And how, exactly, would Iran use that nuke against the US?  FedEx it?  I don't believe that they have long-range missile capability.

While I don't like the idea of any more nukes on the planet, this seems to me to be more fear-mongering and saber-rattling.  As was mentioned before, where are we going to get these troops?

Unless,  of course, this whole thing is still for oil, and then I say let's nuke the fuckers and go get it, since apparently Georgia is the only state in the union with a significant oil shortage.  Not a single gas station with 5 miles of my home had gas today.  The official reason for the shortage is that Georgia's emission requirements mandate fuel with a lower sulfur content and the recent shutdowns in refining due to Gustav and Ike put a huge dent in reserves.  Methinks the oil companies see a bunch of dopes who aren't protected by our nitwit governor and the guppies in the state legislature, so GA goes hungry for gas.
