Nuclear Weapons





The IISS Dossier then goes on to analyse Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons programmes. It carries an extensive examination of Iraq’s programmes to produce highly enriched uranium (HEU) through various enrichment technologies, first electro-magnetic separation and then gas centrifuge. On the eve of the Gulf War, Iraq was on the verge of producing significant amounts of HEU that would have allowed it within two to three years to produce its first nuclear weapon. Had the Gulf War not intervened, Iraq could have accumulated a nuclear stockpile of a dozen or so weapons by the end of the decade.







The Gulf War heavily damaged Iraq’s nuclear facilities. By the end of inspections in 1998, the IAEA was confident that Iraq’s indigenous nuclear weapons programme had not produced more than a few grammes of weapons useable nuclear material.







At the same time, Iraq’s nuclear potential was not completely eliminated. Most importantly, the scientific and technical expertise of Iraq’s nuclear programme survived, and Baghdad has tried to keep its core nuclear teams in place working on various civilian projects.

Got NUKES?

This thread is not very popular.

It was clear for everybody that Hussein owns nerve gas and other chemical weapons and also capabilities for biological warfare. It was dicussed to the extend, that America itself delivered nerve gas agents and small pox.



There was a very 'alive' exchange of Universities within the USA and Iraq about small pox and other crucial biological substances. Only the USA, Russia and Iraq had the small pox alive. Iraq was a very welcomed "test center", where crucial substances were tested, without risking too much in a country the size of France, just filled with sand.



It was always the position of the war opposing U.N. members, that Hussein has to destroy all WMD's. Most of the war-opposing U.N. members strictly ruled out any warfare and the dangers of WMD-use by Iraq when provoked through war, but vowed for a peaceful disarming.



At least I can speak for my own country, which would have not backed a war by finding WMD's. This was not the issue and the dispute within the U.N., it was the fact that the USA overruled the U.N. Every find of WMD's is simply changing nothing over here. If Iraq would have used WMD's, there would be less sympathy for the Iraqi regime, however Iraq did not use WMD's, even with American soldiers in their capital.



The USA are seen over here as WMD-Maniacs and hypocrites, while the Iraqi information minister has more credibility when he says something, compared to any U.S. official, and this while knowing that the Iraqi info-minister talks fairytales all day long.

SMALLPOX scares the CRAP out of me, more so than the threat of Bombs, Artillery, Bullets, and Nukes.

Even before the war started I continually asked why it's ok for some people to have those types of weapons but not ok for Saddam. We have stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons in direct defiance of treaties and international agreements, but yet that doesn't matter, we are more concerned about other's behavior rather than setting a good example for others to live up to. And honestly, we'd have a lot more credibility if we took the higher ethical/moral path, but we won't.

SMALLPOX was eradicated. By 1977 there have been no new cases of it.



The RATFACED BASTARD SKAGS have stockpikes of it:







THAT is what it does.



Here is the book that scared the FUC|< out of the nation:

They have all kinds of nasty shi-ite as well as smallpox

[NRKofOver]

You can't make smallpox from something other than smallpox. The reality is they got it from some country who saved smallpox as a weapon. Maybe it's not the US, but it's someone just as unethical for the US for saving it, which the US has done under the guise of vaccination. At least recognize for every psychotic Saddam in the world, there are hundreds, thousands, millions of unethical fools willing to amuse him.
