I don't think the US/UK would plan on using chemical weapons, as that would be an unmitigated disaster for their cause. Even if the Iraqis were to resort to using chemical or biological weapons (I suspect that Bush/Blair must be secretly hoping that they would - this would vindicate them), the troops would respond using only conventional munitions. No need to resort to nukes, chemicals or germs, as it would be proof that Saddam had been lying all along, using weapons he claims he doesn't have.
