Nice spin! Truth is, it's not for lack of desire that Republicans have never dropped The Bomb. Who wanted to nuke Moscow and "Peking" for the first couple of decades of the Cold War? Who wanted to nuke Pynongyang during the Korean War? Who wanted to nuke Hanoi during the Vietnam War? Who's pushing now to make the use of nuclear weapons more acceptable in the form of "bunker busters" and other "tactical" nukes?

That line really took cojones, Tom.
