1. Seems like a huge extrapolation. But anything is possible...
But I'm curious. We've got 'em but won't use them. Do you think the Israelis are likely to nuke someone?

2. I am having trouble following your logic. Can you explain how
more troops leads to nukes being used? It didn't in Vietnam, and I don't think it will here either. I'm against sending more troops in (bring the ones over there home, now, please), but this doesn't seem like the argument against it.

4. Don't be ridiculous. Depleted uranium isn't even close to nukes.
And do you have any idea how little depleted uranium is actually used in Iraq?
