At this point in time..would this be required before such an attack could take place? I am unclear on this now..since the war now is on "Terror", rather than a specific country.

1. They may require
an act of stupidity first.... like reselecting the current resident of the WH.... then they can take it from there.....

Don't forget who is talking about tactical nukes being a "good" thing.... you don't have to look much further than D.C.

3. Agreed! But what about now..before election.
Could this happen without an act of congress?

2. Are you talking about a first strike?
Possibly--but remember Reagan's behavior in the 80's.
