UK restates nuclear threat

Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon says Saddam Hussein "can be absolutely confident" the UK is willing to use nuclear weapons "in the right conditions".

Speaking on BBC One's Breakfast with Frost Mr Hoon said the UK reserved the right to use the weapons "in extreme self defence".

Thank you, Britain, for helping make the U.S. looking a little less like isolated, "trigger happy" cowboys and more as if you're our partner in confronting Saddam's armed aggression, deception and defiance.
Let's hope and pray that neither power is called upon to use this response.
Saddam, disarm, step down and leave power.
