I think you are making a mistake there.  I am pretty sure that it is 
not the case that those are nuclear, but I am not an authority on 
ordinance.  The subject does not normally interest me.  Never the 
less there is no way the US gov would be ready to accept political 
fallout of using nukes in this kind of conflict however much they 
might want to.  They have enough problems already.
