Geez, hopefully this isn't another rumor.

I'm a Christian, but after living at a college and watching anti-war rallies/protests/etc. for months--the desire to give up the Golden Rule and rub these in every liberal dummy's nose is too overwhelming. :o)

That's right! Iraq doesn't have any chemical weapons!

After all, Janene Garafolo said they didn't!

For the sake of evidence, let's hope this factory makes more than just Aspirins.

Is it a chemical factory or chemical WEAPON factory?

A General would not be in charge of a simple industrial chemicals factory. It's a chemical WEAPONS factory.

Agreed but the Jeruselum Post said Chemical factory, World Net Daily said chemical weapon. It won't be believed until someone confirms and photographs the weapons... and even then, Hollywood will shrug it off.

We don't need to hope, it probably is a mixture of French, German and Russian equipment. Oh yeah, and no doubt some Chinese. Usual suspects.

The first of many, no doubt. Now it's time to put those embedded reporters to good use.

Agreed. The idea of "embedded" reporters was brilliant! I have already heard of cases where they have contradicted the lefty reporters at the liberal stations (ABCNBCCBS, etc.). Nothing like being there (and getting shot at) to "get your mind right". LOL.

'CHEMICAL PLANT FOUND'

A huge chemical weapons factory has been found in Iraq, according to the Pentagon.

The facility was found in Najaf, around 270 miles south of Baghdad, US military officials say.


The General in charge of the factory has been arrested and is being questioned, the Pentagon said.

Sky News Foreign Affairs expert Tim Marshal said if the claims are substantiated they will in part vindicate President Bush and Prime Minister Blair.

They have argued the case for war against Iraq on the grounds that Saddam Hussein had banned weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological weapons.

The Iraqi regime has always denied this and UN weapons inspectors sent back into the country at the end of last year failed to find any evidence to suggest otherwise.

It was a great idea. The journalists will certainly have respect for the men and women over there.

Your Liberal friend who said she'd support Bush if the military found WMD stuff in Iraq probably misrepresented what she really meant - she's not gonna' support Bush! Does not happen. Liberals are incapable of supporting him.
