Gee. What a great way to "disappear" (i.e., cover your tracks) in the event of war.

Before any American troops die in this piss hole called baghdad I think we should consider nuking the place for the betterment of the world.

“We never found all his equipment and he’s had four years to build new production facilities underground. The job of finding them would be nigh on impossible.”

Maybe neutrons can find them.

Major was OK as far as I remember.

Protege of Maggie Thatcher. If I got to share a fox hole, give me a Brit or an Israeli.

Otherwise, I prefer my own company.

Alas, Babylon.

The nuke threats in the Gulf War was a bluff. We weren't going to nuke anything then and we won't now (regardless of what I personally wish we would do).

a cornered Saddam might lash out

Saddam, himself, personally, cannot launch a WMD missile if he is cornered. He would have to order someone else to do it.
If the person so ordered is more rational than Saddam and has a good idea that this order is in desperation (Saddam is near death), "some failure" will probably happen to prevent the launch.

"And like that......

He was gone...."

hey, I was just mentioning this on another thread, in regards to the 1991 war. Great timing. :)

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!

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.

[Shooter 2.5]

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.

[jpl]

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.

[verity]

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

[Publius6961]

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

A word to the wise...
