#1 There is the persistant rumour that the Israelis were loading up their F-16's as the first Scuds fell and were only deterred from turning Bagdad into a parking lot by the massive deversion of US resources into Scud hunting.
If Saddam hits Israel again, will we stop them? Could we see our F-15's flying BARCAP for Saddam while trying to also take him out?

#2 Not long after the 1991 Gulf War, I was talking to a friend of a friend who was an IAF reserve pilot who flew business jets here in the US. He told me (and I realize that he could have been blowing smoke) that in 1991 the operational plans for the IAF were to take out every dam on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, flooding Baghdad.

#3 Chuck, the question isn't 'will we srtop them?' It's, 'should we stop them?'

The Israelis are unlikely to want to use nukes unless they get a chemical attack that causes large casualties. In that event I'd say nuke away. Now all we have to do is get Peter Jennings, John Pilger, Robert Fisk and Maureen Dowd into Baghdad
