He has used them. Not once, but repeatedly. Unleashing chemical weapons against Iranian troops during a decade-long war.
Sorta like the USA in the Vietnam war?
Not only against soldiers, but against civilians
Like the USA in WW2 and in the Vietnam war?
firing Scud missiles at the citizens of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Iran
Since none of those missles ever hit thier targets and were intercepted shortly after launch, who's to say exactly where they were headed?
Perhaps they were aimed at US bases in the aforementioned countries.
Bahrain and Iran. And not only against a foreign enemy, but even against his own people, gassing Kurdish civilians in Northern Iraq
The USA incited the Kurdish rebellion in Iraq.
The Kurds were originally promised support but the US backed out.
The Kurds are Saddams enemy.
The use of chem/bio weapons is heinous and I don;'t support it in any way, but to state that Saddam used bio/chem weapons 'on his own people' is totally taken out of context. He used bio/chem weapons on his enemies.
The international community had little doubt then, and I have no doubt today, that left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again.”
Shortly after that, the UN weapon inspectors were ordered out of Iraq by the United States.
Ironic, isn't it?
Do you honestly want to play footsy with a soon to be nuclear Saddam?
Saddam does not have nuclear wepaons, jackass.
The evidence that the CIA has linking him to the attempted purchase of 500 tons of uranium were found to be forgeries.
There has never been any evidence (that wasn't forged) proving Saddam Hussein has any nuclear capability.
The exact opposite is true... weapons grade plutonium and nuclear devices are easily detectable due ot the enormous amounts of radiation given off. If Iraq had these materials or weapons, the UN and the USA would know.
