CORRECTION:

Brumar, you wrote the following:

>>>Even Partytime, the thread host, here just said earlier today he thinks Saddam retains chemical weapons - of course, he trusts Saddam to only use them defensively.<<<

Please note my comment was that I suspect "Saddam to only use them defensively."

Consider logically that it was easy for South Africa to give up its weaponry. It's a bit more difficult for Iraq, given its history and location, to do the same so easily. Remember, Iran turned the tide and was winning against Iraq when he used them. It'd be my reasonable bet he's probably got a defensive supply, which he would hide, for any force that would attempt to take Baghdad. He's a military man in a military world and thinking of military conditions.

You'd like it to be a "good" war like WWII. But I'm afraid this one won't be. For one thing, Iraq isn't aggressing on anyone at the moment. We will clearly be the aggressors. You know who played that roll in WWII.
