Heh..I hear that and it certainly has an element of "feel good" to it but in all candor, in terms of a response to the WOT, I can't think of a scenario where we would use nukes.
Now, if we can pin it down to a particular state or country, yes, all options are open, including nukes.
Would anyone miss Syria if it went away? Show of hands?
That is the big problem, of course, right there.
Inert Metal Rods (3"by 6' Tungsten Rods) dropped from Geosynchronous Orbit Levels will be Quite Sufficient to create the "Level of Destruction" needed to eradicate ANY "Target!"
& NO "Radioactive Fallout Issues!"
Orbital Weapons make the use of "Nukes" less Necessary!
I Wonder if the States who sponsor Terrorism have ANY IDEA of the Level of Destructive Force they face.
We have NO NEED to use 'NUKES;--we've got BETTER, cleaner, More Precise & more destructive orbital weapons!
The "Terrorists"-& Their Sponsors- have NO IDEA how much we have restrained our response.
MECCA, MEDINA, QOM, TEHRAN, DAMASCUS exist by the THINNEST of Threads.
America's Patience is wearing Thin!
