He may have them but he cant get them here in normal fashions. What is it going to take for us to wake up??

It was reported in the WSJ a while back that the Saddam has funneled oil for food money to a shipbuilding outfit that specializes in building trawlers. This is how they will get a WMD into America. Russia sails our Puget Sound region with spy trawlers looking for signatures from the Trident Fleet every day. It's a scenario we need to be on top of.

For most of the media and the dems it'll take a mushroom cloud over NYC, LA or DC...then they'll all be pointing fingers and screaming about unconnected dots and "Bush Knew" and so on and so on. Fortunately we have a President in office who's not willing to wait that long. He's going to take care of this situation once and for all. The UN and European sentiment be damned.

It seems that Saddam has the same number of fairly sophisticated IRBM's [that is, five or six] as he does fairly sophisticated nuclear devices [Hiroshima size and quality or better].

Beyond that he has the SCUDS, and various "dirty bombs" that just spread radioactive waste and debris around the enemy's location after a conventional explosion.

IOW Saddam's nukes have most of Europe and much of Russia, plus all of the Mideast, under their guns.

What are you talking about? Did you ever consider that Bush may be using these inspections to help narrow down where US forces will need to strike? Observing how the Iraqui's react and directing surveillance as a result. Why do a search with much higher casualties with our military if we can do much of the prepatory work using the UN dupes? If we don't know where the nukes are, yet we suspect that he has them, isn't it riskier to send troops in now rather than wait while we gather more intelligence?

Bush isn't a dope, and he's got a good team that know what they are doing. Don't take everything at face value.
