Where as I don’t disagree at all that he put nuclear retaliation on the table... the site in which you got this from is quite bias.
Further can you not see that Saddam knew that either way he would loose his country, so he had nothing to lose from using WMD, he only had things to gain. As some one who was characterizes as some one who gassed his own country (I don’t dispute this) and was not hesitant to use them, why now when he is at the end would he have a change in heart and not use them against us, the only explanation is that he did not have any to use against us, either they were packaged and stored where they could not be used (I, Blix as well as others doubt this) or he does not even have any WMD.
