It doesn't matter HOW far along he might have been in developing nukes, it would have been NUTZ to take such an action against the US. He KNEW his regime wouldn't stand against another war with us. As I said- saddam could NEVER be referred to as stupid. But his hatred, just as with the rest of those murdering savages, is very real. I don't doubt that he was more than willing to send what he had out to be used by others.
I agree completely.
