Counterforce targets THE EXTERNAL ENEMY's launch sites and other nuclear facilities.  What are you talking about?   

Also, even countervalue targets wouldn't generate the firestorms predicted, because concrete doesn't burn the way, say, Dresden or Tokyo did.  And even those weren't sufficient to waft that smoke into the stratosphere at the levels required.  You'd basically need a volcano to do that, and even then a real big one.  The Year without A Summer was bad, but it wasn't end of life as we know it bad, even back in 1816.

Some of the same clowns who wrote the TTAPS report claimed that the burning of the oil wells during the Gulf War would cause nuclear winter.  How did that turn out?

You selectively discount the nuclear effects.  Many persist for decades, and are highly dangerous in minute quantities.  I remember the Strontium 90 concern in the '50s, and that was due solely to testing.
