So, N. Korea does it and we talk about six way talks meaning we will even negotiate with them. But with Saddam.....noooooooooo!
We had to invade and get at least 1600 US soldiers killed and thousands of Iraqi civilians. Big, bad USA. We will only fight you if you have no weapons.

1. He launched a few duds at Israel in the gulf war
sealing his fate.

3. Operative words "US destroyer" during a battle engagement.
Scuds at Israel...the US ally in the ME at a time when we were bombing the hell out of Iraq.

I'm talking about "testing" for possible nuke strikes.

4. It wasn't a battlefield engagement.
Happened during the Reagan administration. They claimed it was an accident--turns out not to be the case.
