US willing to push for Iraq weapons inspection

Aug. 17, 2002 - A senior administration official has said that the U.S. would still like the resumption of weapons inspections in Iraq, but believes that Iraq would not allow it.

The official stressed that it would be a way of demonstrating to the growing number of sceptics at home and abroad that Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi leader, is a barrier to eliminating weapons of destruction and therefore must be toppled.

Saddam's Plan to Defeat U.S.

Aug. 10, 2002 - According to former Iraqi insiders, Saddam Hussein will not position troops in the desert where they were easily defeated during the Gulf War, but will draw attackers into the heart of civilian populations where the war will be very difficult to win.

As always, Saddam has no compunction about exploiting his subjects as human shields. The higher the death toll, the louder the cries from the blame-America-first left, domestic and foreign.

Saddam warns against Iraq attack

Aug. 8, 2002 - Responding to the threat of a premptive attack, Iraq's President, Saddam Hussein, said that evil forces were plotting against Iraq, but if they attacked, they would fail and die in the process. He has asked for talks about the possible resumption of weapons inspections, but Washington doubts his sincerity and considers his development of weapons of mass destruction a major threat in the war on terrorism.

US President George W Bush appeared to acknowledge international pressure against an offensive, saying on Wednesday he would "continue to consult with Congress, and of course we'll consult with our friends".

Conflict could soon be nuclear

Aug. 7, 2002 - A former Pentagon and State Department employee delivered his report to a Senate committee last week stating that an attack on Iraq could escalate into a nuclear conflict. Since a first strike by the U.S. would not likely take out all Iraq's mobile launchers, Iraq would probably retaliate with biological or chemical weapons against Israel, and Israel would react with nuclear devices against Iraq.

Whitehall dossier says Saddam plans biological weapons for Palestinians

Aug. 3, 2002 - British authorities believe that Saddam Hussein's forces are preparing biological weapons to be used against Israeli and American targets.

Using mobile laboratories for their research, the team of scientists working for Saddam are believed to be developing a range of biological agents that can be “delivered” by an aerosol system.

It is well known that Saddam has funded Palestinian extremist groups for many years, and it would be a logical extention of this relationship to equip them to fight Israel.

Invade Iraq, But Bring Friends

July 29, 2002 - Newsweek writer, Fareed Zakaria, argues that Iraq was one of the most advanced, literate and civilized countries in the Middle East before the reign of Saddam Hussein. If Saddam could be toppled, and if it could be done with the support of other Arab leaders in the area, Iraq could lead the Arab world away from violence.

Done right, an invasion would be the single best path to reform the Arab world. The roots of Islamic terror reside in the dysfunctional politics of the region, where failure and repression have produced fundamentalism and violence.

World War III Coming?

July 23, 2002 - Joseph Farah, in his commentary, The global strategic threat, warns that war with Iraq is necessary to avoid another first-strike catastrophe like the 9-11 event. Intelligence sources reveal that Iraq has nuclear capability, and a year from now would be able to mass produce them. They currently have large stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons. It is most likely that this war will be much bigger than the Gulf War or the operation in Afghanistan. And it is known that many Iraqi operatives are already in the U.S., and will undoubtedly try to retaliate, once the strike against Iraq has begun. Farah says he hates to be an alarmist, but the evidence is very sobering.

Yes, what I am describing sounds like World War III. That's what it will be. Sound like Armageddon? It may well be.

U.S. restocking smart bombs for Iraq

July 19, 2002 - According to Stratfor, the global intelligence company, supplies of one of America's main munitions was depleted by military action in Afghanistan, and has probably caused a delay in plans to carry the War on Terror to Iraq. The smart bomb in question is Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) which is guided by Global Posistioning Satellite, and is much less expensive than laser-guided bombs.

... production of the GPS-guided smart bombs now is accelerating, and the Pentagon should have enough stockpiles to attack Iraq by late this year should the order come from the White House, says Stratfor.

The release of this information, which would normally be kept secret, is evidently meant to warn and intimidate Iraq.
