Doug,

No one breakin' ranks here, buddy. Yeah, sure. If Saddam has nuclear weapons that can't be delivered than we have a problem, 'cept he don't. Bush even knows he don't.

Like I've tried to tell you before, it ain't rocket science to realize you're gonna need some good ones to deliver a nuclear warhead with any level of accuracy.

Now, rockets ain't exactly invisable and when folk go firin' em off other folks know it. Most rockey programs blow yp a lot of rockets before they actually get the first one off the ground.

So there's Saddam, with his nuclear device inside a suitcase that is duct taped to the nose cone of lets say a scud. We'll, during the Persian Gulf thing Saddam found out that he doesn't know the first thing about even flying one of them.

So there's a couple of fuses that need to be lit. One fir the nuclear device in the suitcast taped to the rocket and then one fir the rocket and Saddam has a book of matches in his hand.... Oh no, this is not a good sign.

"Hmmmmm?" Saddam wonders outloud. "Which one do I light first and then what if I light the nuclear device in the suitcase and then can't get the rocket one lit. Hmmmmmm? Waht happen if like the last time I lit one of these rockets it went stright up and came right back at me? Hmmmmm? What if...."

So Saddam figures that maybe today isn't a good day for flying his rocket afterall...

The End

And, Doug. This little story is not far off the mark...
