what are we waiting for lets give him a 100 megaton one right now

[lasereye]

If he ever got one and used it, all the people saying there's no evidence he's got one will then say we caused him to use it.

[tet68]

Now,now, let's not go off half cocked like Tom Dasshole.
We need the voice of reason now more than ever, where is jimmy carter when you need him?
You don't see Hillery! beating her war drums do you?
Yes I now it's like thunder when she walks but that doesn't count.
I'm sure we haven't heard the last of Bill Clinton on this
either.
"Naah, I could have stopped him, we knew he was building all this stuff, but that dang Republican judiciary comittee just
kept my mind off the real danger to our great repository of
democrat donations, er I mean the US."

[Dog Gone]

If we don't take him out, those same people will be saying that the Bush Administration had ample warning and chose not to do anything, probably to protect Halliburton contracts or something.

[Vermont Lt]

The problem is that once he gets it, we wont go near him. No one is going to send 100,000 troops against a nuke.

At the first sign of an attack, he will unleash it on Turkey or Tel Aviv, prompting such massive retaliation that no sane person would think of starting with him.

It becomes the ultimate sword of Damacles.

[tomahawk]

It's okay. We have nothing to worry about. Tom Dasshole assured us of this.

[Concentrate]

Let's cut to the chase. they probably already have these weapons. Why should I shut up when I'm in the target zone?

Sure I was shocked by the attack on the towers. What's next?

[MississippiMan]

That UN is one darn useful organization, I tell you. He has or is about to have a nuclear weapon. What do we do? Wring hands. Wait, I know! We'll pass a resolution and tell him he has to play nice! Yeah, that'll do it! And on the off-chance it doesn't, by golly we'll meet again in a few months or a year or so, and we'll pass ANOTHER resolution! That'll do it for SURE!

Amazing that such a mindset could actually exist but it is indeed the standard MO for much of the world.

[jraven]

Sadaam can take Donahue's show and he'd have a bomb tomorrow.

[PianoMan]

I'm sure this will be in the NY Times tomorrow...page A38.

[Rocko]

You are funny.

[OReilly]

It's okay. We have nothing to worry about. Tom Dasshole assured us of this.

And Graham of Florida said he's more concerned with Iran, so let's not get so excited over Iraq.

[PianoMan]

LOL

[Lady In Blue]

Thanks for the post.When you combined this article based on the Times of London and the London Telegraph - it's truly frightening!

[copycat]

Until now the Administration has shied away from linking Iraq to al-Qaeda, prompting widespread speculation that the US had no evidence of links between the two. Yesterday Dr Rice suggested that was not the case: “Iraq has clearly links with terrorism that would include al-Qaeda.”

I have always thought it was a little ridiculous for some of the keyboard warriors around here to be claiming that "there's no link between Iraq and Al Queda" based on what they "seen on TV."

Unless, of course, they have a top secret security clearance that chose for some reason not to reveal...

[blondee123]

Could this be why other arab countries, like Saudi seem to be changing their minds & coming on board with us? They all know that a nuke in the Madmans hands is death for all of them!

[RightWhale]

It's going to be difficult if he has some nukes, no doubt about that. If he is producing them everywhere like a cottage industry there is no telling where they will turn up. Maybe he has 3 transport methods, missile, truck, and boat; stopping all that would be a problem. If he starts detonating them, how can he be stopped short of blasting everything inside Iraq? What a huge project that would be.

[TheDon]

After 9-11, waking up to a nuke going off in New York, or DC, doesn't seem so farfetched.

[sleavelessinseattle]

The UN should be notified of the plan for saturation bombing of Bagdad...The morning after.

[Grampa Dave]

Let the UN be notified of any heavy bombing the same way we will be notified. That is watching the cities of Iraq light up the night in Iraq. That is after our stealth bombers light up the Iraqi cities.

Notifiying the UN would be like telling Da$$hole or Leaky Leahy ahead of time that we planned to bomb on X date. They would phone Saddam as demand their last payments asap. What payments, the payments for delaying the US from taking out Saddam.
