SCUD's != Nukes

Post #80,874 by Brandioch 2/11/03 9:17:39 AM Reply	SCUD's != Nukes Newsflash for you. This was talking about Nukes and a "doomsday weapon". A difference of a couple magnitudes there (just in case you didn't know it). Someone who has taken a shot at you before and threatens to do it again you dont ignore. Oh, I'm sure he'd like to lob some more SCUD's at Israel. I'm just as sure that this will NOT have anywhere NEAR the effect of dropping one nuke on Israel.

Well, if you consider only the irradiated dust particles, then you'd be correct. But what about the explosion? The initial radiation burst that turns people into shadows? depends on the payload doesnt it? But that wasn't your original statement. The SCUD is the "delivery vehicle". Yes, he has SCUD's. No, he does not have nukes (or, there has been no evidence found that he has nukes despite the best efforts of the USofA).

Post #80,981 by Brandioch 2/11/03 4:59:53 PM Reply	That's why we measure in "kilo-tons" and "mega-tons". wanna tell me who had more casualties? Hiroshima or Dresden? Stop. Okay. Now, type in that you believe that Saddam will put an equivalent tonnage of conventional explosives on Israel as we put on Dresden. Go ahead. You're slipping from a discussion of Iraq's capability -to- A theoretical discussion on conventional vs nuclear weapons. Don't do that. Do you think that Saddam will put an equivalent tonnage of conventional explosives on Israel as we put on Dresden? And, as far as I know, the death count was HIGHER for Hiroshima than for Dresden (calculate in radiation induced cancer and such).
