Oh, I see: we brought our carriers and highly trained troops over so that Saddam can nuke 'em. Otherwise, he'd be unable to reach us, right? Makes perfect sense to me.
Larry, Those troops are there for WAR??.. Again, I'm not following your logic?...
I suppose that is a risk of the WAR our President is advocating. The WAR is supposed to begin with a massive and unprecedented bombing (pummeling) of Bagdad..... Saddam may very well use such weapons in defense, or even pre-emptively against US troops. But this is WAR - a pre-emptive or offensive war on the part of the US.
