"When the JCS, the Joint Chiefs, and the planners wanted to walk back that option [nuclear weapons use], what happened is about three or four weeks ago, the White House, people in the White House, in the Oval Office, the vice president's office, said, no, let's keep it in the plan."
The White House is dictating military strategy again.
"So when they looked at the underground facility in Iran -- as I said, this place, the main place is 75 hard feet underground, the only way you can tell the White House for sure, folks, you have to use a tac[tical] nuke.
But that isn't what they were -- they were just giving the range. But it's the fact that the White House wouldn't let it go that has got the JCS [Joint Chiefs of Staff] in an uproar."
Is that enough to make you nervous? The White House is again driving the military and making them do what THEY don't want to do.
