"and how precisely to you think they would do that? With 1) what warheads? 2) what delivery system?"

"If building and deploying nukes was easy everyone would have done it by now..."

A non-argument! Those systems are readily available from the Chinese on the world arms market. If the truth were known they've been a part of Saddam's arsenal for some time now.

A lot of countries already have deployed nukes. Even countries like India and Pakistan that have trouble feeding their own populations.

If you will remember your High School History lessons- it was the "peace at all costs" attitude that got us into wider conflicts in both WWI and WWII.

So which is it? Does Iraq have these weapons or will they soon have? and if they do and want nothing other than our destruction, why were they not used as soon as they were operational.

Sorry but you'll have to do more to convince me. I have no doubt that Iraq wants nukes, it would give themna vary big stick to wave about. But to say that they have or soon will have the capability to strike the US doesn't hold water in my opinion. (Israel is another story)

"Uh, do you even know when America joined the war? Over two years over it started! Don't start that, America CONTRIBUTED to the war effort, they didn't win it alone. If Germany had decided to build a bunch of ships and sail to America straight off you'd be eating weiner snitzel and drinking warm beer right now."

As if we're not already... :)

You're certainly entitled to your opinion. The fact is that Bill Clinton sold the Chinese our ICBM technology. The Chinese have been selling that same technology to on the world arms market for about 5 years now. The threat of nukes in the arsenals of nations like Iraq is a very real threat, but you believe what you will.

What has Iraq done that justifies us declaring war on them.
