BEIRUT, OCTOBER 28, 2001. /RIA Novosti correspondents Yuri Zinin and Konstantin Maximov) -- The USA and Great Britain are plotting to hit 300 targets in Iraq with a thousand missiles to overthrow President Saddam Hussain, Iraq's Vice-Premier Tariq Aziz said in an interview the British-based Sunday Telegraph carries today.

Iraq expects the US-British plan to be implemented, sooner or later, said the Vice-Premier as he flatly refuted suspicions of Baghdad behind the US anthrax mail.

I think Bush is pushing it too much.

Interesting. Who is RIA Novosti? How reliable is this?

[wlj1]

I wouldn't worry about this. I think this is just BS.

I think Bush is pushing it too much.

Tell us. How would you like your personal serving of terrorism?

Coming soon to a theatre near you (unless you have the guts to fight it).

I think these guys used to write for Pravda.

I believe this before I would believe the Washington Post.

I think Bush is pushing it too much.

Pushing what too much?

[AMMON-CENTRIST]

Expansion of this war is total insanity of the highest order. We can't win. There is NO WAY.

[VaBthang4]

I think AMMON-CENTRIST is pushing for attention.

Novosti used to be run by the KGB. It's a Russian website.

[Fred25]

The foreign country of origin is listed on that site as “ru” for Russia.

IF ANTHRAX = IRAQ, THEN

BAGHDAD = HIROSHIMA

... Iraq's Vice-Premier Tariq Aziz said in an interview ...

Tariq Aziz. Sheesh! This tiresome wog is simply trying innoculate world opinion against what Iraq has coming to it. Kind of analogous to how you might innoculate a human body against a bacillus by introducing into it a harmless bug that resembles the real thing enough to get the immune system excited.

A question worth asking, however, is why is he squawking at this point in time? What has spooked him? The attack he outlines would not be all that useful without a ground followup to occupy the country and desaddamize it.

We've had wars with Iraq before. The big thing that bothers me is they're letting the enemies who are on US soil stay where they can and will attack American citizens.

[Elihu Burritt]

In a way, this administration is starting to look like the lady who had a habit of arranging her own weddings and then never showing up. Air power is wonderful stuff, but it is close to useless without men on the ground.

[AMMON-CENTRIST]

If you wish to deport the ones doing pro-terrorist deeds against every day Americans, go for it.
