I doubt Iraq has a lot left of these weapons. They certainly don't seem to have any long-range missiles left. The US will look bad if they don't turn up anything - I suppose there are some. Using them will reveal to the world that the US was right. They want the UN etc. to still intervene and stop the attack some how.

I would suppose that Iraq's strategy would be to take on the US/UK force once it crosses out of the desert and into the agricultural regions between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers and/or guerilla attacks which we are seeing a little of now. They can't control Kurdistan anyway so was unlikely to see them trying to resist in the southern desert area either. I would think it a mistake not to occupy places like Basra, one has to think they know what they are doing but seems the potential there just to end up in a guerilla quagmire. And the longer the US is there the more resistance that there will be as people may no longer be defending this regime but fighting the occupiers as against Israel in South Lebanon....

JMHO
