Andrew Sullivan - Nukes and Iraq

Sullivan

TWO OFF-HAND COMMENTS: One from the proverbial administration official. He told me over the weekend, “On September 10, I believed that the terrorists probably had a nuclear capacity, but that they weren’t crazy enough to use it. Now, I believe the complete opposite. They probably don’t have any yet, but the minute they do, they’ll deploy it.” Another person involved in the administration told me that an attack on Iraq was inevitable – and that it would be much sooner than most of us expect.

Hmmmmmm..

The nuke situation. I have pondered that in my tiny brain for a while and have not come to any conclusion as to if they have them or not or if they would be stupid enough to use them if they did indeed have them. Depends on my mood when I wake up each morning as to how I feel.

Now the Iraq situation. That is a tough one. Seems like the entire world is warning us not to attack Iraq. The Saudi's want us off their land. I don't think that we could make any large scale attack just from Turkey. Let us all hope that before the US goes and attacks Iraq that we have very good justifiable cause that the world will accept, all except the other Muslim countries as I doubt they'll ever agree.

I hope they don't hit Miami any time soon, we are almost back in the house. Hopefully by next weekend.

I'd really like to be living in the house for a while first...

So, let us know when the house warming is. If I can't be there, I'll still toast ya!

You mean you didn't have it nuke-proofed during all that?

Gawd, I can't believe HOW LONG it's taken to get it liveable again. I bet you can't, either!

two weeks of that is because the plumber wasn't showing up when he said he would.
