I have just read this report on the mirror's website, and if true highlights the hypocrisy of the whole Iraq misadventure. We were told that the coalition was going to war to get rid of weapons of mass destruction, not to use them! Are there any other media sources which confirm the use of these obscene weapons?

The US's attack on Iraq has an implicit threat not hotly debated. " Watch out allies" for in the next decade or two you may be the next Iraq. I would have to guess that this applies mostly to the emerging independent countries such as Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan etc.
