So what if he launches biological or chemical warfare at them? Everybody knows that Israel has stated to use deadly force (nukes or military i guess) to whoever seriously messes with them. So, Saddam will get messed up either way, lol.
And if Saddam does use biological weapons against American and British troops, then it will definately be game over for Iraq. Because that would be proof that he does have them, so UN will finally authorize the war (even though it allready started), and countries such as Canada, France, Russia and Germany will hop aboard and fight. Not like the British and American troops will need help, but at least politically countries won't be biting eachothers heads off.

Do I think he will? I'm hoping not, but it wouldn't surprise me. A quote from a journalist (New Yorker):
Quote:
Still, I had trouble fathoming why an Administration that had shown
no particular concern for world opinion in the previous months would
go to such lengths to accommodate so many journalists. One military
officer at the Hilton privately suggested an answer: "We want you
here to document the gas and the other stuff Saddam has in his
arsenal. If he has it, or, God forbid, uses it, the world's not going
to believe the U.S. Army. But they'll believe you." This, the more I
thought about it, was not a very encouraging reason to be here. As
the day of the embed drew closer, I began to feel like a lab rat,
heading off for great chemical experiments.

France, Russia, and Germany still won't fight. Plans are made, they are not in them. It's too late. Don't be surprised if they try to help in humanitarian aid after the fighting, so they can then try to get new contracts with Iraq and try to get as much as they can from post-Saddam Iraq. France is already showing signs.
Politically it would be a good thing if Saddam slimed us, but I really don't give a rats ass about politics, I'd rather have France hate us than see anyone die from these weapons.
