Actually, the defense against a nuke has always been counterforce: you destroy it before it can be deployed. Much easier to nail this stuff while it's still in Iraq before it ends up in a shipping container on it's way to a target in "Dar-al-Harb".

Selling nukes to terrorists is no more in his interest than having them himself, or invading Kuwait. But that didn't stop him then either.
