He said he wants to use tactical nukes on Iran. I thought that would make you happy. I'm really disappointed in you.....

No, he didn't.

He said *if* we go to war with them - something he explicitly stated he didn't want to happen - *then* we should use tacnukes on their nuke sites, rather than send in a vast number of ground troops. That's a valid strategy. But it's also a different statement than "I want to nuke Iran."

Take nukes out of it. Instead, let's say he said "If Iran nukes Tel Aviv, the US should respond by sending conventionally armed cruise missiles to take out the Iranian leadership." Now, does that translate to "Hunter wants to take out the Iranian leadership with missiles?"
