And how many nukes and delivery systems would it take to reach that level?

I don't think a minimal nuclear capability increases Saddam's security, I think it severly diminishes it. The instant he can credibly claim nuclear weapons I think he's got severe problems.

Say what you will about George's saber-rattling, Iraq is closer than they've been in years to readmitting the weapons inspectors they agreed to in exchange for not gettting clobbered last time around. Unfortunately they're still playing rug-merchant with the issue, I don't think there's time left for that. Complete, immediate, actual compliance with what they agreed to is called for.
