By themselves, no. If you put a nuclear, biological or chemical warhead on them, then yes. |
Oh come on....

You're grasping at straws here. A nation's WMD, as Chimp said, still get counted with a nation's military power.

I'm not saying it isn't. I am contesting her point that since their tanks and infantry were useless against us, that means that Hussien was of no threat what-so-ever. She used their lack of coventional warfare capabilites to judge their unconventional. Do you see my point? Its like looking at a baseball team and saying, "Well they can't hit, so their pitchers must suck." Same team, different aspects.

I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood your argument. I thought you were saying that we never really did fear Saddam's military might, thus making her point moot...?
I think her point is still quite solid. Saddam was presented as a security threat (likened to Hitler, in fact). I think their pitiful display proved her correct. You can say "well, we REALLY feared the WMD," but why then didn't they use them? Was Saddam
still fearing public persecution from the international community? I highly doubt it.

Even if Saddam had these WMD, and he sold them to a terrorist network, it's still SADDAM then who poses the security threat, right?

Ya. Are you agreeing with me now?

No, I think I misunderstood you. But I think her point is still right on the money.
