There is a big difference between "the regime" wanting to use those weapons, and battlefield commanders actually using them. The reality is that once they use those weapons against us, we will get very, very nasty. And since such weapons probably will have a fairly limited tactical effect, it's quite a risk for them to use them.

I think we announce them if we get them, if only to shut up much of the rest of the world. Hey, the bottom line is that as we get closer to Baghdad, sooner or later the regime is going to figure out it has nothing left to lose. So we're gonna reach the point you worry about anyway. The key is whether the army will agree to use them, and I think world opinion may matter on that.

Did I just read correctly on a FOX scroll...Blix claims bio-suits etc...were placed there to throw us off or some such nonsense?

It not only won't shut up any of the rest of the world...it won't even change their minds one iota.
