Saddam is bound and determined to make this a "America against Islam" thing....

[Clovis_Skeptic]

"America against Islam"

seems to me that Islam has made it a war against America thing.

or an Islam against Christian thing...or an Islam against all non-Islam thing...be it here..the Phillipines...Indonesia...Israel...coming soon to a nation near you...

[clamper1797]

Saddam is bound and determined to make this a "America against Islam" thing....

Even though our leaders say it is not ... it is more a civilization vs. Islam ... or Islam vs all other religions or both

[pabianice]

>>Iraq has specifically threatened Israel with retaliation for any U.S.-led campaign against the regime of President Saddam Hussein.

Whoa! Big surprise! Like Iraq wouldn't attack Israel anyway.

[ChaseR]

"Last week, Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri suggested that Iraq would target Israel."

This, along with Egypt purchasing and receiving 20 updated/modern ICBM's - tells all of us that an all-out war is right around the cornor. (Iraq - will be buried in rubble...along with all other countries who promote/harbor terrorist)

[SamAdams76]

Isn't this the exact same rhetoric Iraq used during the Desert Shield buildup of 1990? And what happened? A few lazy scuds that didn't do much of anything. And that mighty "elite Republican Guard," remember them? The ones who used their underwear as surrender flags?

[Mind-numbed Robot]

"The Palestinian cause and liberation of Jerusalem as well as campaign against Israel is a fundamental issue for Iraq, just like many other Islamic states,"

Well at least he is honest, unlike all others, including the U.S., who pretend that peace with Israel is the goal. Iraq is no different than the other Arab states, all talk and bluster unless they are attacking innocent women and children. We used to call people like that bullies and cowards, now we call them Islamists.

A senior Iraqi diplomat said Saddam has seven million combatants called the Quds Army.

More like the Duds, than the Quds.

[Mixer]

Again I ask....Why do these cowards feel that an attack on Israel would be a good counter-attack for an attack from America. Do they have no balls at all? Won't they for once at least try to prove to the world that they will stand up to the USA. I mean how silly do they look ALL the time.

[Ward Smythe]

The diplomat said Iraq would "swallow Israel up" if his country is attacked.

Well, it wouldn't happen if we'd just eliminate them to begin with...

[lavaroise]

Interesting how the Russians would not mind the destruction of Israel, supporting Saddam.

[Moosilauke]

A senior Iraqi diplomat said Saddam has seven million combatants called the Quds Army. The diplomat said Iraq would "swallow Israel up" if his country is attacked.

Gee, whatever happened to the "Elite Republican Guard?" It raises the serious question whether Israel would have sufficent facilities for processing that many POWs.

[NC Conservative]

The diplomat said Iraq would "swallow Israel up"

Yeah whatever.

[Bikers4Bush]

Was this supposed to scare us? All it did to me was make me laugh.

[el_texicano]

Iraq would "swallow Israel up" if his country is attacked.

Hehehehe, sure they would. And it was the "Mother of a battles" in '91 huh? More like the "Mother of all butt-kickin's". Bush II ain't like his daddy. It's my expectation that President Bush will finish what his daddy failed to do then.

This toad is begging for a thumpin'...And as far as I am concerned, just as soon as we are done with putting bin Laden's head on a pike, he's next.

[bluetoad]

Israel stands as a Island of Democracy in a sea of Dictators.

The real question is who do we support?

[Brett66]

The diplomat said Iraq would "swallow Israel up"

Translation: "We'll swallow all of their bombs and missiles"

[1Old Pro]

Saddam is bound and determined to make this a "America against Islam" thing....

Well, let it be an Israel vs. Saddam thing then. I'll bet they would send in their secret agents to assisate Saddam.

[Walkin Man]

A senior Iraqi diplomat said Saddam has seven million combatants called the Quds Army. The diplomat said Iraq would "swallow Israel up" if his country is attacked.

Let me guess, it will be called "The Mother of All Battles".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

We should carpet-bomb Saddam and arm the resisters in Iraq while at the same time Israel clears out the snakes nest on the West Bank hopefully killing that terrorist ba$tard Arafat. It's Civilization vs Barbarism and a new Islamic Dark Ages, lets get it on!

[Magnum44]

A senior Iraqi diplomat said Saddam has seven million combatants called the Quds Army.

These must be the sons of the 'mother of all battles'.

[Aura]

What would constitute World War III? Seriously, are there specific requirements that would make this an official World War? No flaming please.
