(Seriously speaking, most of the oil is hundreds to thousands of feet deep; even a bunker-buster nuke isn't going to do much to the oil, one way or another.)
Hey, if you or one of the other folksies can dig up Weird Al's "Christmas at Ground Zero" for an upcoming webcast, I know I would feel a lot better about this whole mess for a few seconds, though.
I am the first to say no nukes is good nukes. Nuclear weapons scare me to death constantly. At least, though, a) It's very low yield and b) it detonates underground. But what if the timer malfunctions...

You're in the Middle East for the oil.
What the hell do you think sending a nuke 20 feet underground is going to do to the UNDERGROUND OIL RESERVES? Do you even know where oil comes from?
