I have to finish my daddys war

Israel does indeed have nuclear weapons and is also the only country in the world which has stated that it will use them to defend itself in the event of a future invasion/war.

All other countries at least profess (falsely in my opinion) that they would never launch first.

As for Dubya, he's now taken to stating that some religions e.g. Wiccan/earth religions are less 'useful' than others - so much for seperation of Church and State.

The only reasons the UK and the USA are so interested in Iraq are because;

a) Saddam is a known psychopath and could very well launch a few chemical warheads up their *******s.

b) He's sitting in a position of power very near to some oil rich countries; and he's already proved he's not afraid to try and take hold of the oil fields.

If they had never intervened; what do you think would be happening at this very moment? Think about it.

as far as i know the increase in cancer isnt only in areas where saddam used chemical weapons....

so sadamn has nukes?
even he can distinguish between gassing a few kurds and iranians and mutually assured destruction,if he wanted to destroy isrealm he would of stuck chemical warheads on the scuds during the war,
Sadamn is a gambler but even he knows when the deck is stacked against him.

Interesting topic on current news... took some time out and sat in front of the tv box and i happened to stumble on a tv programme on BBC2 called "Langan Behind the Lines", by a reporter called Sean Langan, last night's episode was called Saddams Show.

the whole time he was in Iraq, he had government people fallowing him as he went through the iraq.they told him that he was not allowed to talk to any "simple, naive" people (ordinary folk like you and me). this simply shows us the state of fear that the iraqi people are in at the moment thanks to Mr. President, saddam.

next episode is on the Israeli/Palestinian situation.

i thought Isreal had always denied/remained silent about whether they had Nukes or not. I know they engaged in joint research with SA on the subject.
I was wondering what evidence there was that Iraq had tested nuclear weapons.

To Adnans Nobodies saying Sadams a nice guy , but hes no worse than any other 3rd world dictator , the difference is between 3rd world despotism X and Iraq is that Despotism X doesnt have to worry about The Combined power of the western world bombing thier country on an Ad-hock basis "In the name of peace" the Iraqi people does and they bear the brunt .


To Yoss and all the others , Iraq nowhere near nuclear capacity,I mean NOWHERE , theyre . And any serious Chemical warfare capacity ,that was crippled in Desert storm . Just to put it in context , heres a quick question

How is the worlds largest holder of Chemical weapons

The USofA thats who...and you dont see the UN inspecting theyre Caches do you?

at least we can trust the US with those chemicals (to certain points, in moderation), but to trust a madman with a bunch of poisonous gasses and whathaveyounot is a different story altoghether.

Can we trust them ? When out of boredom they go on the International equivelent of good old fashioned american Deer Hunt against the nearest Country around
Who are they of all people to go around telling Iraq what to do *Apart from being the only world superpower I mean ...Ethically speaking *.
Whats really gauling though is that they never finish things so we can commit them to the past and treat them as errors...they just leave em dangling. I mean ten years on and the Entire military Forces of the western world are still bombing the same Arab backwater . Id be happy if they finished Sadam off in the early 90s , whatever theyre reasons . At least then the real victims * The children...err Iraqi people * would be able to get on with it

How do you know ? South African scientists admitted selling highly enriched uranium to Iraq from a facility which they claimed never funtioned properly or to full productivity, but which turns out was running at full capacity for several years and producing a lot more uranium than they admitted. This was sold on the black market to countries like Iraq, Pakistan and probably whoever else had the necessary cash.
