History shows that we might need to take advantage of nuclear weapons....Merely suggesting their use can be enough to get results, even if the enemy is sure you won’t use them.

[Should tactical nukes be used against ISIS?]

As Colonel Flagg once said on M*A*S*H, don't try to get on my good side ... :)

I could have seen a use at Tora Bora and Iran but Russia is doing a fine job of getting rid of their old ordnance on Syria.

Naaah. There’s plenty of outdated conventional ordinance in the world that needs to be used up.

No. The only way to save the world: Islam must be completely destroyed. Use the real deal. On Mecca. You can give them fair warning to evacuate. Tell them that it is a demonstration of the helplessness of Allah to stop it. Destroy Islam from the root. Before it destroys you! No other way. Act now! Time short! Do you realize that when France falls, her nuclear arsenal falls into the hands of Muhammed? Bomb the hell out of Mecca and tell Muslims the Truth: there is a God who loves them and does not want them to blow themselves to bits.

Where are you going to drop them? ISIS has no towns hell they don’t even have a country. Theirs is a guerilla war running from town to town and hiding behind civilians. They escape by hiding among civilians and then turn around and hit you again. They are like coyotes.

I have thought of just how effective Tac nukes would be if everything was planned well and properly executed.

“U.S. Pilots Confirm: Obama Admin Blocks 75 Percent of Islamic State Strikes”

Referring to an earlier post on Freepers. Obama is allied with ISIS.

A thousand one-ton precisely guided weapons would be more effective than a single megaton weapon. The art of weaponry has changed since the 2nd world war.

Won’t break the will to fight, or to die.

Personally i think it has to be absolutely of out of the box thinking.

Take several thousand hard core terrorist and completely erase all memories, not vegetables, erase their training to islam.

Then in a controlled environment flip them to christianity.

Then release them.

Small neutron weapons used wisely would be better than low-yield nuclear weapons...IMO

Go all Sam Cohen on them.

No way in hell!! Once that door is opened, it will not close. Conventional weaponry can do the job.
