RE: Sadam AGAIN?
So you don't think he's been supplied any new weapons. If you're right thats would be a releif, a couple of old (probably poorly maintained) Scuds need not worry Israel too much.
The main threat is that other Arab countries would unite with Iraq (unlikley) against Israel in light of the recent clashes on the West Bank.

RE: Sadam AGAIN?
Saddam is all bluster- Iraq in no way has the moxie to threaten Israel- unless you're talking nukes or chemical weapons. COnventionally, the Iraqis can do little- of course, if they do become crazed enough to use WMDs against Israel- then Iraq would be good for little more than serving as a nice research location for future archeologists (I'd say the radition would reduce in 20 odd years).

Hindu pig- of course you will side with the Jews. Allah will ensure that the Zionists pay ten fold for the innocent blood they have spilled in Palestine.

RE: Sadam AGAIN?
Will he? He hasn't done much to punish the Israelis so far has he?
Doesn't it make you doubt Allah's powers a little Ghazi?
I mean, the Israelis have been beating the Arabs pretty conclusivley in wars for 50/60 years now, what has Allah done to help you?
I say, sod Allah and buy yourself some S-300s from the Russians!

RE: Sadam AGAIN?
What you all fail to realize is that the Israeli military hasn't been decimated by constant Coalition airstrikes over the past 10 years. Unless Saddam has managed to pull nuclear warheads out of his "backside", and even though I support the Palestinians in their cause, I have to go with Israel over Iraq.

I saw this article on the BBC News website and could hardly beleive my eyes. Can Sadam really be threatening Israel? I doubt it but I thought you guys might find it interesting.
Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has said his country could destroy Israel if it was given access to land next to the Jewish state.
On Wednesday, Iraq's state controlled newspapers carried the president's threat, which he made following the recent bloody clashes between Israelis and Palestinians.
Iraqis are calling the threat one of the strongest statements by Saddam Hussein in years.
An idle boast or a serious threat to Israel? With Iraq's unpredictable leader, it is hard to tell.
The government controlled press quoted the president as saying Iraq could put an end to Zionism in a very short time if only it was given a piece of land next to Israel.
That is highly unlikely to happen, but Iraq did physically attack Israel during the Gulf War nine years ago by firing 39 Scud missiles at the Jewish state.
Iraqis say the clashes over the last few days between Israeli forces and Palestinians have enraged their president.
Angry outburst
On Tuesday he was seen on television banging his fist on the table in anger, criticising Arabs for not doing enough in response to Israeli killings in the Palestinian territories.
He said the great people of Iraq were ready to destroy Zionism right now and he called on Arabs to brandish their swords and make the sacrifices needed.
Iraq has also been calling for a holy war to liberate Jerusalem from Israeli control. President Saddam Hussein has said Iraq did not need to wait for sanctions to be lifted before striking Israel.
The United States says it closely monitors Iraq for any signs of military activity, but United Nations inspectors looking for Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction have not been in the country for nearly two years now.
What can he mean "Iraq doesn't have to wait before sanctions are lifted before stricking Israel". Does Iraq still have weapons with enough range to hit Israel? Has it purchased new ones? If so, from who?
