Unconventional Weapons are Secret of Saddam's Survival
(Telegraph - UK) - In Saddam's view, possession of weapons of mass destruction had saved the regime on two occasions. The first time was in the 1980s when Iraq was able to stop Iranian "human wave" assaults by firing shells filled with chemical agents. The second time was during the 1991 Gulf War when Saddam distributed chemical and biological shells to units with orders to use them should the Allies try to enter Baghdad.
