Rudimentary programs sure, but rudimentary programs don't present a direct threat to this nation either

Ummmm...maybe you missed the following:

Chillingly, they also unearthed documents and equipment concealed in scientists’ homes for “resuming uranium enrichment” — a key stage in the making of nukes.

According to the IAEA's own reports..."Thus, Iraq could be capable of producing a nuclear weapon in less than a month with sufficient diverted or stolen fissile material if it has managed to fabricate and conceal all of the non-nuclear components of a weapon." The CIA and the IAEA have both stated that Iraq had 580 lbs. of uranium.

Dr Kay’s report says: “The scientist who concealed the vial has identified a large cache of agents that he was asked, but refused, to conceal. The group is searching for the second cache. One ex-biological weapons scientist confirmed a production line could be switched to produce anthrax in a week.”

This one speaks for itself. And while they may not be able to hit the US, the article stated that they were seeking missiles that could reach the UK. I think that would be considered a direct threat.

Thank you, you closed the case right there.

Why? When did this nation of states go through the procedure to annex the United Kingdom? Are they now included of the borders of this nation?
