No politican living today (including G.W.) has the guts to launch a nuke.

Democrats will scream if he does and they'll scream if something bad happens and Bush didn't. Bush has done a pretty good job of ignoring Democrat and MSM caterwauling.

You are most likely correct, but that will mean little AFTER millions of our citizens are dead. As for the possibility of a satelite launch, we recognized long ago with Sputnik that if you can put up a satelite, you can also lob an ICBM to any point on Earth.

We generally live in a fantasy world. There are thousands of nukes out there, and the history of mankind tells us eventually weapons get used. The N Korean capability should get stomped out.

No politican living today (including G.W.) has the guts to launch a nuke.

Fortunately, in the event of a launch against the USA, the procedures in place do not require a "politician".
