I think this is a very important find. If you look at the soldiers who have been surrendering you can see that they have not been outfitted with much. So for Saddam to expend the money on these masks means that he has every intent to hit us with NBC.

I agree with you. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain. (Prestige...standing up to Imperialist US, etc.)
