You've got to wonder why a General would command 30 troops, unless he's one of those administrative generals in charge of an R&D program.

Only someone at the general staff level would be entrusted with the security and operation of a Top Secret project like this.
To: BamaFan69
It was under military control and, recall, Blixie was operating under the terms negotiated under Kofi Annon in 1998 & refused to take advantage of the broader accomodations specified in 1441 and thus never went to the military facilities that they moved stuff to from the palaces which the Iraqis then let Blixie search and declare them OK for.

Baby milk factories need at least one general, too, according to some. So there is nothing suspicious about a general in charge of a metal shop. ; )

I'm a little worried about this one. First I absolutely believe Iraq has WMDs. But why was the plant and staff just left there? They've known for several days we would be advancing in that general direction. Is there really no central authority left in Iraq, or are we about to get egg our face? Hopefully my imagination is just working too much.

Memo to CNN..
Please bring Blix and Scott Ritter on to explain how this isn't true...
Blix should then immediately return to Sweden and STFU..
Ritter is being paged at the Burger King by some little girl...he should hurry over there and expose himself.
We've always KNOWN he was a lying prick.

That cement plant could come in handy when we send in the Soprano division.

Hey, didn't Hans Blix first play Sgt Schulz (on Hogans Heroes), before becoming a weapons inspector, "I SEE NOTHING!"
To: AntiGuv
Someone needs to tell the DU'ers that this story is about the Euphrates and not about De Nial!!!!!!
They are all praying this isn't true -- at least they would be, if their religion wasn't atheism!!!!

Haven't you heard? The inspectors have been there recently to inspect a cement factory and totally missed a 100 acre chemical plant... But the inspection program was working...

You don't think a general would be in charge of a cosmetics factory or a synthetic milk plant?

Remember that Saddam's regime is a stalinist empire. Everybody is trained to follow orders and the long history of torture & evil ensures nobody will be willing to take any initiative. These guys would never just close up shop and head to Baghdad without specific orders to do so. They may have been left frozen, not knowing what to do and scared to do anything but the status quo, whatever that was at the time (probably to stay in a secure mode attempting to protect & defend the facility).
To: Red Dog #1
I agree. If it was a major Iraqi asset, wouldn't there be some Republican Gaurd troops surrounding it? Who knows - maybe things have fallen apart more than todays 'news' indicated.
