Saddam's threat was made during a meeting with military commanders and his remarks were carried by the official Iraqi News Agency. It came as President Bush said Monday was the "moment of truth" for the United Nations to demand Baghdad's "immediate and unconditional disarmament."

Saddam is upset because he knows that he is going to be the headless buzkhashi "ball" when his people are liberated.

He probably has a nuclear device of some sort. Maybe more than one. Could be Tel Aviv or it could be Washington DC. The question will be if we can find them and destroy them before they are used.

Sounds like a veiled threat of biological weapons used globally.

: "Well, give us time and the necessary means and we will produce any weapon they want and then we will invite them to come and destroy them."

12 years wasn't enough?
It's going to be ugly, but it needs be done.

But...but...if he has no weapons of mass destruction...then how is going to wage this global war?

Hmmm...so contradictary...

But, as my fiance just said, I hope he attacks France first....

I suppose that those remarks do cover every single topic available on FR.com.

I see no serious option for us other than to just go in and kick butt!

Waiting around is not going to accomplish anything.

You must have been just watching that guy on Fox. He sounded very convincing that Saddam had at least 1 bomb. Possibly 9. My guess is in the UK, D.C., and NYC if any where.

But you sure gotta wonder what it must be like to know you are gonna die in 48hrs? Surely, Saddam doesn't plan on living out the week.

Or does he have Russia/France ready to retaliate with their nukes when either we or Israel retaliate for a dirty nuke or chem/bio Scud.

I just read this aloud; my 14 year-old daughter said, and I quote, "Global, my butt. Saddam needs to shut his fool mouth."

Hey Presidents Clinton, Carter, & BARTLETT...We thought Hussein didn't HAVE WMD's??? What the hell is he threatening the rest of the world with here?

Care to explain Slick?

How about you, Jimmah?

Never mind "Josiah"...You're just a dumb ol' actor without a high school diploma.

exactly right. where might they be? The idea that we can start the attack and then "intercept" his WMD, sort of like an episode of "24", is crazy. Either we have eliminated the chance that he will use his WMD inside the US, or we won't start the war. If the war starts, and the NY and DC subways are anthraxed the following day, Bush is finished.
