Now, one of the Iraqi internal security guys says that this is a "stupid report." Well, here's the thing about this, folks. So we have this report from UPI that three missiles carrying nuclear heads concealed in a concrete trench have been discovered near Tikrit. We got the security guy saying, "That's stupid. That isn't true." Now, I can understand wantin' to go keep this quiet, (laughing) if they discovered live nuclear missiles, you know, laying around in trenches in Tikrit. But the real question, ladies and gentlemen, is not did we find nuclear missiles in Iraq. That is to miss the point. As is it the case with the Sandy Berger investigation, the question is "the timing of the leak." The question here is, "How old are these nukes? Could they be remnants from Hitler, from World War II? Could they be prior to the Gulf War of '91? Could these nuclear weapons have been there before we went to war in 2003?" And really, it's only three, just three nuclear missiles, so I don't know what the hubbub is about.
So, they're nukes. It's just three of them, and they may be old, Mr. Snerdley. You are focusing on the wrong aspect of the story. The focus is not that we have found some nuclear weapons in Iraq, or that it's reported. The interest is, "How did we do it?" Who leaked the information the stuff was there to be found? How old are these nukes, and whose are they? If you don't learn to look at it the way this is going to be portrayed in the press -- in fact, I'm not aware that anybody besides UPI has reported this and even picked up on this, because if this is true, heh, heh, heh. Joe Wilson, anybody? If this is true, I mean, Fahrenheit 9/11, anybody? (Laughing.) So we just have to keep a sharp eye on this, but until we know if it's true, we're going to look at it in the approved way, and that is, "So what? It's just three, and they could have been there a long time."

Actually, I would be more concerned with where they came from. The did not have (or ever have) the technology to preduce either the nukes or the missles to carry them. Which means some one sold them the complete missle package.
Who, what type, what is the range, what is the power of the nukes are the first questions that come to my mind.

I am not as confident as you Moxnix. There has been weapons grade plutonium found under reactor complexes. No one has confirmed anything with any certainty but the question remains open and they do find the stuff. We know soviet guidance devices were intercepted. How many made it through? We know he has scud missile launchers, he bombed the sheet out of Isreal already so he has (had) the ability to piece something together. But don't get me wrong, I too ask "where did these things come from" and does Iran use the same dealer? How many are out there. How long before Bethleham is BLOWN off the face of the Earth by a bomb in a push pram? What if Cells in the United States have devices buried under concrete to elude routine anlaysis by security personal? I have heard off record comments circulating radical media that states perhaps 5 or 6 could exist. In my opinion the only reason we haven't had an explosion is the strict non-proliferation of technology. But eventually these people with radical ideals will develope opportunity to destroy on a mass scale. Why take out a bus of Isreali school children when you can eliminate their parents and bloodline as well?
Now if real nukes were found, the official stance would be "they don't exist" until the area is secured. So we have to wait....
