I'm surprised no one has noted this one yet: CNN's US site reported that Iraq has indicated that the Allies "may be the first to use weapons of mass destruction".
Undoubtedly they're laying the groundwork for their own first use, probably when our troops are in civilian areas. Saddam's only hope would appear to be to cause so many casualties among his own people that worldwide revulsion will pressure an end to the war before his own demise.
Even ol' Adolf didn't try THAT. Come to think of it, I can't think of anything quite like it in history.

Hey, I'm just a simple country boy from Missouri, please Show Me the source. You can report all you want; I'll separate the wheat from chaff.

"CNN's US site" I presume.

Did you read it or here it?
All I ask is Show Me. Please.

It's in the streaming headlines at http://www.cnn.com at 5:05 PST. The source for the statement regarding Allied first use was the Iraqi Minister of Information
-
OK, your source is the Iraqi Minister of Information?
Is this like the, 100 acre WMD chemical plant that FOX reported?
Please Show ME the LINK!
LOL... Heck, even a dumb hillbilly like me can find the CNN website.
Show Me!
-
1. Click on CNN link
2. Read streaming headline
3. Click on one that says IRAQ: COALITION MAY USE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
4. Read.
It's simple really.

I'm just reading the info you placed on the BBS.
(The "Big Lie" Has Started) Who is the source of the big lie?
CNN or the Iraqi Minister of Information?

Sorry, just yanking your chain. I have a choice, fight with you or face the PO'ed wife. Just between you and me, I'd rather be here!
Time to eat burnt chicken again... later.

The statement by the Iraqi Minister is the "Big Lie". Saddam and Co. can't possibly believe that we engage in the first use of WMD (we didn't use gas in the darkest days of WWII, hell even Stalin didn't use gas when the Germans were knocking on his front door).
The only reason I can see for such a statement is to lay the groundwork for their own first use and then blame it on us. A good deal of the Arab world would probably believe it. Most of the world wouldn't but the site of thousands of gassed civilians would lead to a deafening clamor for an immediate end to the war, regardless of who used the stuff.
Sorry if I didn't make that clearer in my first post.
-
You can bet that any Iraqi use of WMDs will be blamed on the coalition by Iraq regime and the vast majority of arabs throughout the region. You can also bet that there will be those in free contries that believe Iraqi regime as well.
The only way to sort this whole mess out is to engage in total war.

Makes a good reason for the Iraqis to have chem/bio suits issued to their troops...combats the logic of they (the Iraqis) need em because they have battlefield WMD.

I think the proverbial dung will hit the fan in the next couple of days. I hope for the best. :(
-
Charles Rangel will be the first American to believe that we used gas. He will shout it from the roof tops too!
-
Russia, Germany, France and China will side with the Arabs.
It all seems so clear to me.

It isn't too surprising, the Russians have been supplying the Iraqis Anti Tank Missiles, the Germans have been helping them to build better bunkers, the French, hell they have been giving them nuclear technology and loans, and the CHinese have been supplying them Silkworms. Any wonder why they support Sadaam? The almighty dollar, just like the US is being accused of doing...
It's all a crock, a big crock that will end up getting out of hand.
