I don't think he'd hesitate to use them on 'infidels' if he uses them on his own people.

Quite simply because it is not possible to prove a negative. It is not possible to divine anothers actions until they do them.

We (those of us getting info only through news feeds) have no idea about the capabilities of Iraq's WMD or it's current ability to deploy them. There is also very little ability to determine any status on Iraqi WMD until the country is stablized and the country can be inspected thouroughly.

Just because he hasn't used them doesn't mean he doesn't have them. It doesn't mean he does have them either, but this whole speculative question is just that, and moot to debate.[/QUOTE]If he has them do you think he'd use them?[/QUOTE]Nope. Most of his WoMD from what I've heard rely on Artillery and Missile delivery systems. He's lost most of those from what I've heard. Centcom is reporting that the Iraqis are down to their last few tanks. I have to assume that goes for his artillery as well. Hard to lob those large caliber arty shells far by hand!
