The limitation on the distance Iraq's missiles can go is less than the distance to Israel. That is what that distance limitation is about. But of course, we now know that Saddam lies JUST A BIT. I would think he would use a mass of suicide bombers WITH CHEMICALS or the hand held missiles which have a range of about 24 miles I think.

During Desert Storm, several Iraqi Scuds reached Israel. I measure the minimum range from the Iraq border to Israel at 225 miles.

I feel that Saddam's ability to put VX Gas into one of those missles might make Israel take drastic action.
