Given he's such a vile, unprincipled and evil dictator - with absolutely nothing to lose - don't you think it's extremely good and kind of him not to use any chemical weapons? Even when he's personally attacked?

Oh, I forgot, it's because he's so concerned about his image in the wider Arab world. He thinks that's more important even than his own or his sons' survival.

BTW, do you think someone will point out that chemical weapons are NOT WMD - they're nasty weapons, to be sure, but one chemical warhead will kill far fewer people (especially soldiers) than one MOAB.

Since searching for WMD is a secondary activity, and since most will only be found when the scientists and engineers are free to speak, you have a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Have fun with it, nobody will buy it, save maybe the keepers of odd knowledge society.
