On Friday Saddam Hussein will not agree to the UN resolution.
This is because he knows that, by doing so, he will further divide the UN and Arab League which all have members opposed to military action.
With no clear consensus the UN will again revert back to indecision and debate, and Saddam will have more time.
If he were to agree he loses popularity with his people, and appears less hard line as the Parliament earlier today voted to reject the resolution.
Whilst his eldest son has voiced support for the UN plan, this just reaffirms Saddam's position as the hard liner he has portrayed himself as. Saddam's son has also called on many nations to cut oil supplies to the rest of the world though this will not happen because doing so would make it easier to gain public support for war. Nothing like being hit in the wallet to get people's attention.....
All this will leave the USA and UK with a difficult decision - take action and risk condemnation, or wait and find out just why Baghdad want's Turkey to supply it with 1 million (approx) doses of the antidote drug Antropine...now why does somebody need an antidote to something they don't have ?
Of course he could accept the UN resolution, with conditions of course... time will tell.

Great story, lacking in real proof though isn't it ? A smattering of mainly unnotable people from both sides of the Atlantic making educated guesses....anyway the articale still misses the point.
America, and her allies, have these weapons as a deterrant, whereas Saddam does not - 100 000 people can attest to that. His are developed, and deployable, as first strike/offensive weapons. There is a difference, to all who want to see that difference.
In addition, buying vaccine, or attempting to, would not be to counter an allied use of such weapons as we don't need to use them. If Saddam did hit the allies or another country with chem/bio weapons then we could easily finish him with conventional weapons.

Yeah, the pretzel thing's a bit old y'know......kinda funny for a day or so, then boring, but hey if it makes you happy :)

I'm guessing biological warfare? Protect its own people then cover the entire world with the disease. Many animals are immune anyway, so it would only affect humans. Hey - it's an easy way to get rid of the west.
