NOW THIS IS INTERESTING:

WASHINGTON — A top Bush administration weapons investigator told Congress in closed testimony last week that he has uncovered solid information from interviews, documents, and physical evidence that Iraqi military forces were ordered to attack US troops with chemical weapons, but did not have the time or capability to follow through, according to senior defense and intelligence officials.

The alleged findings by David Kay, a former UN weapons inspector now working for the United States, would buttress the administration’s claim that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was concealing weapons of mass destruction — a key component of President Bush’s case for war that has since fallen into dispute.

Of course, this could have been a bluff by Saddam — expecting his orders to be intercepted — and it’s also consistent with the Saddam-thought-he-had-WMD-but-his-underlings-were-lying theory.
