Ahh, hell, and I'm going to Disneyland in a few hours. Hope they wait until the fireworks are over with before they nuke us.

If the US got a sniff about this, Iran would be a radioactive crater. Nuclear weapons are unique in the United States arsenal. They require only one man to give permission to use them, that's the sitting President of the United States. At any moment, we have sea based launchers ready and able to launch their full payload, hitting their targets within 40 minutes (an hour clock, if you count prep time.)

Nothing demonstrates to me that there isn't a secretary of defense nor a president ready, willing and able to order a strike, should it become necessary. And nothing in your breakdown indicates that the Iranians or anyone else is stupid enough to not realize that the one response the United States has made clear will always come from the use of WMDs against itself or it's allies.

They will not be attacking us, nor Israel with WMDs.

Irrelevant. This guy wants Tehran to become a glass parking lot. It's what he is hoping will happen.

Only problem is that the US will never use nukes unless attacked with WMD. And even then, probably not. The current politics are such that they have been effectively taken from the TOB. Even if we had a clear warning of an impending attack, we would wait.
