The Nancies over at DUh.com are peeing their pants over this one.
For the life of me, I can't see why.
It has been the doctrine of the United States to respond to any attack using WMD with tactical nuclear weapons. Biowar and Chem weapons are in our inventory, but we do not use them. This has been our doctrine since the dawn of the Cold War.
So let's not get concerned about William Rivers Pitt and the goobers over at DU. Besides, they're too busy snapping up copies of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion to care. Gotta get mentally ready for all those Anti-War/Anti-Zionist rallies, dontchaknow.....
But in all seriousness, this is a big, spanking message to the Iraqi General Staff and the field grade Iraqi officers. "Don't Follow Orders, Or Else...".
This leak was necessary, and all to the good.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
