Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

It was suggested to me that Hussein won't have a chance pretty soon to use chemical weapons because we'll be in Baghdad and he would hurt a lot of civilians. "Do you think he cares?" I asked. One of the worst-case scenarios that has been playing out in the back of my mind is that he's waiting until we're in the city to go out in a blaze, as it were, deploying chemicals en masse to gas our troops, his troops, and anyone else in the city. I wouldn't bet even odds on this, but it wouldn't be inconsistent with what we know about him, particularly if we think he would think it would awe future generations.

I'm not sure we actually know he's in Baghdad, either, if he's still alive; he could get out of town and pull this off remotely, with no actual harm to himself.

Anyway, have a good weekend.
