Even after Operations Desert Storm and Desert Fox, and a decade of United Nations weapons inspections, Saddam continues his relentless quest to build the “first Arab bomb,” having taken advantage of the weak-willed Clinton-Gore administration.
New! Brighter than the Baghdad Sun.
Containing detailed accounts from former members of Saddam Hussein’s inner circle and his nuclear weapons team, Brighter Than the Baghdad Sun reveals:
• How Saddam had nearly completed a nuclear bomb by the beginning of the Gulf War—and would have detonated it near Kuwait City if a U.S. bomber hadn’t accidentally destroyed his nuclear lab
• The truth about the Clinton White House’s failed plots to have Saddam Hussein assassinated
• How President Clinton’s stubborn refusal to listen to King Hussein of Jordan resulted in fatal consequences
• How Saddam has invested more than $18 billion and employed more than 20,000 technicians to complete his nuclear bomb
• The inside story of how greed, sexual excesses, and blood feuds have threatened Saddam Hussein’s nuclear ambition
• How the Clinton-Gore administration has espoused an Iraqi policy riddled with contradictions, opted for “quick fix” solutions doomed to failure, and refused to support United Nations weapons inspectors.
Bhatia and McGrory take you inside Saddam’s bunkers to war-room sessions and secret meetings with his nuclear scientists, and to the Oval Office, where you join President Clinton’s national security meetings.
This thrilling read lays bare Saddam’s deadly ambitions and shows, chillingly, just how close he is to attaining them.
Shyam Bhatia has been Middle East correspondent and diplomatic editor for London’s Observer newspaper. He is the author of Nuclear Rivals in the Middle East and India’s Nuclear Bomb.
Daniel McGrory is an award-winning journalist covering the Middle East and the Balkans. Currently writing for the Times of London, he was formerly the chief foreign correspondent for the Daily Express.
Seems to me that all the Arab countries that have given support to terrorists need a painful lesson and soon. That means Afganistan, (natch!), Libya, Sudan, Pakistan, Syria (most certainly!), Iraq (for sure), Lebanon, Egypt, Morrocco, Algeria, and of course, Hitlery's friends in Palestine. The message might be: Turn the terrorists over to us and we will continue to supply you with money donated by faithful taxpayers. You have one week, then we pull the plug and send all your legal and illegal residents of the US back to you. Still no favorable response, then we will introduce you to a few well-aimed missiles. After that we could get serious.
When I saw this part... I knew I wouldn't have to praise Klinton for this :
The truth about the Clinton White House’s failed plots to have Saddam Hussein assassinated
It does not take 18 billion dollars to construct a nuclear bomb.
I could do it with 50 million. The only key thing is access to refined elements. Or a facility that could do it.
So this whole book/post is award winning nonsense.
.
On a total side topic..... just one of interest - (I post these things when I think of them)... Does the US have Space Based Uranium/Plutonium detectors?
If not, then how do they know the locations of EVERY known and UNKNOWN Uranium mine?
That would seem to be a sort of a big problem. It's not like striking coal.....
