The link is here.

From what I've read, it actually is a known and apparently legal Iraqi chemical plant. (I know that sounds like an oxymoron [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

They have found barrels of chemicals there, but since it was a chemical plant, there would, of course, be chemicals there. The military is very reserved in their assessment of this facility and the findings because of that fact.

I do expect WoMD to be found in Iraq, but I'm going to withhold judgment on this possible find until an official assessment is made.

<font color = lightgreen>It is so very difficult to tell what may or may not be a chemical weapon factory. It all depends upon the reagents present and how they may be used, as well as the definition of "chemical weapon". Simple potassium nitrate can be dangerous, but not in a "mass destrucion" sort of way. This will unfortunately take weeks to sort out. </font>

I'm still withholding judgement while finding the information interesting, but new reports, while not saying WoMD were found, are saying this site was not a "disclosed" site. They also say this site was found to have "sanding(sp?)" masking techniques in place to hide it from satellite recon. ;)

Them wasskely Iraqi's camouflaging an asprin factory, where's Slicky willie when you need him? ;)

Hmm not sure why this site was so effectively camouflaged if it was a legal chem plant. Interesting

Me too [img]smile.gif[/img]

That reminds me movies where the cop put some drug in the bad guy's pocket so he can arrest him.

I don't have any doubt on that, WoMD will be found, in a way or another.

Probably a legal chemical plant for civil uses one day and used to make WoMD the next.

It probably makes aspirin or something, like the one slick willy bombed to give him time to get a BJ from Monica.

Maximus, if you carry on with this sort of posting style, your stay here will be extremely short. There is nothing wrong with being passionate about a subject, but your comments are pure flamebait.

Back off, take a deep breath, read the "Rules and Regulations" and think more carefully before you post. If you show respect for your fellow members, that respect will be returned. If you don't, you're history.
