As loose as our borders continue to be, Saddam has any number of ways to get a nuke here and get it detonated. We have to assume he will when attacked. But he (or a client terrorist) will eventually, anyway. The question is, will he try to do so on our timetable or his?

The other question is, given the way GWB has squandered his momentum by buying into useless, wishy-washy UN dickering and "inspections", will he then have the b@lls to do what is necessary if we are attacked? Or will he continue to defer to Kofi and his communist and terrorist stooges? I'm not so sure any more.

One thing we could wish for, if he's going to use nukes anyway (and not to wish this on anyone), is that he direct one of them at Israel. That'll be the end of his regime, and probably his country. The Israelis will take care of the problem, once and for all. I'll be rooting them on if they do.

"He's going to use non-persistent chemicals against his own people to put down an insurrection," the ace inspector predicted, before adding chillingly, "He'll use bio and nukes against us."

Anyone know if his scuds can reach Quatar(sp) or the area of the Persian Gulf where one of our carrier battle groups are likely to be operating from once the bombing starts?

Saddam Has Nukes, Ex-Weapons Inspector Says

Now, all Saddam has to do is to admit he has nukes and he will be safe from a U.S. attack like North Korea is.

Nothing more than a hunch that Iraq has nukes...

Salute to Bill Tierney!!

The TRUTH stands on its own merits. God Bless him!!

This is why I completely ignore the no-war-at-any-cost crowd. Once a bomb goes off, it's too late. Scott Ritter and his little pals in A.N.S.W.E.R. and other orgs should
be hunted down and deported to Iraq if one goes off here.

For those who missed former UN weapons inspector Tierney on Hannity yesterday, he will also be on Hannity & Colmes tonight (9 PM Eastern time on Fox News Channel).

Yesterday on Hannity, Tierney said that Saddam might use a nuke on the U.S. or Israel. He is however strongly supportive of attacking Iraq.

Tierney said that Saddam is cooperating with terrorists. Although Iraq has no delivery capability that could hit the U.S., Saddam could use terrorists or agents to smuggle a nuke into the U.S.

Tierney mentioned a particular mountain area where the inspectors were denied entry in 1997 under very unusual circumstances. He said that a London newspaper (think it was a Feb 1999 op ed piece in the London Times) was an "open source" discussing a secret nuke program including at least one nuke was stored at that location.

Tierney apparently has harder info than the London newspaper article. Reading between the lines of his comments, he has classified info that causes his grave concern and strong belief that the U.S. must attack Iraq.

Tierney claimed that the Iraqi "minder," who struggled with the inspectors on Tierney's watch, was standing behind UN weapons inspector Blitz in a recent press conference (as though the "minder" was part of the UN team). Tierney said something like, "If Blitz can't control his environment at a news conference, I have little confidence in his ability to stand up to Iraqi pressure."

Tierney also speculated that Iraqi intelligence has probably penetrated the UN weapons team.

Tierney said that he worked closely with Scott Ritter and has great respect for the weapons inspections of Ritter. He says he doesn't know why Ritter has turned 180 degrees, but thinks that Ritter is bitter.

Tierney said that Ritter went out on a limb for his country (and the UN weapons inspection program). Clinton admin that sawed off the branch. Then, Clinton admin stabbed Ritter in the back after Ritter was down. Tierney thinks that Ritter's about face on the threat from Iraq has something to do with how Clinton admin abused him.

Tierney debated Hackworth. Hack generally against Iraq attack, but his thinking seems rather unclear. Tierney strongly believes that we MUST stop Iraq before he turns over weapons of mass destruction (WMD) to terrorists (or gives more WMD if he has given some already).

Tierney was very articulate, bright, and convincing.

You asked to be updated on Tierney's comments on Hannity & Colmes tonight.

Tierney repeated portions of what he said on Hannity's radio show. He wasn't on very long.

Tierney was asked if his opinion was based in part on classified info. I can't remember how direct he was in his answer, but he said that based on info that he viewed in 2000, he was convinced that he was right.

This reinforced my interpretation of his radio comments. He more clearly implied on H & C that his opinion was based on classified info.

Give us One good reason to turn Iraq and a couple other ME countrys into glass. I hope they do it. Zero is a number, a bad number for Arabs.
