There is going to be all kind of amazing stuff deployed in Iraq. Super predator stealth aircraft, laser weapons, EMP bombs, electronic stun weapons, rocks, sharp sticks.

We got tactical smart-missiles, phased-plasma pulse-rifles, RPG's...""...We got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes. We got knives, sharp sticks..." Apone "Knock it off,Hudson!"

AMERICA will NUKE Baghdad...
Nuking Baghdad will only kill hundreds of thousands of Saadam's slaves. But a little 1 or 2k battlefield nuke on each of Saadam's thirty-odd palaces, now THAT would make a statement!

Exactly. We're still pussyfooting around in Afghanistan. It's part of Bush's "compassionate warfare" strategy that leads to years of our troops being trapped in third-world hells.
To: MrB
This whole thing does not make any sense. First we warned him not to use WMD or we will use WMD on Baghdad? He did not, and we did not. Hence, at this point, if he still has WMD, we KNOW that he is not going to use them; first because he does not want to get destroyed, second, because the world would know that he was a liar, third, because he did not use them in the 1991 war even though at that time he was in a stronger military position and would not be considered a liar if he had used them.
At any rate, even if we assumed that he had a few pounds of biological/nuclear agents in some lab, and we bombed this lab, what do you think the results will be. I imagine the harmful material that was not released in the environment by Saddam, would be released by the US bombing. This material can pollute the air, and harm not only innocent Iraqi civilians, but also all neighboring countries including Israel.
I guess at this point, we should take advantage of the pressure that our President put on Saddam, and the opportunity to get the inspectors back in to continue the process of disarmament. Only through peaceful disarmament that we can safely destroy harmful materials. Bombing harmful materials transfer them from POTENTIALLY HARMFULL MATERIALS TO ACTUALLY DEADLY MATERIALS!!! Yes, our media is whipping us into frenzy to fight this evil guy, and yes we are not going to get exposed to these harmful materials because we are far away from theater of war. However, we should consider the harms and the permanent damage that may result from our attack. I am not a peacenick pinco commie, I am a thinking right wing republican that is more aware of the greater danger of Islamic fanatics around the world. We can deal with dictators after we are finished with the global Islamic terrorism challenge.

Mr Major wrote of the Gulf War: In private, Saddam Hussein received an unmistakable warning about the immediate and catastrophic consequences for Iraq of any such attack on civilians. Why wait? NUKE MECCA NOW.
To: mikegi
"The nuke threats in the Gulf War was a bluff. We weren't going to nuke anything then and we won't now. I agree. We can accomplish all our goals with minimum casulties with out it. (Now Saddam, when he realises it's over, may unleash one in an attempt to make it look like we did it.)

Don't be so sure.

I would suggest that the Brits shut the hell up as to what we're going to do. They should figure out what they plan to do.

The Sun is one of those trashy London tabloids with naked chicks. I don't know how much stock I'd put in this report.

We do not need a 'nuke' in order to inflict overwhelming damage.

We can deal with dictators after we are finished with the global Islamic terrorism challenge. In this case it's the same thing. Saddam is an islamic leading a nation of islamics supporting a terror network of islamics.
After iraq on to iran, kill the beast one bite at a time until islam is only practiced in hell (where it reightfully belongs)
God Save America (Please)

Iran first Can't do that. Iraq is the deadlier enemy. It must be handled first.
Also, with the fall of Saddam in iraq, the population in Iran will be even more in our favor. We might get an internal revolution throwing out the islaminazis and returning to a more western Shah-like regime. The iranians hate Saddam as much as we do (more probably) so the attack on iraq will be seen as a good thing by the general populace

The Last Crusader, I see. If the crusaders had done the job right and stomped out islam back then the world would be a much much better place now. Unfortunately they didn't and now we come to the conflict of islam vs civilization.
The war will last until islam is only practiced in hell. Better get used to it.

Saddam should also clearly understand that these nukes would follow him to whatever country gives him "safe harbor" too.
A word to the wise...
