Why do I get the feeling that he's going to use nerve gas on our troops and we are going to see the first use of nuclear weapons in war for the 21st Century when the US retaliates against military targets.

He won't have the chance. The U.S. will go for a coup de main: thousands of JDAMs hitting his command and control and weapons sites simultaneously while special ops kill Iraqi leaders, air mobile troops secure air fields and armor secures the oil fields. Thereafter, we will mop up with Saddam unable to communicate with his commanders, assuming he survives the first massive air strikes.

This will not be your father's war. If will not be the Gulf War. It will be the first 21st Century war.
