Rumsfeld laments inability to use chemical weapons? (and tallys of anti-war rallys around the world)
From article below:
Gilles Duceppe leader of the Bloc Quebcois, member of the Canadian
Parliament was among the protestors, he said: “The United States
defence minister told us last week how it was unfortunate they can’t
use chemical weapons, and that the use of atomic weapons was a
possibility, My God, it makes no sense for people who are supposedly
responsible to use such language.”
[And yet, we condemn Hussein for desiring to own weapons of mass destruction, and for his past use of them? -Thomas]
