Nuke Iran?
Never happen. Why? Our good offshoring buddies downwind. This is pure sabre rattling. And it makes America look like fools and madmen. So expect conventional airstrikes for months and a few 100,000 innocents dead. No big deal.

Support the troops.

2. Something else to look for
Right after the first air strike, look for the almost total annihilation of US military personnel in Iraq!!!

6. reason why it hasn't started already?
The fact that we would lose the lives of the thousands of service men in Iraq if GWB nuked Iran DOES NOT FACTOR INTO THESE MADMEN'S decision making in any way, shape or form!

When have these neocon PNAC Nazi's ever given a RAT'S ASS About our service men and women???

Only reason Iran isn't currently a sea of glass is the corporate oil interests can't figure out if they will or won't benefit from this action!

10. You're right
Cheney thinks about stealing oil more than a teenager thinks about sex.

5. But, it's fools and madmen in the US who do have control of government
Your argument makes sense for rational people.

However, I am not certain at all that Bush would care if hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of earth were converted into radioactive fallout and spread mostly across what he and his wacko supporters see as an Islamofascist leaning region of the world.

As irrational as below surface detonating nukes would be, I am not at all convinced he wouldn't see that as his being a tool of divine retribution.

8. But they have an answer that makes it OK
"The bombs will penetrate far underground before exploding, minimizing radiation at the surface."

The nuclear bunker buster was designed to evade the American conscience, and the plane it flies in can't be seen on radar.

9. If we'd never even think
about doing this, why was Cheney drawing up a plan to use nuclear bunker-busters against Iran way back in 2002?
