Hmmmm.  I can't speak for Lemming, but my point was that it is just 
possible that Iraq had chem suits to defend *against* attacks from an 
enemy using chem weapons.  I mentioned that the US had such weapons, not 
because I think we would use them in Iraq, but because Iraq might not 
share my PollyAnna opinion.

Oh, I agree.  That's why I'm not convinced that invasion was the best 
solution.
