Even I think this is a bad idea

The Bush administration is planning to use nuclear weapons against Iran, to prevent it acquiring its own atomic warheads, claims an investigative writer with high-level Pentagon and intelligence contacts.

Oh man, this sucks.

Honestly, I think GW will do it too. After that, the only thing that will stop it from happening is if members of the military have the courage to stand up to him.

On the other hand, do we really want to take the chance that Iran will have nukes? It MIGHT help the diplomatic situation if the Iranians believe that we really are going to nuke them.

More info on the B61-11:

Seems like a MOAB or a couple of MOAB would level any research facilities.

The only arguement for using the B61 is the potential of its "earth-moving" ability to collapse any underground storage/research areas.

Looks like Dubya is about to out-Reagan himself. The threat of complete destruction only works if the threatenee gives a fuck. Expect Iran to call this bluff.

Obviously they do give a fuck. They certainly keep bringing the topic to the forefront as much as possible. If they went silent then I might worry.

I hope we do hit them with a buner buster nuke, those fuckers deserve it.

I agree, but WOW nuclear weapons in nothing to sneeze at.

You got that right. Nothing to sneeze at. But those fucking jerk offs over there only understand one thing and that is overwhelming force.

[ALLAN]

MOAB would just destroy whats on the surface, just like the BLU-82 does.
They need to get deep under the ground to hit the facilities.

Maybe the Rods frm God concept id further along than we know.

This is probably true, but remember, all the liberals will be screaming so loud about this idea Iran will probably have to take it seriously. It's not like we aren't already in the neighborhood. LOL

[jyro]

when all the liberals could be screaming so loud "why didn't bush stop Iran before they attacked the USA with a atom bomb" President Bush will do what he thinks is right to prevent that. Or, he will turn loose Israel do do as they want.
Actually, all Iran would have to do is nuke the Yellowstone supervolcano.

[SVTVenom]

Do it.

[636ryder]

well I'll b damned...I've actually loaded these before. The B61 is kinda hard to miss thanks to its shinyness. The 109 warhead actually has a better penetration depth, but it's not nuclear.

Now that would be scary. Wonder if a nuke would start it up.
