GOP Rep. Duncan Hunter: Nuke Iran! [View all]

Forget John McCains bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb-bomb Iran how about tactically nuke Iran instead? Thats the advice, at least, offered on Wednesday by Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter.
Speaking during an interview on C-SPAN, Hunter recommended the United States implement tactical nuclear devices in the event of an armed confrontation with Iran. I think if you have to hit Iran, you dont put boots on the ground, Hunter said. You do it with tactical nuclear devices, and you set them back a decade or two or three.
While Hunter said he sure as hell hopes theres no war between the U.S. and Iran, he also disparaged the recent deal struck between the global community and Iran, saying, I dont think this does anything, frankly. ...........
Despite Hunters skepticism about diplomacy, however, the California representative was willing to acknowledge the war-weariness among the general American public and the troubled results of the United States nation-building in the Middle East. I think America now knows its limitations in that area and what we can do, he said. Do we want to spend 20 years [in Iran] after we tear it down to build it back up again so that it isnt run by a crazy tyrannical leader like has happened in, lets say Iraq and Afghanistan again. Youve got some crazy guys running the governments there.
