I wonder what Churchill or Truman, FDR, or TR would have to say if they were here on this board listening to some of the drivel put forth against America and the fight for freedom WorldWide.......

Hi Neocon; Re: "I said nothing about being nuked, and, indeed, chemical suits and anti- toxins would not help in such an eventuality." Historically, US policy on chemical weapons is/was to use them in reprisal after enemy use. Since Bush talked over and over about how the Iraqis had huge amounts of the stuff, the Iraqis would naturally have been concerned that the US would slime them after faking an incident where the Iraqis used them first. Besides, the Iraqis had to be prepared for an attack by the Iranians, or the Israelis. -- Carl
