What If Iraq Nukes Itself ~~~ Blames It On US?

What If Iraq Nukes Itself ~~~ Blames It On US?

Let us suppose for a moment that Iraq has enough material to make a small nuke;

that there is no delivary system available to them to use it effectively on their enemy;

but instead trucked it into one of their many semin useless military bases and fired it off on the surface;

followed by an immediate surrender by Iraq to the UN because US nuked them;

with all manner of claims of US agression and pleas for mecry:

That is a big question and not one that is above the mindset of Iraq's leaders.

Were they to do something like that the strategy would probably work...we, US, wouldn't dare fire another shot at them...they hope.

The alternative position of US might to be to just nuke everything there and finish the job...but?

Your opinions please.

    If you are willing to dream up conspiracy scenarios, why couldnt the US military just bring in a small nuke of their own and detonate it and then claim conclusively that Saddam had one all along. Then we'd already be there with enough gathered force to invade immediately. Much more plausible as conspiracies go.

    We could go even further in the speculation Diesel. Saddam could ask allies in, say, Jordan to fire a rocket/missile of any type to Iraq- something that will barely register on people's radars and will look that might be coming from beyond Jordan. Iraq would then detonate a nuke in its own country and claim Israel had launched a nuclear attack on them.

    A highly unlikely scenario, but could make a good airport thriller. I might even contact Tom Clancy with the idea and get a cut of the profits. :D

    OOh I have an interesting conspiracy theory for ya diesel, That report on the nuclear material that was found in the Turkish taxi? Well since Turkey has long been one of our heavily financed allies, one could suppose that it would be a rather easy feat to hire some Turkish operatives and supply them with some nuclear material from our own supplies via the CIA and then concoct an arrest and point it all at the Iraqi regime to bolster the urgency for war. Clancy might like that one too Aladdin, give him a call. lol.

    Clandestine, of course I'm jokeing...that is why god made smilies!:D

    Here's another try at it;

    one of SH's doubles during a LARGE public address and appearance pulls out his pistol and commits suiside!

    the world think's SH is dead...perhaps this could happen after the fake nuke attack, (fna).
    :cool:

    'Smilies' is an anagram of 'missiles' (if you add an 'S' for Saddam)...

    Something to think about, eh? :crazyeyes

    Or just Missile if you don't ;)

    Another alternative is for the a for CIA hit team to take out Saddam, one shot from behind with a second from say behind a fence by a grassy embankment. Then they could set up some poor unfortunate patsy to take the fall. Except before he can really talk to the police they could get some low level mobster to shoot him in the police station....

    True. Why do I always undermine a perfectly plausable explanation with extraneous details? Have I never heard of Occam's Razor?
