Something about this survey makes no sense. Only 39% are in favor of torture to terrorist to get information but an amazing 25% advocate doing the whole village with a nuke? Am I missing something here? It's like, "aww, I don't want to be bothered right now, let's just kill 'em all."

"Torture known terrorists if they know details about future terrorist attacks in the U.S. won the backing of 39%."
The PC crowd has warped the thinking of this nation, 39% is far too low.

Only 1 in 4? Bad polling. (I hope.)

It's a meaningless poll. Obviously we aren't going to nuke anybody unless there's a very good reason to. So, what is the reason? I wouldn't have any idea how to answer such a dumb question.
Same with the torture question. What do they mean by torture? What is at stake? What kind of prisoner do we have here, and what crimes has he committed? Nobody likes the word "torture," but there are ways of questioning people that are not permanently damaging that might well be justified in given circumstances.

More than one in four Americans would go so far as to utilize nuclear bombs if need be "If need be", should be over 85%.

Only 1 in 4? Bad polling. (I hope.)Based on what I've read on FR, 1 in 4 favor nuking San Fransico.

"If need be", should be over 85%.I'd bet if the choice was between a draft or nukes, it'd be over 90%.

I just took a poll. My wife, myself and our 2 kids say nuke-'em. That's 100%. Seems pretty clear to me.

Well what's the point of our so called "torture"? Panties on the head and running half naked breasts on the terrorist. I wouldn't vote for that kind of treatment either seems more like a reward.

Don't worry. If terrorists ever do anything destructive enough to warrant nuclear retaliation, you can bet that the majority of Americans will consider such a response to be justified.
To: Doe Eyes
Oh, I dunno. The old saying about "a waste of a good bullet" comes to mind.

"Finally, the option of using nuclear weapons to attack terrorist facilities"
Why would you need a nuclear weapon to bomb a terrorist facility? Terrorist facilites are composed of what? A house with a small chem lab.... Or a guy making a car bomb...
I would say no to that. It would be a waste of a good nuclear weapon.
Stupid poll.......
To: MisterRepublican
No one polled me...I'd say torture them first, then nuke em.

Nobody likes the word "torture,"
I do. Especially when I read it in a sentence regarding terrorists.

We let the terrorists nuke San Francisco first, then we nuke them.
To: MisterRepublican
Nukes against terrorist? Sounds rather inefficient to me.
