This has to be American Propaganda. Hans Blix assured us that Iraq did not have Chemincal Weapons. As we all know, the UN did a thorough job of disarming Iraq in the last 12 years.

Sweet!

Maybe we can find the animals that executed our soldiers and dip their head in the containers like a "toxic swirlee" so we can confirm what kind of chemical it is.

Not breaking. This appeared on a post here around 1pm. I logged in to Jerusalem Post and E-mailed the article to everyone at Fox News. Took until now for them to confirm this with the Pentagon.

This is Hugh! I'm series!

Seriously, when I heard this I was curious and turned though some of the "other" news stations (I am one of the "priviledged FOX viewers.) MSNBC had a ticker title stating what had been discovered. CNN had nothing, as if they didn't even know about it (or were ignoring it.)

I also noticed CNN's background was a faded Iraqi Flag with a color set that followed the theme. A major contrast to FOX's Red, White and Blue.

CNN's incompetence was a major contrast to FOX's excellence in coverage as well.

Anyway, prayers for the safety of our people...

Unless I'm missing something, this story seems to say this is a chem factory with no chem weapons .... this does not sound like airtight proof needed to shove in the UN's face.

You've GOT to be kidding me! CLEARLY, the United States and its ZIONIST allies shipped that entire factory into the country and PLANTED IT! LIES - ALL LIES!

I know folks who have assured me that if we were to find any WMD it would be because the US planted them there. I guess the only way they would believe if for the terrorists to gas NYC.

I think you're missing something:

A senior pentagon official has confirmed to Fox News on Sunday that coalition forces have discovered a "huge" chemical weapons factory....A senior American military officer had said on Saturday U.S. special operations troops combing Iraq for Scud missiles and chemical or biological weapons had found none so far.
