What chemical weapons options are available to the U.S. should Iraq use them
in the Persian Gulf?

One assumes the usual spray tanks on tactical aircraft, but are any surface-
to-surface missiles available with chemical warheads? 

I would imagine that having to wear chem warfare protective gear in 130-degree
heat would render a unit basically useless.
