The U.S. military plans for as many possible contingencies as possible when getting ready to go to war. That would have to include nukes should, as Rich said, Iraq resorts to nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. Incidentally, if they do I hope to see an awful lot of Iraqis go up in a mushroom cloud too, and I'm not even sure I support this war.
There are probably plans for the use of nukes in every country in the world, including right here in the good ole U.S. of A., sitting in a drawer in the Pentagon someplace. No sense getting hysterical about it, girls ... but if the use of nukes is planned as part of the normal battle plans, the Bush Administration truly has lost its mind.

what have we taken over? alaska?

20 years before we purchased Alaska we had a little tussle with Mexico over a whole lot of what is now the Southwestern United States. The Spanish-American War was essentially an expansionist war that got us Cuba and the Phillipines. That doesn't even get to Central America, where we stole Panama from Columbia to build the canal, and sent the Marines and Army in so often at the request of major companies that, if Ronald Reagan had gotten his way and sent troops into Nicaragua, it woudl have resulted in the FOURTH Nicaraguan Campaign Ribbon.
