U.S. Weighs Tactical Nuclear Strike on Iraq

The LA Times is reporting that the US military is "quietly preparing for the possible use of nuclear weapons in a war against Iraq," according to a report by a defense analyst William Arkin. Again, no surprise, as this has been clearly articulated in the Nuclear Posture Review, which Arkin first reported, as well as subsequent revelations in the press. Still, it's alarming, especially when we have trilobytes continually lauding our "moral clarity" in this "war on terror".
