Re: Would a war against Iraq, with its risk of inflaming the ''clash of civilizations'' and its likely weakening of ties between the United States and our allies, make our nation more vulnerable to terrorist attacks?. No, Scott...perish the thought that we make our nation more vulnerable to terrorist attacks! ...quake, quake, shiver shiver...can't we all just get along?...jj BLAIR: SADDAM SEEKING NUCLEAR WEAPONS Tue Jul 23 2002 22:41:10 ET Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein is seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, Prime Minister Tony Blair claimed today. Mr Blair warned that in addition to his well-catalogued chemical weapons capability and his suspected biological weapons stockpiles, the Iraqi dictator has clear ambitions to add nuclear devices to his arsenal. Last week Mr Blair warned that Saddam's programme to develop weapons of mass destruction represented a "gathering threat", and that September 11 had demonstrated that some security threats are so grave that they have to be tackled pre-emptively. In an interview for next month's issue of the centre-left Prospect magazine, Mr Blair suggested that that threat could be nuclear as well as chemical or biological. Asked about suggestions that US President George Bush is preparing military action designed to oust Saddam, Mr Blair said: "If the time comes for action, people will have the evidence presented to them. "But be in no doubt at all that he is certainly trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction, in particular a nuclear capability."... drudgereport.com
