Was It a Baby Milk Factory?

When CNN’s Peter Arnett reported on the seventh day of Desert Storm that an infant formula plant in the Abu Ghraib suburb of Baghdad had been bombed, Washington was categorical in its dismissal. “It is not an infant formula factory,” Gen. Colin Powell said, “... It was a biological weapons facility, of that we are sure. ...”

Intelligence analysts had identified the eight-year-old plant as one of 13 biological weapons sites. The four-acre compound had a pronounced military appearance, particularly buildings painted in camouflage colors, surrounded by fence and guard posts.

The Iraqi regime said the baby milk factory had been camouflaged since the war with Iran.

The Iraqis said the baby milk factory had been camouflaged since the eight year war with Iran in the 1980s.

War planners took no chances and bombed any facility that might be hiding germ agents.

U.N. inspectors and U.S. intelligence concluded that the Abu Ghraib bombing was in error after Saddam Hussein’s son-in-law Hussein Kamel defected in 1995. Kamel said Iraqi biological-agent research was centered at Al Hakam, 60 miles southwest of Baghdad, and three other facilities, not including the baby milk factory.

Iraq rebuilt the factory by 1993 as a showcase for anti-U.S. propaganda. The Iraqis displayed milk cans and debris, painted murals and brought school children for field trips and pep rallies.

Thank you for the explanation and the link.

I’m not going to say consider the source because it may very well be correct. Klintoon hit an aspirin factory in Sudan and lobbed about $200 mil worth of cruise missiles in the Afghani desert, all in the name of Monica Lewinsky.

I was mentioning the baby milk factory in the context of the enemy claims, echoed by the MSM. Anytime we hit a target and people are killed it’s a wedding party or a house full of civilians.

The Washington Compost is one of the MSM biggies.

I have to hit the rack to. So much has been held in limbo regarding Iraq's WMD programs it is enough to *iss one off.
The world is being deceived to think they where not going to do whatever it took to restore all the programs they had in place over a number of years, once conditions showed a green light to do so.

It is being openly said that the Israelis are keeping quiet about their Syrian raid on Saddam's stockpile

This is the first I heard that that the raid on Syria was to destroy Saddam's stockpile. Why am I always the last to know ?

What troubles me...by the time Saddam moved his WMD's to Syria via convoy, the U.S. had already decided it was going to attack.

It seems to me that satellite photos should have covered Iraq and surrounding states 24/7.

Should we have seen these convoys ?

On the one hand, the bureaucrats have banned further public access to the Saddam files because too much genuine information was emerging on how to build an A-Bomb. At the same time, Negroponte has been telling people that there is no evidence of any WMD programs in the Iraqi files. They can’t have it both ways. They can’t re-classify the Saddam files because they give out too much info on WMD, and then deny that the Saddam files have any WMD evidence.

Marxists are all about having it both ways. After all their entire theory is based on withering away the large state by making it even larger. If you can con anarchists into accepting communism, you can con people into accepting that proof of evidence is lack of evidence.

Actually it’s thought the movement, facilitated by Russia, was after our attack. There are photos, the most significant 40 or 50 trucks leaving what was thought to be a weapons facility in a convoy to Syria on day 9 or 10. Of course there’s no way of knowing what was in them. Could have been nothing more than cash.
