Scale. Look up the definition of "Weapon of Mass Destruction"

Considering we're talking about battlefield weapons I don't think the term
"Mass" Destruction necessarily applies, and has in fact been largely
mis-used throughout the past year with reference to Iraq capability (or lack
thereof.)

A mortar shell containing blister agents for example is certainly not a WMD
in the truest sense, but would certainly fall within our leaders'
definitions.
