    As a matter of cost-benefit analysis, using nuclear weapons would have been far more efficient than conventional forces in the ME.

    That said, we shouldn't have been pandering around in the ME to begin with. It's just that taxpayers shouldn't be obligated to spend more than needed to complete an objective, particularly when nontaxpayers are being engaged and accommodated.

    I'm sure we'd be an even bigger hit with the rest of the world than we are right now if we used nukes.

    Well, the reason I ask is that our military is planning just that and they have them in theater now. I can tell by the response that it must be ok if that is what they intend to do. It is my opinion that they will use them in Syria first then Iran. I do know that they intend on using them.I suppose the only question that remains is who gets hit first and will it lead to world war.

    You mean, turn the whole place into a pile of molten glass?

    Oh wait, you said "in" the Middle Ea4t, not "on" the Middle East. Never mind...

    - grin -

    So, I'm not sure I understand the question. Care to elaborate?

    Can the above question be more vague? The only information not hidden is Windows Millenial Edition and tactical nukes.

    Hm. They won't go after Syri* or Iran. That would be entirely nuts.

    The whole idea is sick but then we don't make the decisions. Just don't be surprised when they do for that is what they are planning.
