FoxNews Alert just reported that Iraqi troops have left Baghdad with heavy artillary and are heading south to the Kuwaiti boarder. More troops with SCUD missle launchers are heading west. The thought is that Saddam is about to attack our troops.

This is breaking news and details are few and far between.

TURN ON FOX

[UnChained]

If Iraq thinks Israel will retaliate if attacked, why would Iraq still attack Israel? Do they really think their Arab (muslim) neighbors would side with Iraq against Israel? </>

One Scud missle full of VX Gas could kill a lot of Isrealis. I suspect that moving the Scuds to a position to reach Isreal might be sufficient to trigger a preemptive nuclear strike by Isreal.

[Mo1]

If Iraq does fire Scuds all over the neighborhood, France will still oppose any war!

Oh they have already made it clear, that no matter what .. they would oppose war

They said No to that compromise resolution that the Brits came up with before Iraq even had a chance to turn it down

That is what I don't get, surely they must know it's a matter of time for Saddam

[steveegg]

Fudd's the prime minister. Who's the secretary of defense?

[relee]

One of the Generals on Fox just said attacking Israel would be a sign to his neighbors that he is hoping to turn this into a religious war.

[mrsalty]

Simple,Saddam wants to be remembered as the Arab leader that stood up to the US and also inflicted many casualties to Israel.

[JayP56]

What!!!! Saddam has SCUDS??????? I thought He doesn't have any WMD??? The UN forbids them I thought...

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

They certainly travel less than the 95 mile limit...

It's a good deal further than 95 miles to Isreal from Iraq. How did those SCUDS reach Israel last go around if they can travel no more than 95 miles?

Maybe he didn't think Gore was the candidate for the RATs!

Only with Hillary!™ as heartbeat-away-from-the-President...

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I'd love to see the Iraqi's liberated but if anything is launched at Isreal the US had better stand back because Isreal will use some of it's Nukes. There might not be many Iraqi's who would survive.

Stand back? We should help them finish the job.

[null and void]

Who's the secretary of defense?

[Madcelt]

Yep. Prep for Hillary.

[SierraWasp]

"...we'll "loose" a missle and it will go "astray" and "accidentely" hit that reactor in Iran."

Like I've always said... Shift Happens!!!

[PhiKapMom]

That sends chills up the spine! Evil man!

[PhiKapMom]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[Balata]

They had you surrounded, but I knew you had them right where you wanted them. :)

The scores on the PGA tour are getting very low this year. The tour is making many of the par 5's into 4's. You'll see a par 68 this year.

Yeah, the gals aren't doing too bad either. The one had a 28 on the back for a 63 today and she didn't have the low round. Another gal shot a 62.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

You got a point,,maybe saddam cannot stand the tension and waiting for his homies to assassinate him so he is gonna throw the first rock,,it is possible.

Could be we spooked him. He moves first and then the hammer comes down.

[Vigilanteman]

One is a corrupt bully who is risking the lives of our troops. He is sneering at Britain, destroying democracy and endangering world peace. The other is Saddan Hussein.

[MigrantOkie]

"That's closer to 180 miles, and the only country that has anti-ship missiles with that kind of range is Russia (we retired the TASM a few years ago)."

That's because the missiles we do have and use often and have a greater range work just fine against ships too ;-)

[Sacajaweau]

The limitation on the distance Iraq's missiles can go is less than the distance to Israel. That is what that distance limitation is about. But of course, we now know that Saddam lies JUST A BIT. I would think he would use a mass of suicide bombers WITH CHEMICALS or the hand held missiles which have a range of about 24 miles I think.
