Editorial: U.S. Finds Iraqi Chemical Weapons Plant and Banned Cruise Missiles

These recent discoveries are breaking news on the Internet today. However, these reports are not even on the radar screen for the American mainstream media. Not yet. It will be at least a couple of days before you might hear about these reports on your local television channel. Or it may take a bit longer.

The major America networks are too busy broadcasting stories with geniune "human interest" impact. Their primary focus is zeroed in on accidental attacks on British warplanes and the first reports of deaths of troops fighting on the front lines. People across the nation are slowly waking up to realize that television journalists are not investigative reporters. Not by a long shot.

The discovery of the chemical weapons facility apparently shocked the U.S. troops who found the huge underground plant. It must have been shock to walk inside the huge underground facility stocked with hundreds of tons of weapons. And then finding Russian cruise missiles.

You may read the detailed report The Jersalem Post and a very short report on World Net Daily. The full report in the Jersalem Post is worth the few moments it takes to sign up. But it is not for the weak of heart. The gritty details are a bit scary.

Because this is just the our first discovery of Weapons of Mass Destruction and banned cruise missiles. We will be greeted by other discoveries in the following weeks. And many may not be very pleasant experiences.

But sources tell me that President George W. Bush must have received an encrypted telephone call at Camp David yesterday. He apparently cut short his planned weekend retreat at Camp David. I recall that on Friday evening my local television reporters were gushing about the President's "long weekend holiday." Little did they know . . . .

The caller must have had to inform the President's advisors about the Russian-made Al-Harith anti-shipping cruise missiles that had just been discovered. I can even imagine the unvoiced response.

Our military discovery yesterday must have had very serious diplomatic ramifications for the "Axis of Weasels." No doubt telephone lines are buzzing right now with diplomatic accusations and carefully worded denials.

Disingenuous evasions like, "Don't I know nothing about it ! . . . " will be made with genuine sincerity by the allied governments of Russia, France, Germany, and China.

Yeah, right .... Hans Blix, where are you ? Mr. Blix ? !

I quietly reiterate my warning posted about Saddam's carefully planned "Doomsday Scenario" and his very evil secret intentions for America.

New reports are surfacing again today that Saddam was killed by our missile attack last week. But I believe that Saddam's Ba-Ath Party inner circle has the will to go forward with his evil plans even though he may be dead.

Fighting the Ba-Ath Party may be as dangerous today as taking on the Nazis was in 1942. Maybe more dangerous.

Well this definitely means that Hans "I see nothing" Blix is full of sh*t! President Bush is vindicated, but of course the hating-America leftist will never admit they were wrong.

"The failure of US policy makers to comprehend the veiled aggressiveness and hostility towards the United States inherent in Sino-Russian strategy and the belief that the political and economic reforms in Russia and the partial introduction of capitalism in China have foreshadowed these countries' development into real democracies, have eroded the effectiveness of US policies in the foreign affairs, defence, intelligence and counter-intelligence fields. US policymakers have recklessly accepted the premise that Russia and China are no longer their enemies, but are rather potential allies and partners fully deserving of US support. Only countries like Iran, Iraq and North Korea - which (ironically, in this context) work secretly with Russia and China - are still considered potential adversaries.

US policymakers should urgently re-examine their assumptions about the 'progress' of Russia and China 'towards democracy'. They should take account of Sino-Russian strategy and should recognise that the long-term strategic, political and economic threat comes from a Sino-Russian axis and associated participants like North Korea, Iran, Iraq and Syria. The Russian and Chinese leaders are still committed to their objective of world domination and believe that, disguised as 'democrats', in accordance with Leninist teaching, they will be able to achieve it..."

I was wondering if anyone knows how far the cruise missiles can fly?

The story has been on the Jerusalem Post all day, and was on Breaking News here.

I heard about the chem plant, but I hadn't heard about the missles.

I was out at a Support the Troops Rally - it was great fun!

What is the scoop about the missles from Russia ...??

I thought the funniest thing I've heard so far was the ABC Radio reporter who just said that the troops may have found the chemical weapons facilities the Bush administration was "desperately seeking". There are some desperate people in this fight, mainly the Iraqi high command and their allies in the American Left.
