Hmm, Clinton liked to follow the polls. Ironic that this would make Clinton more likely to nuke than Bush! IMO it's not time yet. Unless Osama is buried deep in bunkers.

IMO it's not time yet.

"YET" is the key word.

I talked to a liberal this morning. She said, we should never use them. "Yet" just never comes. If we aren't willing to use them, why have them. If we won't use them, then we can't claim to be a super power. We consistantly make the mistake of fighting wars at "their" level. When our enemy knows we won't use nukes, they have no fear of us.

yet... Like Mullah said, "No target in Afghanistan is worth the cost of a single U.S. missile."

Wait until Iraq or Syria do something stupid. Then nuke them

As much as We the people, myself included might want to nuke these bastards. It will never happen, It would plunge the world into Chaos or so the Politicians tell us. But to quote Joel in Risky Business "Sometime you just have to say, What the f**k."

Oh, so this is the America we want God to bless?! A country
that heedlessly incinerates our fellow human beings.
Just great.

I suspect most of those polled on the pro-nukem side are a
little short on the brainpower supply...but having felt a
nuke go off, I suggest anyone calling for their use in
these days better stick to polishing their deer rifle and
stop this dopey blathering.

IMHO, no; we should only use these weapons in self defense. I'm as impatient as the next red-blooded American, but let's not go overboard with this. Now, if these worms detonate a nuke or some other biological or chemical agents, that would be sufficient provocation. But short of that, even as heinous as the WTC/Pentagon attacks are, we should use conventional force to rub out the Al-Queda network. Let the CIA and special military teams kill these charlatans, and secretly, without publicizing the fact. They're dirty, so let's get dirtier!!!!!

We nuke Afghanistan.

China nukes Taiwan.

We nuke China.

Pakistan nukes India.

India nukes Pakistan.

Russia nukes Alaska because they think we'll nuke them next.

Where does it end?

This is a genie we don't want out of the bottle until it is ABSOLUTELY necessary.

You never need to use them UNTIL you face a suicidal enemy who, once he obtains them, will have no compunction about using them on you.

(We're unfortunately coming close to meeting alot of these criteria in the current scenario.)
