

I read the pdf and what I understood is that nuclear weapons had one mission among others : response to CBW attack. Now they noted that conventional weapons could do the same, as long as the answer is devastating enough. Therefore no need of WMD's here.
It doesn't mean that suddenly, because they have a new capability the DoD will decide to launch it in every case. It has a strict function, which is publicly declared and coherent with their strategy.

Let's judge less the weapon and more its function.
