Return of US Nuclear Weapons to Korea?

This claim seems a bit pre-mature to me:

Seoul and Washington will add use of nuclear arms by U.S. forces in response to North Korean atomic weapons in a joint operation strategy codenamed OPLAN 5027, sources said Thursday. That would mean the return of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons to South Korea 15 years after they were pulled out in 1991.

At the 28th Military Committee Meeting (MCM) between the allies, Gen. Lee Sang-hee, the chairman of South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff met his U.S. counterpart Gen. Peter Pace in Washington on Wednesday. The two mandated U.S. Forces Korea Commander Gen. Burwell Bell to draw up plans for the U.S. provision of a nuclear umbrella for South Korea in the wake of the North’s nuclear test, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.

I would personally be very surprised if the US redeploys nuclear weapons to the Korean peninsula. First of all the US is trying to decrease the force footprint in Korea not increase it, plus what signal would that send to the North Koreans? This would confirm their hostile rhetoric of why the need nuclear weapons, to defend themselves from American conventional and nuclear attack. The best way to defend out troops is not put more nukes on the peninsula but to continue to move forward with the USFK transformation and draw down of forces despite all the outside actors trying to stop it.
