Probably not, France and Russia will just make more excuses for Iraq.

I'd feel better if CNN confirmed it. Fox news is sooo... tabloidal?

An Najaf is 100 miles outside of Baghdad.

I sincerely hope that the report of the chemical weapon factory is true. This is one of the eight goals of the Coalition Forces and it shuts up the critics who doubted that Iraq possessed them.

Ok I just put foxnews on. They call sky news their "sister network." Ergo they will have the same information, or disinformation.

The bad part about the discovery is that it was first reported by the Jerusalem Post.

The reporter traveling with the armed forces group who discovered the plant/warehouse was an Israeli.... how will the Arab Street Spin this discovery ??

i don't think they ever denied that Iraq had WMD. i think what they wanted was an extension.

in my opinion the stand of the French had NOTHING to do with trying to aid or save Iraq from war. i think it was just their attempt to make a point regarding the US. that they could control the US ORRR that the US was a rogue nation. either way, they just wanted to make the US look bad.

I really feel for bush, i don't think he had a good or easy way out.

I'm sure it's all just a zionist conspiracy, those chemicals are used for peaceful purposes.

Don't worry, give CNN a few more hours and they'll get to it.

This is as good as fact, Jerusalem Post is reputable. I think they have network agreements with MSNBC, I know I've seen their correspondents on one of the major news networks.

After watching CNN intensively for the last three days, why havent we heard much use of the Apache gunships, and WHERE THE HELL ARE THE C-130 GUNSHIPS?!?!?:| Did we leave all those in Afghanistan??? The crap they were going through in Nasiriyah requires the unuiqe diplomacy of such wonderful negotiation aircraft.:D Less of our troops would get injured, and I bet they would consider surrendering sooner.
