Bush was asked if we would retaliate with nukes if chemical weapons were used in theatre. He didn't address that directly, but said that Iraqis who use chem weapons will be tried as war criminals (i.e., won't be radioactive cinders), and that we WILL keep our word. If you doubt our word, look back at events of last month.

Of course not...'can't tip your hand...but note that he didn't rule them OR the anticipated MOAB out, either...
