It would not be surprising IMO, if we see a tactical nuke deployed in a reomte location ofr Iran as a warning shot across the bow..

U.S. policy is to never introduce nuclear weapons into a conflict.

Not since Nagasaki, anyway.

To quote the Aristocats: "Ladies don't start fights, but they know how to finish them."

And the retort: "You ain't no lady. You ain't nothin' but a sister."

Cheers!

Under Presidential Decision Directive 65 or 69 (sorry, virus wiped out my computer this summer, and I lost it) - signed by President Clinton, America changed their nuclear posture and PUT nukes on the table in response to terrorist activity.

Ironically, Clinton did that in response to threats being made by Saddam Hussein, in the event he used biological or chemical weapons against our troops if we had to invade to bring him into compliance with various UN resolutions.

Of course, since this was under the Clinton Regime, the Dems forget all about it and claim that Bush lied...blah...blah...blah.

Doctrine for Joint Nuclear Operations


"Executing a nuclear option, or even a portion of an option, should send a clear signal of United States' resolve. Hence, options must be selected very carefully and deliberately so that the attack can help ensure the adversary recognizes the "signal" and should therefore not assume the United States has escalated to general nuclear war, although that perception cannot be guaranteed."

This may be true. But I'm worried about israel using nukes. I hear they have nukes and if they use them Russia, China, Syria, Egypt and the rest of the ME will enter the conflict.

Another worl conflict, and for what?

The world is going insane.
