"I still don't get the point you're making, the Iraqi's had no intention of putting the nuclear material into rockets. I'm still waiting on the source and you trying to bundle terrorists with the Hussein regime doesn't help."

how do you know what the intentions of the iraqis were? how do you know that saddam had no intention of building a missile that could hit israel? saddam who had ALREADY ATTACKED israel MANY TIMES in the first gulf war was of course innocent of that and had no intention of ever doing it again...

:rolleyes: think

it's very simple. The Saddam government wasn't totally stupid.
Even if they could load up and build a little weakling nuke missile, what then? Launch it on Israel?
What would happen after that? Israel would have a relatively small crater, and Iraq would be completely wiped off the earth.
Intentions can easily be figured, if you have the knowledge.

Not just Iraq, I would guess Israel would go after more arab countries than one.

So if leaders of countries are automaticly assumed to have basic common sense, why do you assume th average poster lacks it?

Ross · Apr 22, 2004, 09:51 pm

The average poster is an independent armchair debater.
Leaders of countries are probably much more informed, surrounded by advisors and have plenty of years of experience with foreign policy.
Except Looney Man in North Korea. Unless he's really puppeted by the military there.

He's afraid of his own military. Someone behind him is pulling the strings.

Jong Il doesn't have his father's kahoneys.

Just his weaknesses.
