Looking at this article Revised US nuclear doctrine outlines preemption strategy, all I can think of is, with bush's twitchy trigger finger on the button, this scares the shit out of me. I can see him giggling to himself, jacking himself off in orgasmic glee as he nukes the shit out of a city or two of brown skinned people, because they have the desire to some day develop weapons of mass destruction.
Do you think that, if he had been allowed to use nukes in Iraq, that he would have hesitated for a moment? He'd have splooged all over himself at the very thought of being able to blow up such big, powerful, pretty fireworks. And if a bunch of "ferners" got blown up with it, oh well. Like rummy says, sometimes war is messy. Besides, he'd never see the outcome anyway, except for the pictures of the pretty explosion, since they won't let news crews anywhere near the site. They wouldn't want any of us to see what's left of the bodies anyway, unless some of our soldiers smuggle digital cameras along with them.
This psychopath shouldn't be allowed to play with sharp objects, let alone explosives.
Now let's talk about nukes. Historically, ever since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nukes have had the sole purpose of "deterrent." If you attack us, we will blast you back into the stone age. And they've worked very well to deter nations from attacking us, and from attacking Russia, and China, and other nuclear powers. Everyone who has them knows that the destructive power is overwhelming, completely nondiscriminatory (there is no such thing as a "precision" nuclear explosion - civilians, women and children, livestock, crops, pets, everything gets it), and long lasting - the blast sends dust and debris into the atmosphere, so that everyone and everything on the planet can enjoy the fact that the half life of uranium and plutonium will make the radioactive hangover last for millennia. Good plan George.
The sole purpose of the nuclear arsenal is as a deterrent. The first time a nuclear weapon is used, it has, by definition, failed in its purpose.
Deterrence works great against nations, since they have an address. Not so good against the likes of Al Qaieda. What are you going to do, drop a nuke in the desert at a camp and waste a billion dollar bomb and fuck up everything in a 10 mile area and blast radioactive dust into the atmosphere to sterilize an area with a couple dozen tents and a herd of camels?
g.w. bush - the overkill president. He might like that nickname. It has the word "kill" in it.

Oh, and I just found out that he didn't know that brown had resigned. Is this guy TOTALLY clueless about everything? It boggles the mind.
