Two or three thousand chemical protection suits were found in a hospital along with thousands of doses of atropine, the antidote for nerve gas. We are less than a week into this war folks. The inspectors had 12 years. Right now the military is engaged with the enemy and probably don't have much time to spare to look for WMDs. The chemical plant that was captured has scarcely been touched; they have only entered 5 of the around 100 bunkers in the complex.
There is also intel that Saddam has ordered the Republican Guard to use Chemicals (probably gas) if a certain line around Baghdad is crossed.
I understand that Saddam nearly bought all the atropine on the German market last year. Why buy it if not to protect his troops from the effects of nerve gas? Why have the chemical protection suits if not to protect against mustard gas? And WHO does he feel will use those proscribed agents?
You know damned well who. Saddam has used poison gas before and I personally have no doubt that he will use it again when the time is right for him.
NicoleC, your,"However, I equally suspet that if we don't find any WMD in Iraq pretty soon, we'll conveniently "find" them anyway." plays right into Saddams propaganda; that if WMDs are found, the US must have planted them. Yeah. Right. Whatever.
