The suspect building has been found to have nothing in it of chemical nature at least according to posts on main forum.

I know.

But on this thread I noted that during the interview Colin Powell gave to Brit Hume (tape, though? That could effect the accuracy) Powell said the building was going to be looked at thoroughly and he indicated it wasn't "cleared" yet.

As I say, it may have been taped and perhaps in the interim a differenct conclusion was reached.

Bottom line: I will be very curious what comes out of this latest briefing.

My thoughts on that possible chemical weapons building: If the regime knows we've found WMD, their legacy in the world is solidified and they have nothing to lose by using them either on their own people or our troops.

The analysts try to out-figure the enemy and it's entirely possible this is mis-information.

Find it hard to believe there's a camouflaged building guarded by 30 guys and an electric fence for nothing. Regardless, if not this building - there are literally tons of chems and biologicals there and we'll find them. While being shot at, I might add (a little problem the UN didn't have).
