No, he can connect the dots. To someone who's incapable of connecting the dots, it just looks like reading minds.
Especially when the dots are non-existant
That's speculation but the idea that Saddam would give away his nukes to terrorists is inescapable logical deduction.
Nice twist. I've been consistently talking about WMD, not nuk specific, nor that Saddam would "give" anything away. The idea that Saddam would SELL some of his WMD, such as cases of sarin or containers of mustard gas, to terrroists he did have connections with, to be used on an enemy that they jointly despised, is acutely logical
By what magical cloak of invulnerability would Saddam survive if the US came to the conclusion that the nuke exploded on its soil came from Iraq?
You keep jumping to the conclusion that it would be a forgone conclusion that America would make that connection. Not even close. I bet he'd even expect certain members of the UN to come to his rescue, and decry how such connections were obviously flawed, perhaps even planted to make it look like Iraq. Reasonable doubt, and the Global community would make it clear that the U.S not make any attempt at retaliation. And that'd be the gamble
Right, so the guy's sitting on the second biggest proven oil reserves on the planet but he's so hard up for cash that he'll sell nukes to some crazy bunch of terrorists and hope desperately that word doesn't get out - - but (and here's where sirs displays his hard-won knowledge of the world) - - only "if the price were right."
You're kidding right? Someone with lots of money is content not to want any more. Yea, Gates doesn't want any more. I hear he's trying to sell everything, join a commune. Of all people Tee, you condemn "rich Republicans" every frellin day, the evils of capitalism, how dare rich people want to get richer. But Saddam is content with what he has.??...especially the amounts he'd request for something like WMD. You're bent, Tee. But, at least you stopped digging the Bush lied wbout WMD hole any deeper.
Uhh, that would be you, sirs. Letting us in on Saddam's gambling habits, and what they'll drive him to. Letting us in on Saddam's insatiable thirst for cash, and what he'll do for it.
Lemme see, how does that phrase go?...oh yea, I can connect the dots. And more so, observation of people's actions, especially from a military standpoint. Saddam was not simply the President of Iraq, he was their military leader, complete with uniform & sidearm. His military actions indeed included gambling. To someone who's incapable of connecting the dots, it just
looks like reading minds
Right, sirs. Of course. Forgive me. I had forgotten what impressive qualifications you possess in the means and techniques of investigating nuclear explosions and their residues, of intelligence gathering and criminal investigation. And - - remind me again sirs - - those qualifications are . . . ?
The same ones you're using that make it a forgone conclusion that the U.S. would know it was Saddam's WMD, thus he wouldn't dare let one loose
Uhh, and in terms of Saddam's trying to decide whether or not to give a few nukes to those pesky terrorists, this would enter into his decision-making process how?
It doesn't. As I said, he'd probably be looking at the dollar signs, which he could then use to help rebuild his own military complex. Especially when he could combine it with the corrupted oil for food program, from the UN. gotta rebuild all those palaces some way
