also remember this Sadaam certainly isnt above lying to his own people. in order to try and keep them loyal and not defect/surrender he very well could have told them that the US would use chem/bio weapons and supplied them with the suits to show that he "cares" about them (meaning his own people)
i liken it to an old episode of star trek, when the federation caught some Klingons. the klingons were afraid of the federation "torture", etc. even though it didnt exist, it was what they were told by their government to keep them loyal
a similar situation could exist in Iraq. Sadaam knows he is in trouble, and in order to hold onto power and keep the Iraqi people loyal, he lies to them about what the US/UK have, are going to do to them.
not saying it is a fact, but a mere possiblility.
peace
