Tie Guy Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Well, if he's going to bomb us when the war starts then he already was going to bomb us and this just changes his time table. So, no reason to be worried about him now more than any other time, i don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clefo Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Pretty much what CD said, if Iraq, or anyone else for that matter, bombs us, All of Europe and the unharmed part of America will start sending cruise missiles up whoever's ass did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 If Iraq wants to nail us where it counts, they will wait till we make the first move, and then surprise us somehow. As long as Saddam is alive it is a POSSIBILITY that resides within us all. May God have mercy on our souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treacherous Mercenary Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Let me ask you all this. Who's within range to make a launch against the US? At least it's likely, but not much is being said either. So I might, just might be abit more worried about that instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Originally posted by Natopo After all the news I'm hearing, I'm getting pretty worried; as I am near one of the possible bombing locations. Do you live in the Middle East. If the answer is no then, no. Iraq doesn't have anything that could reach here(US). North Korea on the other hand... I live in Washington so I know what your worry is. If something happens it will mostly be some terrorist group and not Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc Stryphe Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Originally posted by Hannibal I live in Washington so I know what your worry is. If something happens it will mostly be some terrorist group and not Iraq. But that terrorsts group may be funded by Iraq or outfitted with an Iraqi bomb, possibly chemical/biological in nature. That is possibility that we must be aware of. Especially considering that Iraq does not have any conventional means of striking at America, he may resort to terrorist tactics. Funding, outfitting and training terrororists cells and sending them into the heart of the enemy. With talks of possible connections with the al-queda network, it is an even more viable means of attack by Suddam. There is a tape in london that is supposedly recorded by Bin Laden recently, but is still being authenticated. In that recording, Bin Laden predicts his own death as a martyr in one of his own suicide bombings this year. What better way for both parties, Iraq and Al-queda, to accomplish their goals then to have Iraq provide a weapon of mass destruction, and Al-queda to provide the bodies, planning, and insertion for that weapon. The possibility is becoming more real, and we must be vigilant in our quest to ensure that doesn't happen. Does it call for war, I don't know, but I'm glad I'm not the one making that decision.

Hannibal Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Ok, I see. He does have the ability(and financial means) to finance a terrorist attack. But I doubt he'd do anything directly, because he has to much to lose. Bin Laden and other terrorists don't have a country to lose. If Saddam played a part in bombing the US, he'd not only be removed from power but I think they'd make sure he was dead too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right now, but we are gearing up for war with Iraq, with or without the UN's support. If We are already at war with Iraq and we will not stop until Suddam is out of power, than all bets are off. Suddam, when backed into a corner, will find anyway he can to lash out at his enemies. If this war goes forward, we must be very aware and alert to the possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows if they provoke the USA the USA will send it's godly wraith and defeat them in a few months. Well, i doubt a nuclear bomb set off in a city will have a return adress. Iraq, as others have said, could easily give his weapons to terrorist groups for them to use (remember the anthrax?), and they could use it without invlovling Iraq directly. That is most likely why he is making these bombs in the first place. Its us or Israel, if he has a nuke he is most likely planning on using it on one of the two. One bomb does you nothing in a war. The only purpose in creating a very small number of bombs is to use them for a suprise (aka terrorist) attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagobahn Eagle Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I think mainly the threat of a bomb hitting the USA from Iraq is something Americans have convinced themselves of (and been convinced of by Bush's propaganda-like statements). The media which tells us we're all screwed is not thrustworthy either, in my opinion, and a lot of people are just plain out misinformed. TIME Magazine: The French refuse to help the USA in Iraq. Of course, if Saddam marched on France, we know who they'd call. March on France? Yeah, you'd just have to fight NATO trough Turkey, Germany, and several East European countries . Besides, being invaded is not the same thing as taking part in a pre-emptive attack. USA's embassy in Oslo: We do not understand how you [Norwegians] can be so Anti-American. Who saved you during World War II? Er.. different thing? Forummer, XWA Upgrade Project: Don't you understand that Iraq poses a grave threat to every nation in the world, including the USA???? Uhh.. think I'll just snicker that one off.. To me, it's self-fueling anxiety, combined with this stupid colour-coded Terror Alert thingie (which just helps provoke fear and thus helps the terrorists). There is no evidence Iraq is planning to attack the USA. Yes, he has weapons of mass destruction, but that does not have to be a sign he's planning to use them.

Jatt13 Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 well, i'm not going to get into another discussion about saddam planning on using them again, but i don't think he'll "bomb us". attacking us some other way, like others have suggested, is what would most likely happen, if he decides to go offensive. but i think you should change option 4 to God help Iraq if they bomb us, 'cause they'll probably cease to exist if they do. oh, and eagle, plz don't start calling bush's statements propaganda. it'll just start another big argument.

pbguy1211 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 the only way saddam will be able to do anything to the US is to use gases on our ground troops like in desert storm... or to use some terrorist type tactics... i don't think he's along the lines of a terrorist, that's the al queda's M.O. and if they try something, they most likely wont be near as successful as last time... last time we didn't see it coming and didnt know what was really going on... but now, people would be much, MUCH more vigillant!

Jared Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Well, if iraq of north korea bomb us, then we're all dead anyway so why bother wondering "what happened??" before our lives are stuffed out by some insane person?

Nute Gunray Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Originally posted by TK-421 Well, if iraq of north korea bomb us, then we're all dead anyway I don't see how a country with two nuclear weapons can destroy hundreds of millions of people.
