CNN TV has reported this morning that Allied forces "may have found chemical weapons at Ansar al Islam camp in Northern Iraq".

The Agonist weblog comments on hearing the same:

Allied forces may have found chemical weapons at a camp of the radical Islamist group, Ansar al Islam, in northern Iraq, reported CNN on April 1.

National Review Online has a similar tease:

ANSLAR AL ISLAM & WMD [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
CNN On Air is reporting suspected chemcial/bioweapon evidence found at the camp seized over the weekend.

Didn't I read somewhere yesterday that Hans Blix had resigned, or was resigninng? Where's the news on this? Someone please clue me in.

[FBD]

Nothing happened in Iraq, without the express approval, of Saddam Hussien.

Connect dots.

[browardchad]

This legalistic behavior is what got us into this mess to begin with!

Exactly.

[browardchad]

Didn't I read somewhere yesterday that Hans Blix had resigned, or was resigninng? Where's the news on this? Someone please clue me in.

His contract with the UN expires in June, and he's going back to being a private incompetent.

[grumple]

Thanks! I thought I heard something like that.

see Saddam ...placing Anthrax into envelopes

Nope, the leftists would claim Saddam was just a coke dealer.

They're running Saddam for mayor of D.C.??!?

[nina0113]

China did not fall to the Communists until 1949.

[VRWC_minion]

Why?

We were not Iraq's enemy until we attacked them ?

[FBD]

Militant Islam declared war on the U.S. a long time ago. some would say back in Tehran, back in the late '70s.

Take a look at all the bombings around the world, hijakings, suicide missions, Lebanon Marine barracks, Kobar towers, embassies in Africa, USS Cole, Pan Am flight over Lockerbee Scottland, WTC in '94, and a hundred other terrorist attacks on Western civilization.

CONNECT THE DOTS.

Sheikh Abd Al-Rahman Al-Sudayyis, Imam of the Al-Haraam mosque in Mecca, told worshipers:
"The most noble civilization ever known to mankind is our Islamic civilization. Today, Western civilization is nothing more than the product of its encounter with our Islamic civilization in Andalusia [medieval Spain] and other places. The reason for [Western civilization's] bankruptcy is its reliance on the materialistic approach, and its detachment from religion and values. [This approach] has been one reason for the misery of the human race, for the proliferation of suicide, mental problems… and for moral perversion…"

"Western civilization's credibility as the one capable of leading the world to happiness and man to stability - is shaken… Only one nation is capable of resuscitating global civilization, and that is the nation [of Islam]… "

"No decent man in the world will deny that there has never been a culture more merciful towards [all] creatures, with more supreme values, and which rules with greater justice than [Islam]… While the false cultures sink in the swamp of materialism and suffer moral crises… our Islamic nation is the one worthy of grasping the reins of leadership and riding on the back of the horse of pioneering and world sovereignty."

WAKE UP! MILITANT ISLAM IS AT WAR WITH WESTERN CIVILIZATION, AND THEY DECLARED IT.

One side knows it is at war, because it has declared it. It's about time the other side realise it also, if it wants to survive.

[WarSlut]

Booo hoo ha ha ....let me get this straight. A man like Saddam that spends Billions of dollars on his own security, gases goat herders, has no,awaremness, control or concern if there is a terrorist camp in his country..... ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?

I swear to G-d, these people are nucking futz. The guy has armies of secret police and terrorists to hunt down anyone who opposes him and their families, yet he has no control or knowledge whatsoever of the huge terrorist training camps (for Islamists that allegedly HATE him) throughout his country.

Uh-huh. That's exactly how Saddam's Iraq works...

[Walkingfeather]

Yea you think he would have a second thought of gasing that camp if he thought it a threat? I can't believe it either.

[The Other Harry]

These Islamic fascists have no love for each other...

This is exactly where I'm coming from.

By opening this particular can of worms, we have have given them a reason to align themselves with each other.

We will win this fight. No doubt about that. Our soldiers are *very* good. We also have the best techno. By far.

But they are tough sonsabitches who do not want us in there.

They will fight us forever. I think it probably would have been better to have let them fight amongst themselves.

"Nothing happened in Iraq, without the express approval, of Saddam Hussien. Connect dots. "

That's Kurdish territory. We've prevented him from entering it for 12 years. It's not likely that the Kurds army and independent economy was built with Saddam's approval. "Connect dots" back at you.

This discovery helps justify the war, but it may or may not be the smoking gun to prove Saddam's possession of WMDs.

[elfman2]

" They will fight us forever. "

No, not in Iraq.

Once the police that protects the fascists from the suppressed population looses critical mass, they will flee, hide, be destroyed or at least be suppressed. Iraq will bloom like the dessert after a spring rain. And that will be our best weapon against neighboring nations whos population truly does hate us more than their fascist government.

[elfman2]

Please excuse that crappy spelling in my last. I know better, but I'm careless.

[albee]

"Iraqi Chemical Suits - check!
Iraqi Nerve anecdote - check!
Iraqi gas masks - check!
Rincin at terrorist camp - check!

None of this means they have chemical weapons of course."

With logic like that, you are a shoe-in for a job with Hans Blix!

[Mark17]

They (leftists) need to see Saddam pouring VX into missile warheads and placing Anthrax into envelopes to be convinced.

Nothing will convince them.

[Mark17]

Militant Islam declared war on the U.S. a long time ago.

Yes Islam did exactly that. It's too bad it took us so long to respond.

[Walkingfeather]

Oh I see .... there was a rule that said he couldn't go into that territory..... I see.... well my argument is shot to hell....since we all know Saddam the great is above all else a rule following teachers pet.... Yep how could I miss it....
