The Bushies are really letting their arrogance get out of hand by talking about possible nuke use. This kind of talk will double and redouble opposition to this tiny group of war mongering fanatics.

>>>As the Pentagon continues a highly visible buildup of troops and weapons in the Persian Gulf, it is also quietly preparing for the possible use of nuclear weapons in a war against Iraq, according to a report by a defense analyst. Although they consider such a strike unlikely, military planners have been actively studying lists of potential targets and considering options, including the possible use of so-called bunker-buster nuclear weapons against deeply buried military targets, says analyst William M. Arkin, who writes a regular column on defense matters for The Times.<<< So rather than send the UN inspectors down to these--are they known?--targets, the Bushtistas are considering dumping a nuke or few down the drain. Geez, the US may have smart weapons, but it certainly doesn't have a smart president!
