Would it suprise you honestly if it was otherwise.

I'm pretty sure we couldn't get away with using any sort of nuke without Russia or China noticing.

well thats why I made the history textbook comment. It's these seemingly innocuous incidents which start more war.

I would not worry about it, the world community knows that they US did not use nukes. If nukes were used, radiation would have been left behind....

History is written by the victors, so, we will be ok......

Report also said that the USAF was involved in the attack, the best part is why would you have F-4 & F-15 fighters escorting a stealth aircraft :lol: :roll:

Forget "noticing"; I suspect Russia would be given a heads up on it before it happened..even if only an hour or so.
