In a desperate act, Saddam launches a nuclear/bio/chem attack on Israel.
Israel retaliates, with a nuke in downtown Baghdad.
India/Pakistan uses the confusion to nuke eachother.
How probable is this? I'd say it's within reason.

i would guess that there is absolutely no scenario that would warrant a nuclear assault on a major city by anyone. He only has about 2 dozen missiles as it is. The technology to stop them in-flight is significantly greater today than it was 11 years ago when the US military first tested the Patriot missiles.
another issue is that it is within reason that most of those 2 dozen missiles are not in working condition. there is a shelf life.
