Premptive Nuclear Option?!?!
I have to wonder if the Executive branch of the US Government has lost it's mind, or simply lost touch with reality. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have released a draft report awaiting the signature of Donald Rumsfeld that would ultimately loosen the restrictions on the use of nuclear weapons on the battlefield and would allow for pre-emptive nuclear attacks on terrorist groups or nations that posess weapons of mass destruction, or to secure a rapid end to a war on US terms, or "to ensure success of U.S and multinational operations."
This opens the door for:
- A nuclear attack upon the tunnel systems where Osama bin Laden is beleived to be hiding.
- Turning North Korea and/or Iran into a radioactive parking lot.
Not good... not good at all.
