Iraq Warns of Heavy Losses If Attacked, page 1

I must assume that Saddam Hussein is scared #less and feeling pretty desperate right now. He knows his number is up and we're more determined than ever to get rid of him one way or another - the choice of how we do that is his.

He's been using his usual tactics of lying and playing for time with rhetoric and false promises. He must know that he's been operating on borrowed time since his gulf war escape when US officials stopped our forces from marching into and levelling Baghdad and either capturing or killing him.

Because desperate people do desperate things, I have no doubt that he would use any and all WMD at his disposal. I also believe that our government & generals know that also, and will have planned a lightening fast & totally overwhelming attack meant to shut him down ASAP. We realise that with our superior technology and public feelings about a possible war that we must get it over before Saddam can launch almost anything. I suspect that if this does happen, it will be over before Saddam can do too much. I imagine that the massive troop build up is for mopping up operations and protecting the introduction and build up of a democratic regeime in Iraq.

The recent news reports that Iraq successfully transferred their WMD to Syria may be why they're so adamant and confident that we will find nothing with the current inspections. One British government official has stated on TV that the British Intelligence community has received confirmation that Syria is in possession of at least some of Iraq's WMD. Well, if that's true then it would now drop Syria deep into this # too. Syria and Libya have both been maintaining low profiles for quite sometime, but I've always suspected them of secretly being involved in anti-American activities worldwide.

A Pakistani scientist has also now admitted that Osama Bin Laden approached him prior to September 11th to develop or transfer nuclear technology to his terrorist organization.

This issue isn't about countries or oil - our war isn't with Islam. We're fighting fanatical ideologies that are bent on the destruction of Western Capitalist society as a whole. They view our way of life and values as being evil and satanic. That's why they are willing to blow themselves up to harm even one single American citizen. They see it as doing a good thing and take solace in being sacrificial offerings to their God, Allah.

It's interesting that Islamic fundamentalists do not allow alcohol or sexually permissive activity - but secret bars, hash dens and harems are available to those devoutly religious men. The Arabs have long been known to kidnap or buy white girls & women on the black market (especially blondes) to be used as harem girls (sex slaves). Well, that's just another layer of hypocrisy that almost any fanatically religious person may use to cover their hidden activities from public view.

All I can say to Saddam Hussein is, goodbye and good riddance, be grateful for the extra time we've given you and realize that you misused it by continuing to play anti-American games. If you go up in smoke, it's your own fault old boy - your fate is in your own hands.
