US should use nuclear option

I know the liberals scream and cry when using nukes is suggested, but
they are reacting to the word 'nuke' and the hollywood images of
slaughter from above rather than considering the actual pros and cons
of the deployment of modern, advanced tactical nuclear weaponry for
its own sake.

We already use 'bunker buster' fuel-air bombs to attack fortified
positions, but these weapons have their own limitations and often a
negative effect on the environment. Modern, clean nuclear weapons can
provide much more focused, shaped charges that can destroy fortified
positions with no concomitant loss of life outide the target area, as
one would expect from the large fuel-air bombs, which cannot shape the
charge nearly as effectively.

The US war aims always involve killing as few civilians as possible,
whilst disabling the capacity for belligerance and minimising
collateral damage. Modern, clean tactical nuclear weaponry can achieve
these aims on large fortified positions, whilst saving lifes that
would otherwise be lost to oxygen starvation.

Although many think that nuclear weapons are dirty, radioactive, etc,
and involve large amounts of fallout and great human misery, with
modern nuclear weapons such charges are completely false. The modern
nuke has no long term damage. It is really a flash in the pan.

Politically, too, there are advantages. The will to use such weapons
politically will send the (nuclear) wind up those nation states that
are still uncooperative with US war aims, such as the Saudis, Iran,
etc. Recently the Saudis refused to provide passenger lists to US
authorities of planes departing its soil for the US. This is the kind
of minimal cooperation the US has had across the Arab world, where the
common man, and the middle classes, expressed public 'sympathies' for
9/11 whilst privately gloating.

If the US wishes to stamp out global terrorism and halt those states,
such as Iraq, which back it and are developing nuclear and biological
capabilities of their own, then the US must be prepared to do whatever
it takes in the teeth of opposition.

i couldn't agree more with the suggestion in your post title, just as
long as the "use" is limited to a forty foot space directly above your
abysmally dumbass self.

Please, tell me that you don't have any launch codes in your little black
bag and that you are not running for any public office that actually might
have access to such weapons!

Imagine that ! I heard that they scream and cry when people
are killed other ways too. You, on the other hand, probably
do a little jig with the cameras rolling....

Interesting statement, coming a day after the Dresden
anniversary.
