Greg Stephens-Saddam doesn't care about "political considerations." If Britain had been invaded, while it was controlled by a brutal, homicidal dictator, and it did not use H-bombs even where it was military feasible to do so without harming the troops, I would have a hard time believeing that they existed. Likewise, if Saddam doesn't use NBC weapons, it's because he doesn't have them. He would gladly use them, despite the loss of Iraqi life, if he could.
