97 miles south of Baghdad. May have found a chemical weapons dispenser. Iraqi fighter came forward to tell Marines chemical wepons hidden in the area.

[oyez]

Another WMD story that will be squashed or FUBAR by tomorrow.

[SevenDaysInMay]

I've heard that it is Camp La June, July, and August, year 'round.

[Darksheare]

Another country like Syria and Jordan?

[oyez]

I feel as if the media is running this war.

[ffusco]

Camp Legume?
Camp Jejune?

[cake_crumb]

"Just a wild guess but it makes strange sense."

Yeah, it does make sense. Chilling.

Plan B: Of course they had them. But they were never a threat to the US were they ?

Probably true. The spin will be that thay never intended to use them, as borne out by the fact that they didn't use them against the coalition forces. But IMO this spin will fail after the truth has been disclosed about Saddam's atrocities against the Iraqi people, their display of gratitude at being liberated, the scope of Saddam's WMD programs, and the complicity of the French, et. al. The left is going to be hammered on this one.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Maybe we can get an informer to tell us where Mr. Blix left his brain.

Whorealdo's on that one -- looking for Saddam's vault.

And we know the rest of the story:

Hans Blix is curious.
And Tom Dashle is saddened.

"Could saddam have unloaded it all to another country well before this war started?"

I doubt he unloaded all of it....but am willing to bet he shipped a bunch of it to Syria and maybe Libya and Iran.

Heck, the French might be hiding them...I can almost hear Villepoint or whatever his name is now, saying 'France was so saddened about the thought of so many young Americans and British soldiers losing their lives in a chemical attack, we took Saddam's chemical weapons for safekeeping. To protect lives!'

[Shaka]

"We may have..." "There could be..." "There are trace amounts.." Good Lord, we need to find those damn scientist and they'll tell us what and where we need to be.

Until then..it's a U.N. crap shoot. Of course we've found more "traces" in two weeks than they have found in 12 years.

[Shaka]

I do believe he dumped a schitt load of mustard and cyanide into the Euphrates...they know. Jig is up..and if they're caught with them..the Mooslim world would be against them.

[cake_crumb]

"Or would there be enough traces left behind?"

Chem, bio and nukes would leave traces behind.

[OldFriend]

I doubt very much that anyone who was or is working with our CIA had their identity given away. This is so much propaganda to discourage anyone from helping us.

Most of the worldwide media hates us and wants to see us defeated.

[risk]

IMHO, finding WMD is probably a foregone conclusion since we are already in the tunnel system underneath Baghdad Airport leading to the Palaces.

If I had been Saddam in late February, I would have made a bunch of tapes, given my top brass a huge raise, and headed to Damascus.

I already would have shipped my most useful WMDs to Syria. Of course Syrians helping me would have received huge amounts of cash in a solid currency.

[tillacum]

"Blix is curious" How is he curious, curious by his absence, curious acting, I know he doesn't have a curious mind.

[EGPWS]

the old Clinton Innoculation approach.

I was hoping I could forget that approach. Apparently it is still in use.

[Tom Pain]

May I place an order for some surplus AK-47s?

[irish_lad]

Our troops may have already taken control of Salman Pak. I believe it was in the southern part of Baghdad just south of the airport.
