That what he's holding back are the same kinds of chemicals that he used defensively against Iran and the Kurds during past warring conditions.
DEFENSIVELY??????????
Are you serious?
IRAQ STARTED THE IRAN-IRAQ WAR, FELLA! So how is his use "defensive"? You appear to be so deeply into the enemy's thought patterns that you couldn't find truth any more with both hands and a guide dog.

I'd also say that the use of that word to justify his use of chemical weapons against other Iraqis is highly questionable. That's like claiming Sherman's use of a scorched earth policy on the march through Georgia was "defensive".

Get off it. The ONLY reason Iraq didn't use them in Kuwait was that they were an easy conquest when he initially attacked and that wasn't necessary, and then when he was being kicked out, it was by US troops who would do much, much worse to him if he did.

It's my suspicion he will use them if the US attacks Baghdad.
President Bush has made QUITE CLEAR what the consequences of THAT will be. I bet he doesn't. If he does, then he has proven he really does rank with Hitler because he doesn't care if his people are incinerated.

Defensive, my a$$.
