Its a country as huge as California. Finding all his biological/chemical weapons will take months maybe years. First things first.

So it took the US-led coalition less than 5 days to find WMDs that the arms inspectors couldn't find in 12 years. Thanks for posting this...we all needed some good news today. On to Baghdad!

Well, nobody tell Hans Blix. He needs to continue sleep-walking.

I was just wondering if Centcom is just not going to comment on WMD found? They just got asked questions and they basically brushed them off.

Seems like they you anounce this find to the world.

[eddie willers]

Of course they had been there, but those rose-colored glasses obscured their vision.

Ignorance is Blix.

I could lock myself in a closet for a week, and at the end of the week I would still be more informed about the war than Paula Zahn.

In retrospect, the Fox-CNN "trade" of Paula for Greta put FNC on top once and for all. They haven't looked back since.

I meant "It seems like Centcom would anounce finds in a news conference as they are found" Re: WMD.

[knak]

I know that. I just meant I hope the Iraqi's run awy and we can just walk in and find the things when there's no danger of our guys getting hurt by them.

I don't understand why you people are making a big deal about this, Hans told me personally this is where he was going to look next if he could just stay another day. Infact, he said he was going there for wine and cheese with Jock.

I don't know, but it might be possible that the purchase of these missiles predates Putin or that they were purchased from the Russian mob.

In the case of the French, things are probably more clearcut.

Ignorance is Blix.

So true. It would be almost amusing if this wasn't so serious.

[eddie willers]

Except for your headline what makes these weapons "banned."

Cruise....long range...a no-no I believe.

[concerned about politics]

you mean this?

Yes. The chemical plant was made to look like sand from the air, and was inside Iraq past the no fly zone. Was called a metal factory.

[NautiNurse]

Some of the boxes are clearly marked with the names of British manufacturers...the missiles - date-marked 2002...

Odd?

I don't know, but it might be possible that the purchase of these missiles predates Putin or that they were purchased from the Russian mob.

You make a good point Carry. Nonetheless, it may explain Russia's refusal to join the coalition. Putin may know more than he's let on.

THERE ARE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, NO CHEMICAL WEAPONS, NO TERRORISTS!!!! ONLY AMERICAN PROPAGANDA...

Will someone please post a brave reporter nailing Dashole on this???? His lack of intelligence in protecting the American people, our American Military???
Sheesh.
