Yeah, I seem to recall them wanting to use nukes but ended up using conventional explosives in the end.
As convoluted (in the real world) as the whole thing was, it was a great idea on Cobra's part and to have the lawyers, etc. in place ready to go and claim the island and to trick the Joes into setting everything in motion was also great.
Two of my favorite sub-plots by Cobra were the creation of Cobra island and when they busted into Joe Colton's lab and took over the giant laser simply to destroy the yacht of the drug kingpin (he name slips my mind right now). Just two, simple effective missions they endevoured upon and the Joe weren't able to stop them.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
