No. >Are you kidding? Ah, missed communications. JDG was talking about the program in 1991. <quote> Just imagine how history might have been different if Saddam Hussein had simply waited two or three more years or so, and asserted his claim to Kuwait *after* acquiring nuclear weapons - and then began to talk about securing the Muslim Holy Land as leader of the Arab people..... <end quote> He asserted his claim in '91. JDG's point was not that Hussein had an active nuclear program in 2003, but that he had one in 1991, when he claimed Kuwait. If he had finished a couple of bombs first, and then invaded Kuwait, things would have been different. In a sense, we were lucky.
