The president stated that a 100 megaton bomb was dropped on Baghdad, but this impossible. The largest nuclear weapon ever detonated was 50 megatons, the famous Tsar bomb. The are no weapons in the US arsenal even close to 100 megatons. The largest detonation of a nuclear weapon by the US was the Castle Bravo test, with a yield of 15 megatons. This detonation was not intentional however, but the result of a runaway reaction. The fact that the president in the movie had reduced the US arsenal further makes this scenario unlikely.
