The Pentagon has confirmed troops have "secured" huge chemical weapons plant. FOX is devoting a lot of time on it right now, however other networks are silent. High level officials should peek their heads out and have a press conference and broadcast this to the entire world.

I'm sure if we would have just given the inspectors more time they would have found this. /sarcasm

I love the story of how CNN stole away FOX New's " highest paid on air personality." How did Walter Isaacson ( head of CNN ) know Zahn was that? She told him. He didn't check out that O'Reilly was paid about twice as much at the time. She was about the fourth or fifth highest paid at FOX.

I can just see Special Agent O'Malley of the CIA saying: "So, General...what shall we talk about first? For your sake, you better have a lot to say."

The question is, are there actually 'weapons" there, or is it simply a factory?

FOX is saying it is a 100 acre facility! No wonder the weapons inspectors missed it.

BTW--SolitaryMan- I love that song by Neil Diamond. Is that where your nick comes from? :-D

Yeah I like the song too. I'm not some recluse mountain man. Just happy to be me...I do well in groups or by myself.

3 things a hotel should ask you BEFORE you make reservations:

1)Smoking or Non?

2) Big pillows (that give you stiff necks) or small ones.

3) Fox or CNN?
