Gamble In The Desert: What If Saddam Came South In August 1990?

If it is truly deemed necessary for the US to use nuclear weapons in order to maintain credibility, how effective would a nuclear EMP strike be on Iraqi equipment? An EMP strike avoids a lot of the images of horror that'd be involved with a more standard nuclear release, and could fully disrupt Iraqi leadership and communications at minimum.
 
I remember reading this months ago. Glad to see it's alive. :D

I did notice one error though: The US still posessed chemical weapons at this time ITTL. Including 100,000 GB and VX munitions.
 
Good morning, everybody. It's been a while since I've been on the site or updated this thread, I know. However, I wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to pick up where I left off and inject some life into this thread in the coming weeks. This weekend I'll post a new entry and from there will try and deliver consistent updates through the summer.

Mike
