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.

Disinformation is everywhere. So are cameras- hopefully they'll get a crew out there to show the world.

Seriously, the JP is one of the most respected newspapers (outside of the Arab countries) in the world.

Also, with FoxNews saying that th Pentagon has confirmed, I doubt this is a conspiracy.


Lemme take a guess- all the instruction manuals in the place will be in either French or German.

Less of our troops would get injured, and I bet they would consider surrendering sooner.

Aren't a lot of the Apaches part of the 101st Airborne, which is moving up the western part of Iraq in order to move in to attack Baghdad?

A senior pentagon official confirms has told Fox News on Sunday that coalition forces have discovered a "huge" chemical weapons factory near the Iraqi city of An Najaf, which is situated some 225 miles South of Baghdad

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

SkyNews is reporting it also.

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

Wasn't vouching for the credibility. They are just on my list of 6-8 news sites that I read. After your comment about the "sister" thing I checked and they are owned by Rupert Murdoch.

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 ??

MSNBC has just announced the US will not confirm that this is a chemical factory.

Somebody with some birdcrap on his shoulders that everyone comes to attention and salutes will have to get up there and confirm for Bush.

Then he can slap down the naysayers.

I'm sure the Petagon will be rolling out footage of this factory faster than Al Jazzera can play the footage of the POWs.

This very well might be the "smoking gun" we have been looking for.........

I was watching CNN and all any troops seemed to be using were Koyah (how ever its spelled) helicopters witch are just the plane jane helocopter with some special stuff. The apaches are rugged as hell.

Napalm banned as I understand it, but cluster bombs are OK!

 

[LotharJade]

What the heck are they using military bell jet rangers for anyway? Arent they much slower than the Hughes type?

 

[Tripleshot]

I think napalm has already been used in this campaign. I believe I saw a report on it yesterday or friday. Some Iraqis were cooked on the side of the highway.



So was their vehicles.

On main briefing today. Napalm is not used anymore.

 

[Jmman]

No, that was the thread of the highway of death from 91. We do not use Napalm at all anymore. Even in 91 we didn't use it either, but what else can you expect from that idiot Ramsey Clark who wants to see the US overthrown.....

Another DWI (Driving While Incinerated)? OK, that may be in bad taste but that does remind me of pics I saw of the first Gulf War from the "Highway of Death".

FOX News reporting confirmed find of chemical plant. Says Pentagon says troops have detained general in charge.

Its called the OH-58 Kiowa, the 7th Cav are the ones using them.

 

[Iwentsouth]

The Sydney Herald? Or some Austrailian paper said the US was using napalm.

The US destroyed all there napalm a few years ago. We no longer have the stuff in our stocks.

The Aussie paper later printed a retraction.

 

[Krugger]

yahoo news now reporting too Huge Iraqi Chemical Weapons Factory Found -Fox News tho it just mentions the same stuff. No way the US will confirm this until they are absolutely positive they know what the deal is. This is not something they want to screw up. If this is true tho, how do u say i told u so in french, german, and russian?

Is anyone watching MSNBC? I've been flipping back and forth between MSNBC and the game (MSU is putting the big hurt on Fla ) and I heard the guy (forgot his name) saying that we knew it was there, and that that will beg the question 'if we knew it was there why didn't we let the inspectors know about it'? I'm assuming he was talking about this chem factory but I'm not sure. I know he said it, just not sure what he was referring to.

The embedded reporter who drove by must have misinformed me. I stand corrected. Thank you.

Do you think the handpicked by France and Saddam inspection team would try to find WMD?

 

[Iwentsouth]

It was some Aussie chick. She was wrong.

 

[LotharJade]

maybe we found something else to replace napalm. Maybe that crap they put into silly string. LOL! Or maybe we are just spraying hair spray around (ever see what happens to a girl at a heavy metal concert whose hair catches on fire, :Q).

Maybe he meant we knew, in general. that WMD existed...and this is the proof.

FOX saying it's a 100 acre chemical weapons complex.
