We are target # 1, because we have the most Jews after Israel.
This Dr Hamza has a unique gift of story telling..
In August he meets with Congress to tell them that Saddam has 10 tonnes of Unranium..and 1 tonne of slightly enriched uranium...this = 3 bombs by year 2005.
Now a few months later the story changes..and Saddam is stream lining nukes at a skill level more advanced in time line than Israel.....ya right Hamza[Sarcasm]
Hamza is exploiting his personal failure in iraqs nuclear programs..he makes statements that don't jive with other intel from other supposed technical escapee's from Iraq...but he is right over them,cuz he was more senior..or something like that.
Get this lucid comment...Hamza blames Israel for bombing the osirik reactor..says this helped Saddam get out from under the Non Proliferation Treaty.
Osirik was bombed in 1981..at that time Saddam had spent mmmillions on something...and had nothing.
Then Hanza becomes Iraq's nuclear advisor in 1985...
Then in 1987,he becomes head of the nuclear program.
After 87 Iraqi scientists are flocking back to Iraq from abroad..and Saddam is terrorizing them..watching their families..treating them like hostages..sob..sob.
Glowing statements from Hamza like..."The program started out as patriotic...but then turned into forced confinement"
No folks...Hamza's a screw up...and Saddam was certainly looking to kill him for producing nothing in 7 years.
Hamza says they were all waiting around for Saddam to decide what type of bomb and missile delivery system he wanted....ya right Hamza...Saddam hasn't the brains to talk to Pakistan...no not once.
No Hamza's a screwup would fled for his life..and now spins yarns to the media.
If anyone has a good idea of what is going on in Iraq nuclear wise it will be Israel>
U.S. admin has the real details allready...both countries have agents in Iraq and other intel sources.
Some Iraqi scientists say Saddam has allready detonated nukes in an undergound mountain facility..after which Saddam filled the entire opening with concrete and landscaped it so that we dummies would never know.
Oh well..if you got some beer to drink..and have spare time..there's allways Hamza..but choosing to watch NFL would be a wiser course.
Do they really think they're going to be able to "Spin" that one in the aftermath of a nuclear detonation over one of our troop concentrations - even with the help of Rather, Jennings, Brokaw, and every grinning leftist info-babe that the leftist media can muster?
If it doesn't work - critically - then you have your dirty weapon. Still bad news.
Either way, for a mad man, it's a win win situation... at least until the retaliation in kind. Well, not in kind per se. Our nukes are tried and tested. They work and the yields are, no doubt, an order of magnitutde greater than Soddom's.
Therefore, if the Jews here would move someplace else, we wouldn't have as much of a problem, right?
This is not possible. There are earthquake monitors all over the world that would detect the characteristic spike of an underground nuclear detonation and place it in Iraq.
The network is pretty sophisticated: it detects the ammonium nitrate explosions in the open pit coal mines out West. They had to develop a signal processing algorithm to identify them and separate them from the ones they were looking for.
No, not at all. Many of my closest and dearest friends are Jewish.

Or New Orleans, Miami, L.A., San Diego, Portland, OR, Seattle, San Francisco... Nothing farfetched about it at all. Tel Aviv is probably more likely though. Here we're more likely to see bridges, oil refineries, chem plants, trains carrying nasty chem's etc., etc. go boom.
...
A fizzled nuke would more likely leave a puddle of radioactive material.
Or it would blow itself apart before the chain reaction really got going, which would in effect be a dirty bomb, but probably one somewhat worse than one built with radioactive waste and conventional explosives.
I don't have a good feeling about this...
This makes sense. The conventional explosives are arranged to compress the nuke core enough to start the chain reaction. Even a large nuke would have only a couple hundred pounds of explosives in it, and wouldn't be much more destructive than an ordinary [what an age we live in] car bomb.
