if we nuked tora bora and fallujah, there may have been extremely nasty international backlash and protests at home, but we would be looking at expanding our majority in the house by 10-20 seats and have gained 5 or 6 senate seats...
No, we wouldn't, because the allies who are with us today would not have stayed with us if we'd 'nuked' anybody, and the Republicans would be even more 'persona non grata' than they were this election.
