The nuke threats in the Gulf War was a bluff. We weren't going to nuke anything then and we won't now (regardless of what I personally wish we would do).

Exactly. We're still pussyfooting around in Afghanistan. It's part of Bush's "compassionate warfare" strategy that leads to years of our troops being trapped in third-world hells.

I agree. We can accomplish all our goals with minimum casulties with out it. (Now Saddam, when he realises it's over, may unleash one in an attempt to make it look like we did it.)
