Injector kits would be used as a way to protect troops from nerve agents. I'm sure glad that Iraq doesn't have any of those. It said so right in their report. If you can't trust Saddam, who can you trust?

Injector kits are only good for a 5 -6 minute burst of energy to get you out of the area where the agent is present. Gas masks prevent breathing the agent, but without the Chem-bio suits, they are useless because the agents can soak through the skin and enter the body. I have been wondering for some time if Saddam was planning a first strike. It is to his advantage right now to do so, while we are in the mobilization phase, but it would be suicide to do it. Issue of Chem -Bio equipment is something to be taken seriously, and placement of heavy missiles is noteworthy. Another thing to notice is evacuation of certain areas to set up his combat zones. All of this combined could signal the beginning phases of an offensive war plan in implementation However, we would be able to pretty much have real time intel on this, so his plan would be crap anyway. All it would do is get him a world class smackdown.
