Also, why did an oil rich nation like Iraq need nuclear facilities for electrical power?

So they did have them? I don't remember ever reading that they did. Israel took out Iran's nuclear facility.

I'm not sure, but I think I remember the IAEA saying something about Iraq's "nuclear power" program.

Maybe they were in the process of building another one.

Do you recall the stories about our finding a nuclear faciltity of some kind, not far into the war. I recall stories of people using barrels, that had once held nuclear material, to haul water.

I wonder how many of those folks are now dead.
