Nuclear Arsenal BB Demonstration -- Beyond War

In April of 2006, Seymour Hersh reported in The New Yorker that the Bush administration was eager to put the nuclear option back on the table in any future air assault on Iran to prevent them from developing nuclear weapons.

One of the military's initial options called for the use of 'bunker-buster' earth-penetrating tactical nuclear weapons to guarantee 100% "success" against underground sites in Iran.

However, in the National Intelligence Estimate released on December 3rd 2007, sixteen U.S. intelligence agencies concluded with a high level of confidence that Iran abandoned their nuclear weapons program in the Fall of 2003.

Hersh believed the White House held up this document's release for more than a year because its judgments dissented from their policy. "I think the vice-president has kept his foot on the neck of that report."
