If they think it will save their skin, I bet they will spill the beans on everything they know without too much encouragement.

Are you sure the word "weapons" was used?

Yes, Bret Bair said he just got that confirmed by the Pentagon.

100 acre, booby trapped, camoflaged, electric fence fortified, run by a General Officer, Chemical Weapons Facility.

Booby trapped, a General in charge, camoflouged so as to be invisible to the naked eye from the air? Looks like the real deal. Whether or not anything is "in stock" is another matter but Generals are not placed at chemical factories producing SOS.

It's obvious that Fox is getting the inside story on this from the Pentagon. It's in the country's interest to have more people watching Fox.

I guess the only way they would believe if for the terrorists to gas NYC.

I doubt they would believe it even then. It would be the CIA, don'cha know, committing this act and blaming it on innocent Muslims so that the eeeeevil Bush administration could scare us into giving up the few remaining rights we have left after the Patriot Act took 90% of them away. Ya know?

With all the talk of Geneva convention today people will cry foul if we ask the General anything beyond name, rank and serial number. And it'd be near impossible to put him on TV to talk about it.

If this guy knows all the goods, I say they offer him Kuwaiti citizenship and whatever else it takes.

Do you think that the reason no one else is covering this is that Fox actually has a reporter at the pentagon, and the other outfits sent thier reporters to hwood for the oscars??? Ha!

It is actually a mausoleum of all of Saddam's dead mistresses. Well, that is one theory. Another is that is used to produce naughty things, but stopped doing so after Gulf 1. A third theory is that it has lethal stuff there, but not WMD. A fourth theory is that we hit the jackpot. I cut, you pick.

I hope one of the embedded journalists is getting footage of all this. If it is documented later it will be claimed to all be faked.

I choose praying that it is vindication... But even if the non believers see it for themselves, they will still not believe...

Also tenuous reports coming in of CB weaponised artillery shells in Iraqi units closer to Baghdad. That report came from General Aiziad.
