I never mentioned nukes by the way, I said our Air Force might be more useful (in reference to the article) if we allowed them to bomb the enemy out of existence.

Well I will mention nukes. I personally believe that if we had employed tactical nuclear arms against the terrorist infrastructure in Afghanistan right after 9/11, we'd have avoided much of Iran's saber rattling. No one fears American nuclear weaponry because they all, rightly, believe that we won't use them.

Not to mention that most of the terrorists were located in the countryside in Afghanistan. If ever there were a 'good' place to use such weapons so as to minimize collateral casualties, that was it.

I won’t argue with you there.

btw, imo, you were correct in your P51 Mustang statement. ;-)
