NO CHEMICAL Weapons Plant found!

Fox was wrong... AGAIN! (http://www.datekdj.newsalert.com/bin/djstory?StoryId=CpN6q0aebqLqWmduWmJu)

Of course, I'm sure everyone in here will admit being wrong and admitting Fox is a joke when it comes to news reporting. No wonder the other news networks were laying off of this HUGE bombshell.

I could be wrong, but I don't remember FOX giving any unequivocal report that the plant was a chemical weapons plant, nor you providing any evidence that they had apart from your report of what you heard over the air.

Fox and Propaganda (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,81935,00.html)

Coalition forces discovered Monday a "huge" suspected chemical weapons factory near the Iraqi city of Najaf, some 90 miles south of Baghdad, a senior Pentagon official confirmed to Fox News.Sounds like they already felt it was, opening the story like that in bold.

Kiwimac:bonk: Newsworld International is perhaps the only source normally available that could be considered better. BBC is good, but I'm such a fan of CBC.

makes you kinda suspicious don't it now
The gas masks were indeed brand new, as were the decontamination kits, and atropeine -- used to treat exposure to nerve agents.

[wienerdog]

The article I read at http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1084802,00.html said that "UN weapons inspectors have said they are not aware of any large-scale chemical sites in Najaf." Even if this was an old site, weren't they supposed to report it in that 10,000+ page document they submitted?

[Epoetker]

Oh, it's looking like it was definitely a chem weapons PLANT. Where the chemical WEAPONS went (Syria, the nearset Baath stronghold, most likely) is an open question.

[Solly]

Right Idea got bitten on this one when he triumphantly posted an article from WorldNewsNet declaring a chemical plant had been found. Trouble was, by the timne i read it, they had altered it as the report was palyed down to "old chemical plant".

[$cirisme]

The initial report says that it has not been used recently, but that is only the initial report.

They'll do a more exhaustive report after the war. :duh:

[Epoetker]

This report better include an explanation of what happened to this stuff:

We so seriously need to re-check Osirak...

[$cirisme]

Excuse me if I don't see how Fox was wrong.

It WAS a chemical weapons factory.

:ahem:

[The Laughing Man]

The subject of this thread is false. The article doesn't state that a chemical weapons plant wasn't found - only that no weapons were found at the suspected site. Not a big surprise, actually. It's very likely that the Iraqis hid the weapons elsewhere. Perhaps, like the news story I heard on the radio this morning about (non-chemical) weaponry and gear (including a tank and chem suits!), they hid them in a hospital or school.

So far, it's waddling and quacking like a duck, folks.

[$cirisme]

Please tell me how Fox was wrong. :smile:

I'll explain the thread to Pilgrim.
Yes, a chemical plant was found.
No, chemical weapons were not found at the plant.
Fox News announced the finding of a suspected chemical weapons plant. The chemical plant that was found was the suspected chemical weapons plant, so a suspected chemical weapons plant was found.
Mmm-kay?

Fox was the only "mainstream" media that really was pressing this, as they have with any other "discovery" such as the Weapons of Mass Insect Destruction. Fox ran with that, most others didn't.

And I am waiting for his advice on how to speed up the server. Be prepared to upgrade the hdd, boom. :bonk: HAW HAW HAW! That's great. Once again I'll just toss my own experience with computers down the drain. I mean simply because such a thing actually does work in my experience.

[Pilgrim]

ANd how do they know it was a chemical plant for manufacturing chemical weapons?

Are you replying to me, Pilgrim?

For the answer, you would have to read my previous post to this thread.
Happy hunting.

[Pilgrim]

Sorry I didn' find your previous post to this thread explaining that. I assume that the believe it have been a munitions oriented plant because of the protective gear that was found there?

How old it his plant anyway? Was it around before or during Gulf War I?

My previous post explains, by implication, that it wasn't assumed that the plant was used to make chemical weapons.

Why would you assume that "they" believed it to be a munitions-oriented plant?
The reporter believed the plant suspicious because it appeared to have been disguised from aerial identification.



How old it his plant anyway? Was it around before or during Gulf War I?

IIRC, the site does date from the Gulf War era, and the follow-up inspection revealed that the site hadn't been used for its primary purpose (chemical manufacture) for some years.

Sure, but I'm careful not to insert my own bias; something you seem unable to do.


Fox was the only "mainstream" media that really was pressing this, as they have with any other "discovery" such as the Weapons of Mass Insect Destruction. Fox ran with that, most others didn't.

And your point would be?



HAW HAW HAW! That's great. Once again I'll just toss my own experience with computers down the drain. I mean simply because such a thing actually does work in my experience.

Great, and only in your experience, too. :ahem:

[Pilgrim]

Did anyone hear, I believe it was a story introduced by Terry Grosse this afternoon about the lack of evedince so far?

[Pilgrim]

Oh, it was on NPR, obviously.
