I am sure it is not lost on the President, nor is it lacking in the Pentagon option report, that we have some 1,750 nuclear bombs and cruise missiles ready to be launched from B-2 and B-52 bombers, and 1,670 tactical nuclear weapons at the ready.
Again, most assuredly, the nuclear option is in the report that sits on the President's desk this a.m. I for one encourage him to use strategic nuclear weapons if our adversary does the unthinkable...and we need to also deliver that message in the form of an ultimatum, at the appropriate time, to Saddam Hussein via his envoy in New York City, Ambassador Mohammed Aldouri, Permanent Representative of Iraq to the United Nations.
