Chemical Weapons Plant Found in Iraq

[Grog]

I guess I'm just on a roll...

How many days did it take our Marines to find this chemical plant???
How many years did it take for the UN not to find this chemical plant???

I really hope that they have found chemicals. Not because I want them to possess chemical weapons, but I believe that our Government new without a doubt and would never have put our men in such a dangerous position, unless they believed they did with great certainty. I want all of these people who have said that this was not a just war to see Saddam for what he is.

I pray that once they know that the world knows that they don't try to use them on our loved ones.

Looks like it was DH's first Army Division, the 3rd ID(Ft Stewart) that may have made the discovery ! Way to go!

Jeff,
That is just too funny!!!!

But you know that Blix would say........

Yes they have found a chemical plant, with many chemicals and weapons of mass destruction.......but on the other hand they are showing that they are taking steps to disarm.

It always used to make me mad when he would say but on the other hand!!!

Yeah, maybe on the other hand he just wanted to make them but never use them???

Dude I'm rolling on the floor here. Enough that I didn't want to use initials for it.

It almost makes me forgot you probably posted that from a MAC.

Ok, as a sobering thought, now that the cat appears to be out of the bag regarding the chemical weapons, Saddam wouldn't have to worry about using the WOMD that he does have.

Previously, everyone assumed his strategy would be not to use them to prove USA wrong. Now he doesn't need to worry about that.

BibbidiBobbidiBoo - way to go to your husband's unit!!! They should have sent him and his unit over there instead of the inspectors - LOL. We are very proud of your husband, his men, and all the troops that are over there.

Now, it is our turn......... WE TOLD YOU SO FRANCE!!! As we do the Tigger dance

 

[Claudia1]

Yikes, jfulcer, I hadn't thought of that!!!!

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Can you say "material breach"?

It will be very interesting to see how this develops.

Disnee Dad Says.......................................Maybe they are just makeing sand fertilizer to keep the sand grainy!
France and Germany will simply say " how dare you find the chemicals plant! you aren't supposed to look there, therefor that one doesn't count and neither do any of the others you find. Only the ones you don't find count." Then off the record it will be, um sadman your last check bounced.
