The turn of events in Paktia brings forward the prospect, revived this week, of the use of tactical nuclear weapons in the global war on terror.
This week the Los Angeles Times reported that President Bush had ordered the Pentagon to draw up contingency plans for the use of nuclear weapons and a list of seven nations for targeting: Five - North Korea, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Syria - are either terror sponsors or developers of weapons of mass destruction.
Military experts recall in this regard the announcement made by the American deputy secretary of state for disarmament, John Bolton, on February 21 that Washington had decided to depart from its traditional policy of nuclear non-use against non-nuclear powers. The exceptions would be made in the cases of terrorists, their sponsors and states developing weapons of mass destruction.
Bolton’s statement was received in Baghdad as a signla that the United States has decided to use nuclear weapons in its coming offensive, and Saddam Hussein regime has made preparation.
D. The US armed forces are looking harder at the development of small nuclear bombs for tactical use. Given the setbacks in Tora Bora and the Shah-e-Kot Valley - for lack of intelligence and reliable Afghan allied troops - US military planners may lean further towards the use of tactical nuclear weapons to finish off the Taliban and al Qaeda strongholds still defying conventional means of warfare.

Typical Yanks, over-react to everything. Perhaps if they had a better foreign policy they wouldn't be hated so much.

Won't the first time they've used nukes when they didn't have to

Geezer

With their track record, they'll end up blowing themselves up or the rest of the allied forces :(

I have laughed many times at some replies to posts
But this one of yours is one of the best!!!!

Has George Dubbya been watching Starship Troopers to much. I know he's meant to be a little short on the intelligence level, but surely he must know ST is a film and not a Documentry. :D

P.

A little war is always good for the economy...

Richard, you have stated in a post in the muppet forum that it is a hard top :confused:
