Problem with us nuking 1st, the rest of the world we be able to say "the US did it 1st" as they let em fly...we have enough conventional weapons to smash anyone and anything to kingdom come. Just need to put all the politically correct toejame in the closet while we wage a war as it is supposed to be waged.
Eagler, I assure you that I am the most politically incorrect person on this bbs, at least I am in the race.
I can also say this and believe it to be a true as it can be, barring any change in policy. The USA will not use a tactical or strategic nuclear weapon in operation Enduring Freedom. Even if we are attacked by one of the "nuclear weapons" that we believe may be held by terrorist. Those weapons do not provide a high yield, more of a dirty yield. While it would be dispicable and definately takes this war to a new level, I seriously doubt the USA will retaliate in kind, or use a tact or strat nuke.
My reasoning is this. We are at war with the terrorist organization(s). We are even sending food along with destruction to prove it. The terrorist are at war with the "western world" They have no problem killing western non-combabtents, to them it is glory to "their god". To different objectives all together.
Just the way I see it.
