They will not be used. I cannot imagine the storm of political opposition everywhere if they were

You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo -
Probably, we would milk the political backlash against a chem/bio attack by Hussein rather than use tactical nukes.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Got to go with Ralph, Flubber and DanS:
Nukes always trump chemicals; the political backlash from such an action is too terrible to imagine. After all, everyone sort of expects Saddam to be evil, we have set for ourselves a far higher standard.If you don't like reality, change it! me

In this war tac nukes won't be used. Sir Ralph is right the political cost is too high.
And I don't think Saddam will use bio/chem for the same reasons: it will prove he has such kind of weapons and he will lose support from many countries...

The entire world has an interest in Nukes not being used. To use them would set a precedent that no one wants."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003Comment

given the current 20-2 (killed by friendly fire - killed by enemies) count (for the british, dont have the americans numbers), it would be better to avoid the use of nukes.
ok, so the americans wont hit the brits. most likely they'll hit themselves
