We all know that Saddam Hussein had an atomic bomb program in the 1980s. What is needed to give Iraq a small nuclear arsenal ( lets say 50-150 warheads) by the year 2000? Bonus points if you can get Iraq to have them in the 80s during the Iran-Iraq war. I was thinking of Osirak 1 not getting bombed maybe because Saddam Hussein is smart and puts some flak and SAMs around it. Would that be enough? What would the middle east look like with a nuclear power Iraq under Saddam Hussein? Any POD is allowed.
