    Chemical Weapons Plant Found -- 100 Acres

    OK, Fox News is reporting, and a number of news organizations are carrying that the US 3rd Infantry Division has captured a huge chemical weapons plant near Najaf, the Shiite holy city south of Baghdad.

    I am interested in hearing what harm this report would do the information warfare campaign if it is not true and Fox News is discredited. Alternatively, if it is true, what would that mean for world public opinion on this endeavor? I would be laughing my ass off in either case.

    Anyway, the Jerusalem Post was the other source, so...

    Re Najaf, there was a battle near there today and the city is reported by Iraqi opposition forces to be in revolt.

      Even if it isn't a chemical weapons plant it will be.

      Even if it actually is a chem weapons plant, it's irrelevent. Opposition to the war isn't about whether or not Hussein may or may not have had weapons. It's about trying to stop the US from being a global bully.

                    It's all part of the "vast right wing conspiracy" Dan. There is no chemical plant. Didn't you see the baby formula sign??

                      A chemical plant isn't the same thing as a chem weapons plant.

                      DanS, the day I start taking orders from the Communist Part is the day I start voting Democratic.

                        It's being listed as a chemical weapons plant.

                        Draped in camoflauge and defending by Iraqi troops. A general and 30 troops surrendered.

                        Why would they be defending a place like that?

                              U.S. Finds Suspected Iraq Chemical Plant

                              Mar 23, 8:49 PM (ET)

                              By MATT KELLEY

                              WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. troops have found a suspected chemical factory in Iraq and officials were trying to determine late Sunday whether it was involved in making chemical weapons, U.S. officials said.

                              The plant is near the city of An Najaf, which U.S. troops reached Sunday on a push to Baghdad, the officials said.

                              President Bush and other U.S. officials say ridding Saddam Hussein's regime of chemical and biological weapons is the main objective of the war.

                              Saddam's government denies it has any chemical, biological or nuclear weapons or programs to produce them.

                              Asked at a news conference in Qatar Sunday about reports of the chemical plant, Lt. Gen. John Abizaid of U.S. Central Command declined comment. He said top Iraqi officers have been questioned about chemical weapons.

                              "We have an Iraqi general officer, two Iraqi general officers that we have taken prisoner, and they are providing us with information," Abizaid said.

                              If the plant is confirmed as a chemical weapons factory, it would be the first find by the U.S.-led invasion force validating U.S. allegations that Iraq still has weapons of mass destruction.

                              Iraqi officials have insisted that they destroyed all of the chemical and biological weapons they made after the 1991 Persian Gulf War - a claim U.N. weapons inspectors have questioned.

                              U.N. weapons inspectors are not aware of any large-scale chemical sites which could be used to make chemical weapons in An Najaf, said Ewen Buchanan, spokesman for the inspectors. However, there are many such dual-use sites in other parts of the country because of Iraq's petrochemical industry.

                              U.N. inspectors visited a cement plant in An Najaf earlier this year but did not report finding anything.

                              The U.S. military's discovery was first reported in the Jerusalem Post, which has a reporter traveling with the unit from the Army's 3rd Infantry Division which reached the chemical plant. The newspaper reported that about 30 Iraqi troops, including a general, surrendered at the plant. (emphasis added)


                              Right now, all the US government is saying is that it is a suspected chem weapons site, not that it actually is. Don't jump the gun.
