Could you post some picture of Iraq's Nukes? You seem convinced this is true so obviously you were also personally briefed?

They won't let me have pictures of the nukes. I had friends and family in Iraq.
Our leaders don't want to scare the babies.

So you have not seen the nukes... but you believe they were there? Or you saw the pictures during your briefing, but they won't let you have them...?
I don't know about any stock pile of bombs, but for sure Iraq was leading to making a stock pile for sure. It is a very long and detailed report so I will only post the beginning paragraphs.

Iraqi Nuclear Weapons
Before the 1991 Gulf War, Iraqi scientists had progressed through several design iterations for a fission weapon based on an implosion design (one that is much more difficult to develop than the alternative, gun-type design. Still at the early stages of completing a design, they had successfully overcome some of, but certainly not all of the obstacles to a workable device. Using highly enriched uranium (HEU), a completed device based on the latest Iraqi design reportedly might have weighed from about a ton to somewhat more than a ton.
How close Iraq was to completing a bomb is still open to debate. At the request of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a group of nuclear weapon designers from the United States, Britain, France, and Russia met in April 1992 to assess the progress of Iraq's nuclear program prior to the Persian Gulf War, based on documents that had been obtained through subsequent inspections. These designers reportedly concluded that bottlenecks in the program could have delayed completion of a working bomb for at least three years, assuming Iraq had continued its multifaceted strategy and design approach.
However, several experts familiar with the inspections believe that Iraq could also probably have produced a workable device in as little as 6 to 24 months, had they decided to seize foreign-supplied HEU from under safeguards and focus their efforts on a crash program to produce a device in the shortest possible amount of time.
Iraq had a very well-funded nuclear weapons program aimed at the indigenous development and exploitation of technologies for the production of weapon-usable nuclear material and the development and production of nuclear weapons, with a target date of 1991 for the first weapon.
[S/1997/779] It is reasonable to suppose that the first device, containing indigenously produced HEU, would not have been available before late 1992. Equally, if it is accepted that Iraq's strategy was to acquire a small nuclear arsenal before testing, it is likely that the need to demonstrate a delivery capability would not have occurred until 1994.

I retired before having any middle east briefing. I know in 1968 we were more worried about the middle east powder keg than old Ho Chi Minh. Especially when we informed Westmorland that eighty present of the population supports Big Minh. (communist)
People just don't want to believe Bush in any way.
Well Darroll, there are a lot more in this world than these one eye'd lefties on this forum. Right now there are about 60%, and sometimes more, that are just happy that Obama has less than two years left to destroy the US. Those are numbers from some very well respected polls in the US. I wish our elections would more closely follow the opinion polls but lots of folks no longer vote and far too many people will do party votes all the time.
Try this link and you can see how Obama's trust goes up and down. He is not steady in the eyes of the public.

When the Former Soviet Union broke up five nukes went missing (the employees were selling weapons out the back door).
The only peoples with enough money to buy these things was not Cuba.
Yes I believe that Saddam had nukes but the world is keeping quiet about the evidence. The people that showed our congress the proof, sure got quiet?
This lets Bush be the fall guy. (this is probably the reason he grins allot) (I don't think he cares what people think) (he kicked butt when it was needed)
The people that hate Bush would not believe there is/was nukes in Iraq under any circumstance(s).

Actually... I really don't blame Bush.... He was too stupid to come up with such an evil plot... The REAL culprit was Dick Cheney. He and his friends made millions off the war as contractors.. Halliburton ring a bell?

he accounting of the financial cost of the nearly decade-long Iraq War will go on for years, but a recent analysis has shed light on the companies that made money off the war by providing support services as the privatization of what were former U.S. military operations rose to unprecedented levels.
Private or publicly listed firms received at least $138 billion of U.S. taxpayer money for government contracts for services that included providing private security, building infrastructure and feeding the troops.
Ten contractors received 52 percent of the funds, according to an analysis by the Financial Times that was published Tuesday.
The No. 1 recipient?
Houston-based energy-focused engineering and construction firm KBR, Inc. (NYSE:KBR), which was spun off from its parent, oilfield services provider Halliburton Co. (NYSE:HAL), in 2007.
The company was given $39.5 billion in Iraq-related contracts over the past decade, with many of the deals given without any bidding from competing firms, such as a $568-million contract renewal in 2010 to provide housing, meals, water and bathroom services to soldiers, a deal that led to a Justice Department lawsuit over alleged kickbacks, as reported by Bloomberg.
Looks like you were duped too Darroll
