The best possibel tactic is to nuke Afhanistan?

Agree Bluemonday ,that no country wil use nukes in this situation, as it is no.

But notice I said "nukes are the tools of madmen," perhaps a madman like Usama Bin Laden would use one in the name of Islamic supremecy. <hr></blockquote>

i have once seen a documentary about missing nuke-suitcase's from Russia.Around the 70's Russia constructed about a 100 mini nukes hidden in suite-case's.But with the fall of communism ,a lot of those suite-case's have been lost.Russian's fear that somebody sold such suite-case's to "the highest bidder".The are not so powerfull those mini nukes.Strong enough though to wipe out a city of face of the earth.<br />It are excelent terrorism tools.The best you can find.

I hope that no crazy ass terrorist has gotten his hands on one of those.

Hey....I think I bought one of those. I thought $300,000 was kind of expensive for a suit case.....hey....a red button. I wonder what it does. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

But really...I was at Apolyton today and reading a post about different ways to invade/attack Afghanstan. Some very interesting stuff!!! Most of them are more conserative then the CivFanatics. <img src="icon12.gif" border="0">

Seriously ,give it a test...
 
No nukes = good nukes.

However - I think it would be very good to manouver a few ships w/ nuclear missles, and a few planes w/ nuclear payloads, into the area (or at least hint that we are).

For deterence purposes, of course.

Some bad karma from some of our European allies, but the intimidation factor might more than make up for it.

"As soon as Russia saw a nuclear launch, it would send all of it's up and then we'd have to send all of ours up. Bad mojo!"

Tactical nukes can be dropped from planes, or shot from heavy artillery. We don't need to send ICBMs over polar routes (Russia) to use them, as long as they are the small, tactical kind.

Although using a low-yield nuke to wipe out bin Laden's compounds would send a chilling signal to such terrorists, I'd overall be against it--unless it's the only way to do it given the terrain or fortifications, which I doubt.... "Nukes", even little ones that destroy only military targets, carry too many bad connotations--and we don't need that right now....
 
I am sure that cooler heads are in charge over at the top of the American military establishment and that the American President and his staff and advisors will have consider all options and their 'price' before deciding on a course of action. At this point in time, it is more important to gather information. Like for example, where exactly is Osama in Afghanistan? I read somewhere he never stays in the same place for more than 2 days in a row. <br />At the end of the day, the important thing is that the actual perpertrators of this hideous crime are brought to justice, whether earthly or divine. If innocents are harmed or even killed in the course of pursuing the original terrorists, it may bring on even more terrorism in the future.
 
You guys are funny - ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
 
...you nuke afghanistan and PAkistan will nuke Israel...and why not?
