From Times Staff and Wire Reports

President Bush will not resort to exotic weapons like the neutron bomb to hasten the end of the Gulf War, White House Chief of Staff John H. Sununu said. “There’s been no one even from the military that has suggested that approach,” Bush’s top aide said in an ABC-TV interview. He said Iraqi President Saddam Hussein will probably try to use every weapon available to him but Bush will not. Sununu had been asked if the United States had considered using neutron bombs, which kill troops with intense radiation but leave buildings and military hardware untouched.
