ABC Radio: chemical factory, correcting that there is no proof it was wmd. Premature.... laughing a bit "interesting guy" comments about gues that believed this was smoking gun...bringss up Reagan as admin that gave toxins to Saddam in the 80's,.... we'd rather be wrong than qqquick on this story.....Do find it odd that there was a general there....Bush would LOVE this and we'll probably hear A LOT more about it from the administration.... "suspected chemical plant" extreme caution on this story. How did UN and US intelligence miss this?...

I'm guessing US intel didn't miss it. Why bolster Blix's credibility during the buildup?

ABC

I hate ABC. If I wanted to be bulemic or anorexic, all I'd have to do was watch ABC or Petah Jennings to get the desired effect.

Reagan gave vaccines to Iraq NOT biotoxins as the left would have you believe.

ABC Radio: Interviewing POW's mother, filipino. She starts crying, Peter Jennings I think, saying how bad we feel and "sorry to have disturbed you" he starts to show emotion in his voice. Not to be too cynical, but it sounded a bit staged, his emotions...

Yeah, MSNBC emphasising that this is a political matter.

Danger, Danger -- don't invest too much in the belief that this factory is making proscribed materials. There are many factories with strategic significance (propellents, etc.). Wait for the analysis.

Re your post - Future DNC Talking Points: "But the US gave Iraq chemicals" blah blah blah. Remember this - we gave Iraq chemicals THAT WERE LEGAL for research purposes only.

OK let's see if I have this straight.

FOX is reporting the story directly from the Pentagon

CNN is saying "maybe it's a Fertilizer factory"

UN is saying "Duuuhhhhhhhhhhh. ummm we saw a cement factory once"

PMSNBC is saying "it could be anything

And ABC is saying "If it is a Chemical Factory It's Reagan's fault!!!"

NOW I WONDER WHICH ONE IS REPORTING FACTUALLY!!!!
