BAGHDAD, Iraq The U-S military says its forces raided a suspected insurgent chemical production facility in northern Iraq earlier in the week.

The statement also does not say what was being produced and whether the materials were intended for weapons. The statement says the military is investigating which insurgent group was involved.

American troops invaded Iraq in March 2003 to destroy what President Bush said were Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. None were ever found.

I love it. The AP states it is unknown what the terrorist were doing with the chemicals. Perfume, maybe fertilizer or just maybe weapons. Jerkoffs.

Thats just not true. Nuclear weapons were the only thing NOT found. The MSM seems to have forgotten about the Bio and the Chem in the NucBioChem triad of WMD.

Two socialist libs at work said there were no weapons. I took them the Kay and Duelfer reports and a list of all banned weapons captured, including nerve gas artillery shells that were used against our troops. They refuse to look at it.

One must keep one's mind limber to engage in the mental gymnastics done to believe the leftist ideology.

Maybe it was a "Baby Milk Plant" that escaped bombing in the first Gulf war or perhaps they were making hydrogen for weather balloons like the MSM reported those strange chemical plant tractor trailers were.

How about those bomb plants in neighboring Iran that are cranking out antitank bombs.

It, more than likely, was DDT. Some of those desert fleas are as big as camels.
