yeah yeah, no yelling,

they won't investigate what Americans do to Americans on American soil. But they would investigate what Americans do to Iraqis on Iraqi soil. See the difference?

Logistics would be a nightmare. Getting the nukes, which are rigorously accounted for here, disguising them, making them look Iraqi, planting them, rediscovering them, all a massive operation with grave implications. Not that Bush and co isn't capable.

It is more like they didn't have the time to make it happen. The planning for 911 would have taken years, by most accounts. A nuke-planting clandestine op would take almost as long, no? Perhaps the junta simply hadn't planned far enough ahead.

Remember, Saddam not only didn't have nukes, he didn't have the capability to make them, didn't have the facilities, the equipment, the personnel, the infrastructure, and on. So the planting of nukes becomes pretty dern tough. It would be one thing if Iraq had the nuke-making infrastructure but no nukes.
