I remember reading about that interview between us and the Iraqi rep just before the first Gulf War that involved our rep sliding an envelope (from Bush 1) across the table to the other. It read something to the effect that if one toe of the Iraqi army crossed the border to Saudi they would be nuked. It brought fear to the eyes of the rep. Sorry that I can't remember the individuals involved.

Not to "frighten" anyone, but I do think some of you are taking this too lightly. I hope we will foil any attempts, but these attacks are not a joke.

Here is an article, that perhaps you didn't see, but it would be a good idea to read.

Report: Palestinians able to carry out chemical attack

Palestinian terror organizations have the ability to carry out a chemical attack in Israel, but have refrained from doing so to date due to the repercussions of such an attack, a senior Israeli security official said this week.

"It is not a problem for terror organizations to attain chemical materials, and they are aware of the advantages of such an attack, but on the other hand [they know] it would be considered breaking all the rules of the game," the official said at a briefing.

He noted that such an attack could kill hundreds or thousands of people, as opposed to the dozen or so people killed in conventional Palestinian suicide bombings.

Chemical materials are readily available at scores of factories across the country, he said, including at the seemingly innocuous Tnuva milk factory in Jerusalem.

I remember something similar .... also the Iraqi army did have orders to do just that, but the Kuwaitis kept them busy long enough to stop that plan.
