#1 "Saddam Hussein rejected the production of weapons of mass destruction, but even under that pretense, he was destroyed and members of his family were killed," Putin said.

Such short memories. Vlad should speak to some of his United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) inspectors. One Russian colonel in the UNSCOM office comes to mind. Perhaps the colonel could explain to Vlad the actual thinking and facts at the time.

#2 Well Gaddafi gave up his nukes, see what Hildabeast and Obean did to him. Not a good precedent setting move.

#4 Given that Putin considers the collapse of the Soviet Union the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century, this might not be such a bad thing.

#5 The only country getting attacked will be North Korea. Nothing else is worth it, and there are no secret alliances. If China can go in and clean their fingerprints off Nork Nook tech before anyone else gets there, they'll be fine.

China would have to deal with Pakistan's A.Q. Khan . He got nuclear technology blueprints from China.

#7 So Pakistan got nuclear bomb tech from China and suddenly decided to shelter Bin Laden. In a world with non-retarded patriotic american leadership, that's worthy of a 100% tariff right there. IMHO.
