Long Island Guy Something is bothering me. In 1994 Billy and Jimmy made a mutual pact with North Korea to prevent North Korea from working on a nuclear weapon. To insure this pact the IAEA inspectors under Mohamed Al Baradie were sent to North Korea. Nine years later the North claims to have nuclear bombs. The inspectors were then thrown out By North Korea. Al Baradie says he"was surprised". Iran, under inspection by the IAEA under Al Baradie, is not supposed to be making weapons grade plutonium, but Al Baradie, recently, said he was "surprised" by how far the Iranian nuclear program had progressed. Iraq claims to have no nuclear weapons. Last week, in a UN session, El Baradie states "his inspectors have no evidence of nuclear weapons". Will he be "surprised" again? Inquiring minds want to know???? Ken Why do I feel insecure re: this statement by Mohamed Al Baradie??

Saddam hasn't attacked anyone in 12 years. That's a long time. To say he's an imminent threat is wildly speculative. And the claims of his direct ties to terrorist groups dont hold water. Nor do the claims he's developing nukes. Yes he probably has some WMD buried somewhere and we want them found and will find them. But that doesn't mean we need a 200 billion unilateral invasion where many thosuands of our troops could get killed. Saddam is laying many booby-traps for us now, passing out 7 million automatic rifles. It could be a meat-grinder trying to pacify that place. And Saddam may blow up his oil-fields which means we have to pay for everything. A huge reckless risk being taken here. Sorry.
