Nukes, Arabs and Islam go together like high school kids, whiskey and car keys on a Saturday night.

I'm sure U.S. and Russian nuclear weapon strategists have set aside a few deterrents for Islamic governments that decide to join the nuclear club. I'm also sure they know they are far more likely to actually have to use them, too.

We need some covert ops teams all over this, and they'd better make those who pose a danger to us disappear.

covert ops may not work in facilities like Libya's "Rabata II" (IIRC the name) ... it's a chemical warfare facility, built by the Germans I believe, and it's nestled deep in the mountains ... (the Germans built underground bunkers for Iraq in the 1980's as well) ... and you can bet slipping by security is next to impossible in a place like that ... taking out a facility like that requires nuclear "earthquake" weapons that are designed to shake the Earth in the impact area rather than using the heat / blast to destroy ... this is why some weapons have the "frangible" nose so that they land squarely, though against a mountain facility, it seems superfluous ... some I'm sure probably "burrow" before detonation ...
