“Before
the UN inspectors came, there were 47 factories involved in the
project. Now there are 64.” Saddam has made two atomic bombs, says Iraqi defector: “Saddam Hussein has two fully operational nuclear bombs and is
working to construct others, an Iraqi defector has told The
Telegraph…The fresh evidence comes only a week after President George
W Bush took office. In his inaugural address, he promised to
confront weapons of mass destruction, without mentioning Iraq.
Under Anglo-US policy, any attempt by Saddam to build nuclear
or biological weapons could lead to military action.

Colin Powell, the US Secretary of State and a Gulf war veteran,
and Vice-President Dick Cheney are both known to favour a
radical approach in dealing with Iraq.” How convenient this comes up just a week after the contentions ascension of Dubya, as the international consensus to maintain the pressure on Saddam is fading. His father did so well consolidating his leadership of the “Free World” with the demonization of the Iraqi Hun.
