A senior pentagon official has confirmed to Fox News on Sunday that
coalition forces have discovered a "huge" chemical weapons factory near the

facility.

now, is this a true story or is this one of those fake untrue stories that fox
reports and that fox now has the supreme court authority to lie with their
protection and blessing. how do we know if its a fox truth or just another in a
long string of faux lies

Simple. Everything on Fox News is a lie, just about.
"Justice is as strictly due between neighbor nations as between neighbor
citizens. A highwayman is as much a robber when he plunders in a gang, as when
single; and a nation that makes an unjust war is only a great gang."

Why would a legitimate plant have Booby traps?

The hostility of the "anti-war" protestors is not toward war, nor even
toward war with Iraq--but toward America and its philosophy of
individualism.

It morphed from a chemical synthesis plant into a chemical weapons factory
after the second or third reply author.

US TROOPS CAPTURE CHEMICAL PLANT

About 30 Iraqi troops, including a general, surrendered today to US forces
of the 3rd Infantry Division as they overtook huge installation apparently
used to produce chemical weapons in An Najaf, some 250 kilometers south of
Baghdad.
One soldier was lightly wounded when a booby-trapped explosive went off as
he was clearing the sheet metal-lined facility, which resembles the eery
images of scientific facilities in World War II concentration camps.
The huge 100-acre complex, which is surrounded by a electrical fence, is
perhaps the first illegal chemical plant to be uncovered by US troops in
their current mission in Iraq. The surrounding barracks resemble an
abandoned slum.
It wasn't immediately clear exactly which chemicals were being produced
here, but clearly the Iraqis tried to camouflage the facility so it could
not be photographed aerially, by swathing it in sand-cast walls to make it
look like the surrounding desert.
Within minutes of our entry into the camp on Sunday afternoon, at least 30
Iraqi soldiers and their commanding officer of the rank of General, obeyed
the instructions of US soldiers who called out from our jeep in loudspeakers
for them to lie down on the ground, and put their hands above their heads to
surrender.
Today's operation is the third engagement with Iraqi forces by the First
Brigade of the US army's 3rd Infantry Division, since Saturday afternoon.
So far in the campaign, the brigade has suffered no losses. But two were
wounded Saturday night in an ambush on the outskirts of As-Samwah in
southern Iraq.

the initial report.
Which is precdisely why you snipped the report out.
After you're gone, we'll have to take turns being wrong.

Odds are the WMDs were consolidated in Baghdad (and Tikrit, to a
lesser extent; Baghdad is the key to this war) or hidden somewhere
we'd not normally expect.
We know Iraq has WMDs. The question is where they are and if they'll
be used.

But there is absolute certainty in the replies (above).

Hopefully not in our pockets.
>We know Iraq has WMDs.
You know nothing. The people or congress were never told AFAIK that the CIA
had positive evidence that Iraq contains Weapons of Mass Destruction.
>The question is where they are and if they'll be used.
The question is whether they will be found, without being planted.
