Is Israel the Same as South Africa?

Regional Target(s) for a hypothetical Iraqi nuclear attack in either 1991 or 2003?

The mustering areas for Coalition conventional forces, once most of the boots and assets are in-place?

Cook-down a few Divisions before they sortie?

Legitimate self-defense?

Yeppers...

Right up to the detonation of the first US nuclear warhead airburst over Baghdad...

Cook-down a couple of our divisions, we cook down a couple of your cities...

We'll see how long you keep it up, at that kind of exchange rate...

How do you know Saddam didn't move his WMD'S before the U.S invasion ?
I'm not saying he definitely had them, but if he did, he had lots of time to move them somewhere else from the time he thought the U.S might invade up until the time that they did .

IMHO, Saddam never doubted the outcome of a US invasion of Iraq; if he possessed a nuclear weapon and adequate delivery system, he would have used it against the US staging area in Kuwait. Assuming that scenario, do you believe he would have acted in self defense?

I'm confused (it's early in the morning) . Would Saddam have acted in self defense if what ?

From Saddam's POV, tens of thousands of foreign hired killers were massing for an advertised invasion of Iraq inside Kuwait. Put that shoe on the other foot, and conjure an equal number of Muslim assassins massing in Mexico for an assault on the US homeland. Would not either victim of aggression be entitled to defend its sovereign territory by all means at its disposal?
