The WMD guys should have some embedded reporters go with them with cameras.

Yet more "proof" that team Bush is full of symps, wouldn't you agree?

My family had Uncle Bill, we have TBL, it is a cross we bear.

I understood that's how this story got out, from an embedded reporter.

It is my impression from watching Paula Zahn that she is a mean-spirited, disgruntled person. Maybe somewhat annoyed that after she left FOX they became the number one network. Nonetheless, she is seldom happy on air and is always looking to stab someone in the back from the long list of negative stories. Reminds me of Wolf Blitzer and Judy Woodruff, so I guess in that sense I shouldn't be surprised.

Misery loves company.

For an example of media bias watch Forrest Sawyer on MSNBC try to disparage this discovery.

It's not unhealthy to wait for verification and keep "aspirin factory" in mind.

FNC just stated that the inspectors just visited a cement factory there and missed it...

They didn't miss it, they weren't looking for it/didn't want to find it. I think there are a lot of people with egg on their faces. Including Madelaine Notsobright.

Exactly! And one more thing,isn't there some kind of central command for chemical and biological weapons? I would think so.It reminds me of a thread I saw a couple of nights ago.The gist of the story was that Australian commandos had bombed/destroyed(?)some kind of WMD command center.

>Oh dear, now what's France gonna do? They said they would join the coalition if we found WMD.

Do we have a link for this story? I remember hearing/reading it too...

Thanks in advance.
