I strongly support the Tauscher amendment. Let us talk common sense on this issue. The key to neutralizing hard and deeply buried bunkers is solid and accurate and detailed intelligence. So let us remember. Remember the political fallout when we accidentally bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade? We should remember that. Imagine the fallout literally and figuratively if we were to use a nuclear weapon to take out a bunker and we got the location wrong. No President would authorize the use of a nuclear weapon on a bunker without having solid rock intelligence on it. We need to have strong intelligence, and this should not go forward.
