I guess your eyes were lying to you. He launched SCUD missiles at Kuwait. SCUD missiles that, yes, exceeded the UN Resolution.

There is a reason nothing serious was used. Saddam wants all power. Do you honestly think that a schmuck soldier on the ground has any say about what kind of weapons gets shot at troops? We bombed the ever-loving shit out of Iraq in only a few days. Saddam would have no way to talk to his troops. Even if he did, any troops that would use gas, bombs, etc. were already dead from the massive air raids.
