Would there? Why didn't he use it, in fact? I mean, IIRC the Anarchist's cookbook reveals that gasoline + laundry detergent basically = napalm. [/QUOTE]Since I wasn't there, I'm not sure why Saddam didn't use it but I'll take a guess: He didn't have any WoMD?

Napalm is a jellied gasoline and the modern day version is made up of polystyrene (46 parts), gasoline (33 parts) and benzene (21 parts). Even if Saddam could make it, he still had no delivery agent. A napalm grenade perhaps? [/QUOTE]My point exactly. Grounded planes = no use for Napalm.
