YES! Red paint, all over the hands...

I think you're overreacting to a report the Herald Sun. Let's see if any of the big networks pick up on it.

You're right, sorry- since this is off Drudge, it's likely valid, very very recent intelligence. The networks aren't going to pick this up for another day I bet.

All Drudge did is link to the Herald Sun. I don't know if that means that it's valid.

Every time I look over this thread title in the forum list, I see "Saddam's boyfriend..."

It's unnerving. :Q

I personally hope its true, simply because even if it isn't, it probably still is.

Um, what I ment was even if its not true and this information wasn't leaked by the bodyguard or it was false information given, Saddam very likely has an arsenal similar to the one mentioned regardless. Having the proof now just means we can act more quickly to get rid of it then if we have to continue speculating.

Yeah, I hope it's true, too. That way, we can go to war right away, and end up having biological weapons dropped on our troops for sure, and then launching nuclear weapons at various population centers in response. Woo hoo!

Gotta love this whole "war" thing. I mean, I didn't even have to lift a finger!

Well, I had to get up to get the microwave popcorn. That was a bummer.

Of course no one wants war to happen but would you rather we didn't know, and never got a chance to act? If we know for sure he has WMD, I don't think we will actually be seeing any troops on the ground for quite some time until some aerial strikes or elite team forces get a lot of work done first.

I'd rather we go in there immediately and take care of him - ideally, we would have taken care of him back in the early 90's, and after NOT selling him biological/chemical weapons in the first place.

now that we told them where we know their stuff are, they are moving it this instant so as soon as the UN Inspector Squad with the Clear Marked Convoy arrive, it'll be long gone.

Underground bunkers below sand dunes? Underground passages? No way. He's hosed.

Yeah, but Saddam is very resourceful and cunning. He could just about make anything happen in Iraq.

Then why the negative comments in regards to getting in their quick to take him out?

Especially the North Korea - Iraq link. :D

Gotta love it. Let's hope this plays out real quick so we can get it over with. Ditto on North Korea, if in fact this is valid intel.

And the rest of 'them'? Like stated further up (or in another thread)... they're readying their "So why haven't we gone to war yet???" signs. :D
