I suspect by saying a "big war" Abraham implied not a ground invasion such as like Iraq but he can clarify on that.

How did you come to 66%? Why not 50% or 75%? 
Seriously though the use of mini-nukes would be seen as a break in the 'traditional' role of nuclear weapons as a deterrance. Would this then open up a new 'nuclear genie out of the bottle' situation whereby states other than the US with nuclear weapons then feel no obligation simply to use their nuclear arsenal in a deterrance role. For example hypothetically Russia may think that they are now free to use tactical battlefield nuclear weapons in Chechnya. IMO I think that it would be a dangerous precedent and a msitake for the US to use mini-nukes. What do you think Sky?
