| Saddam is warned: We'd nuke Baghdad |
| 2002-09-19 |
| Caps as they APPEAR in the TABLOID! AMERICA will NUKE Baghdad if Saddam Hussein dares unleash weapons of mass destruction, it emerged last night. This comes as a SURPRISE? The chilling warning to Iraq was revealed by former Tory Premier John Major, who led Britain in the 1991 Gulf War. During that conflict, allied forces were armed with âbattlefieldâ nuclear weapons and prepared to use them in a counter attack, he said. Saddam was privately warned his capital would be obliterated if he used weapons of mass destruction against allied troops or Middle East targets â including Israel. Not wanting to become a CINDER, he didn't. Since he's going to become a cinder this time, he might... And senior security sources last night confirmed Saddam has been warned AGAIN of the consequences if he breaks the ban on using terror weapons. You don't SAY? Another one thanks to STEVE! |

| #3 Chuck, the question isn't 'will we srtop them?' It's, 'should we stop them?' The Israelis are unlikely to want to use nukes unless they get a chemical attack that causes large casualties. In that event I'd say nuke away. Now all we have to do is get Peter Jennings, John Pilger, Robert Fisk and Maureen Dowd into Baghdad |

| #2 Not long after the 1991 Gulf War, I was talking to a friend of a friend who was an IAF reserve pilot who flew business jets here in the US. He told me (and I realize that he could have been blowing smoke) that in 1991 the operational plans for the IAF were to take out every dam on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, flooding Baghdad. |

| #1 There is the persistant rumour that the Israelis were loading up their F-16's as the first Scuds fell and were only deterred from turning Bagdad into a parking lot by the massive deversion of US resources into Scud hunting. If Saddam hits Israel again, will we stop them? Could we see our F-15's flying BARCAP for Saddam while trying to also take him out? |
