One comment about Colorado Springs - If you consider the use of some sort of ground-penetrating anti-bunker nuke it makes more sense as th worst effects will be contained underground.
Developping a one-of-kind deep strike nuke to nail a high value target like the NORAD rather than just tossing a heavy hitter is a possibility too - more expensive thatn repurposing a city-leveller but it can get handy for others hard targetswher you're at leéast cosmewhat concerned with the collateral damage (to the troops you might send there if not to the locals).
