I have great faith that both the President and the Prime Minister would regard use of chemical weapons like this as serious enough to warrant using nukes.

Negative...politically they have painted themselves in a corner regarding using nukes in retaliation to chemical to a WMD attack....

Both Blair and Bush have taken great pains to tell the world that this is a war of liberation for the Iraqi people...That Saddam and a small group of dedicated military is what has a stranglehold on that country.

If we go nuclear with Saddam placing his troops in the most heavily populated areas, the loss of civilian life would be, well you get the idea...

Hard to liberate a people after you've killed the bulk of them.....
