[QUOTE="0311, post: 2290562, member: 26943"] Well, they had their finger on the button. It was that close. This is a quote from wikipedia: In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Arab forces were overwhelming Israeli forces and Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized a nuclear alert and ordered 13 atomic bombs be readied for use by missiles and aircraft. The Israeli Ambassador warned President Nixon of “very serious conclusions" if the United States did not airlift supplies. Nixon complied. This is seen by some commentators on the subject as the first threat of the use of the Samson Option. We shouldn't have airlifted supplies. We should have let the Israelis use the Samson Option. Edit: My personal opinion only. [/QUOTE]
