Where did "Nuke 'em from orbit" come from?

Remember you sent some wildcatters out to the middle of nowhere last week, out past the BBQ Pit?

Yeah, what?

Well, one 'em’s on the net, a mom-and-pop posting team. Says he’s on to something - wants to know if his message will be on it.

Why wouldn’t his message be on it?

Well, because you sent them out to that particular middle of nowhere on Straight Dope orders, maybe? I don’t know…

Christ. Some mod in a cushy office at the Reader says go look at a post reference. We look. They don’t say why, and I don’t ask. I don’t ask because it takes two weeks to get a reply out here and the answer is always don’t ask.
