The “expert” weighs in with his career-long, essentially 100% wrong opinion.

Yes. I agree. Three well placed nuclear devices would bring world peace for years to come.

Do it big mouth.

Note that Obama sent his lap dog out to make such a baseless statement. More information for the ISIS terrorists.

I want to see how those thermobaric (aerosol) bombs work in real life! Save the antiquities.
