Ok...is there any point where the US should take out NK nukes?

32. Why do you think our defense capabilities are so inadequate?

I hear this scary theme from other rightwing apparatchiks, but c'mon, we have the biggest military in the world and you're equating our state of the art arsenal and missile defense force with some backwards third world country using a refurbished missile launcher bolted onto an old pickup truck.

Remember your history? Back in the Bush Administration we likewise had a White House that was dangerously indifferent to facts. Using the same premise you've submitted, that the US should use nukes first before No. Korea can obliterate California, the diabolical Dick Cheney came up with the 'The One Percent Doctrine'. This fallacy concocted the notion that the US could order a preemptive strike without the need for evidence because Cheney said that even if there was only a one percent chance of something happening, then we would treat it was a eminent threat and act accordingly. Bush accepted that view and went on to substitute mere suspicion for evidence in Iraq.

Let's not reconstitute Dick Cheney's 'The One Percent Doctrine'.
