Aziz says Iraq ready for war if attacked -Dutch TV

AMSTERDAM, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz has said Iraq is prepared for a ground war should the United States attack, a Dutch television station said on Monday ahead of its broadcast of an interview with the minister.

Aziz rejected a call from U.S. President George W. Bush for Baghdad to allow U.N. weapons inspectors back into the country, broadcaster NCRV said in a statement issued ahead of its screening of the interview later on Monday.

It said the minister denied Iraq still possessed weapons of mass destruction following the 1991 Gulf War and said the United States was looking for an excuse to settle scores with President Saddam Hussein.

The broadcaster did not quote Aziz directly but said he had told it that Baghdad no longer had any Scud missiles, ruling out a repeat of its long-distance Gulf War attacks on Israel.

O.K. You get ready for the ground war while we get ready to drop bombs from our planes in the air, moron.

We must have snuck up on them when they weren't prepared the last time.

That'd explain why they had to surrender so quickly.

We wouldn't have it any other way. In case they hadn't noticed we don't do sneak attacks. But once we have lit the fire, it WILL consume them.

Great! Then they've finished painting the lines around Bagdad, and have that big red spot in the center. Good deal.

I think it was Casper Weinburger on FNC the other day saying Iraq only had 1/3 of the forces
that it had before the Gulf War. Saddam's mouth is still as big though....
