Should tactical nuclear weapons be used in the ME ?
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.

Hindsight may be 20-20 but you can't "see" the future.
As a patriot, I respect you not because you're an American, not because you're a human being, nor because you're an Earthling. I respect you because you're a person.

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.
"This is revolution in the making
A ragtag movement set to takeover the nation
Now isn't that fun?
You just wanna make the world better, isn't that young?
Well, blessings to the youth then
And don't stop, until they let the truth in
Once there, never let it leave
And protect it, they'll catch it and never set it free" - Lupe Fiasco "The End of the World"

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.
sure use the nukes and get the show on the road... I love the smell of fire and brimsone with my morning coffee
can you say armageddon??
Because whenever unlimited power and self righteous compassion are united, you end up with a bunch of self righteous pricks spending other people's money and patting themselves on the back for being compassionate.

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.
