We are the U.S. .... we are damned if we do..... and even more damned if we don't....
What makes you think he will use those weapons if he has them? He is not stupid, he is trying to avoid war with the U.S. like the plague. He knows what happened the first time, what on earth makes you think he wants to start it again?
If anything, he will use them only IF we attack. He launched SCUD missles at Israel only during the first gulf war because he thought he was going to be booted out of power.
If we push him into a corner, who knows what he will do. Right now he has not done anything that deserves military action since the first conflcit. Has he threatened the U.S. with some "jihad"? Has he threatened anyone? Take a good long look at North Korea and tell me why the same 'rules' we are putting on Saddam dont aply to them?
We know for fact North Korea has nukes. So what, right? He has threatened us with his "Any sanctions put on North Korea will be treated as an act of war."
Going ahead with this war will start a downhill spiral resulting in everyone on the planet invading their hated neighbor because "he could possibly might be a threat sometime down the road."
What happened to Osama?
