Bush approves nuclear response

Now that's a sensationalistic headline if ever I've read one.

[Mo1]

Is it me .. or does it seem like the they keep recycling old news??

[sonofatpatcher2]

If it comes down to it, I'm for nuking Iraq if they use WMDs on our troops or anyone else.

Okay, it is easy to write this on a computer screen, but I've been on the receiving end of a bullet and I've smelt the bad breath of a man I just killed with my K-Bar, so I feel I have a small right to speak.

So, to hell with world opinion! If by using our nukes to save lives (both ours and theirs) in the long run was the right thing to do to end WW2, then I say do it to end the War on Terror.

For the record, nuclear weapons have always been regarded as a deterrent in "N.B.C. Warfare," without finessing the connections of N to N, B to B, and C to C.

"...apparently changing a decades-old U.S. policy of deliberate ambiguity..."

Frankly, I'm proud and honored to have a President who is deliverately unambiguous.

[Quix]

Seems sensible to me.

Horrid but sensible, necessary.

When I was in the military, this doctrine was a given.

If President Bush wants to make it clear as day, MORE power to him. These terrorists do not respond to ambiguity, you have to hit them in the head with a hammer, and the threat of a nuke in response is an awfully big hammer.

Well boys, I reckon this is it. Nuclear-biological combat, toe-to-toe with the Iraqis.

DoD News: Special Briefing on the Nuclear Posture Review (1/15/02)

[kabar]

Secretary Baker conveyed a similar message to Iraq prior to the Gulf War letting them know that any WMD attack us would be met with devastating force including the use of nuclear weapons. Just a shot across the bow to let them know what the consequences will be should they be foolish enough to launch a chem/bio attack. North Korea should also heed this message.

[ewing]

I think this is referring to the small load bunker busting nukes were tested lately in Nevada.

[Semper Paratus]

Interesting the timing of this release.
Sadaam may need to reinforce his bunkers a bit.

Depending on where the potential strike(s) occur,
would the residual radiation muck up the oil fields
for any significant amount of time?

[anniegetyourgun]

I done told ya' and told ya'....we should have NO stated position on this issue. The world should always be left wondering - will she, or won't she?
