  1. Scales of Desire- A Long Time in the Gulf

    Tuesday Jan 22 Khafji is hit with a mustard gas loaded SCUD shortly before the conventional Iraqi forces began their assault on the town. [1] The city fell with little resistance from the Saudi/Qatar forces. Two US Marine Reconaissance teams were "pocketed" within the city and captured after...
  2. John McCain instead of George W Bush

    I think John Mccain will have problems winning in 2000. 2000 had very low turnout and Dubya's pull on evangelicals helped him get his win (that and finagling at the highest levels, but I digress) McCain, meanwhile, will have lost that very important base by the time of the election.
  3. Scales of Desire- A Long Time in the Gulf

    Huh. I couldn't find a good source on sarin's properties under heat and consulted a friend of mine. He said in Saudi Arabian weather, it would dissipate in a few hours. Will gladly retcon that. Do you know about the viability of mustard gas remaining? Its a less serious agent, of course, but is...
  4. Scales of Desire- A Long Time in the Gulf

    Friday Jan 18 Three SCUD missiles were at Israel. The Patriot Missile systems successfully intercepted one of the missiles, but the Iraqi SCUDs tendency to break up in the atmosphere was an unintentional counter to the Patriot system. One of the missiles struck in central Israel, with few...
  5. A Tale of an AH Gaming Console War

    Just found this.... had never heard of it. Apple's game console.
  6. WI Tatarstan left Russia in 1992?

    1989 census does give less Tatars- but the matter is who identifies themselves as Tatar, not who actually is a Tatar. And I don't doubt that it would be an economic nightmare. But Tatarstan currently has a GDP of about 24 billion. Not bad for such a small area. And its primarily urban and seems...
  7. WI Tatarstan left Russia in 1992?

    2002 census says 52.9% are Tatars. 39.5% are Russians.
  8. John Nance Garner dead in 1932

    1932.... before the convention.... please read the OP. I hate to be rude, but you seem to do this sort of thing a lot.
  9. Scales of Desire- A Long Time in the Gulf

    Well, you'll see on that. Something will be happening in Baghdad, but note that it is "wholly defensive" and UN sanctioned as IOTL. For now.
  10. Scales of Desire- A Long Time in the Gulf

    REASON, v.t. To weight probabilities in the scales of desire. "If Israel attacks any Arab country ... we have the means to burn half of Israel."- Saddam Hussein, President and Prime Minister of Iraq "If Saddam Hussein chooses to use weapons of mass destruction, then the rules of this campaign...
  11. WI Tatarstan left Russia in 1992?

    Russia just lost their 8th most populous state.
  12. FDR killed in 1933 -- Yellow Dog

    One thing- Garner made something like one speech for FDR. He won't do anything more for Murphy. Do you have a source for the Murphy thing? And he was an FDR appointee.
  13. FDR killed in 1933 -- fragment: How Much Blood

    Just thought I'd repeat this. What?
  14. Empty America without the Emptiness

    But.... they didn't. He's talking about having OTL up to the point where colonization starts.
  15. Hard Ass Jews

    This was one of the big stereotypes of Eastern European Jews for a time in the United States.
