I can already hear the spin from Blix and the U.N. Something to the effect of "this is something that we would have found eventually had the U.S. not acted unilaterally and allowed the inspection to run their course." BARF!!!

Their agenda for the evening is the POW's.

Did they use the term "quagmire" yet?

Hey, France! The jig is up! M. Chirac, call your office!

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in Chirac's emergency staff meetings that he is going to be having every day for the foreseeable future. This guy is going to be busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest in the next few days trying to cover his own ass. You reap what you sow, Chirac (and this goes for every other liberal Marxist creep)!!

Here is what I don't understand. Why in heck don't we bomb their stupid TV Station and start beaming the truth on every TV set. This radio free America crap is not convincing enough.

Will this find make it more likely that Iraq will use WMD?

It's interesting that Fox gets the inside story from the administration. I'm still waiting to see it played up on NBC and CNN.

FWIW, Brett on FNC said in his report that the General admitted that it was a chemical weapons plant. He's now in custody...

Do you think it's an aspirin factory? -- surrounded by barbed wire, run by a General? Calling Hans Blix, calling Hans Blix -- nothing to see here, move along, move along.

'Huge' Chemical Weapons Plant Found in Iraq

I thought the Iraqi's said they didn't have any chemical weapons. Were they lying?

The Frogs did not say they would join the coalition if WMD were found, they said they would join if they were USED.

And also leaving the impression that there was no other reason for the war.

The frogs didn't even say that... They said they would assist medically and with hazmat teams if chemicals were found. That was from a later clarification, where they stated that even if WMD's were found, they weren't joining the coalition with military force period.

ABC news update on the radio just broke into a local talk show to report the chemical find, and the story is also now on their home page.
