NEW YORK, Oct 6, 2002 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Intelligence intercepts in the gulf region tell of a meeting Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had with local military commanders in August, in which he discussed the possibility of an impending war, Newsweek reports. "This campaign will be one of life or death for this regime, and we must use everything we have," he allegedly told them. According to the same source, Saddam told local commanders that if communications were cut with Baghdad, they had authority to fire chemical weapons the moment a ground attack began, reports Correspondent-at-Large Rod Nordland in the October 14 issue of Newsweek (on newsstands Monday, October 7). "Everyone knows that when it starts, [Saddam] is finished," says a Kuwaiti. "No one expects restraint." xponent Reasons For Pessimism Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
