U;S~officials will let Saddam gas them again. . For six months, Kurdish leaders have been asking the United States ~o help them preparê for the. possibility that Saddam may attack them with weapons of massdestruction.

" U.S. ~oops have been issued preventive .suits against his chemical weapons. The Bush administration has sent Patriot antimissile batteries to Israel and Jordan to protect against chemical warheads. Only the Kurds - in far more d~er than Israel - have. gotten nothing. The Kurds can't turn for medical supplies to the United Nations, which works through Baghdad. They can't turn to international humanitarian agencies, ~s regional Health Minister Muhammad Khoshnaw found out last. week: ''I told them the war is coming nearer day by day and we have nothing. They say no one will give them funds [for this crisis] before the war starts." If the Kurds fear they won't be protected. against poison gas they irulY once again flee to the mounUUnsisayS. Gen.
