Just heard on ITV News Channel that coalition troops have discovered a 100-acre chemical weapons factory 100 miles south of Baghdad.

Well, I don't know about you, but I’m really shocked.
Do I detect a slight note of sarcasm?
Ok, you caught me...there was a little sarcasm.
Of course, this does raise one critical question...
If this does prove to be a chemical weapons factory - which from updated reports seems likely, as there were military personnel stationed there, (including a General), it was camoflaged, and apparently had quite high security - then Saddam will know that we know he has chemical weapons.
Assuming that the only reason he hasn't used such weapons so far is because it would have been an admission of guilt, does that mean he will now use them?

According to the Beeb, thus far it's nothing more than a "chemical plant", so it could be producing anything from soap and shampoo to rat poison.
But why would you go to such lengths to camoflage a soap factory? 'Sand casting' to obscure it from the ground, and also camoflaged from the air.
Why would it (reportedly) have high security?
Why would it be 90 miles out in the desert?
What's the significance of leaving troops to defend a soap factory? (I use the term 'defend' loosely, as they apparently surrendered!)
I accept nothing is proven yet, but it seems highly suspicious.

Could easily be a simple diversion to slow the rampaging US troops while Saddam uses the US's own gun-ho attitude as fuel to whip the Iraqi people into a righteous frenzy.
Heh. Can't deny that!
"Hammer time, baby! Hammer time!"
"Here come da hammer!"
Err... and so on.
Pull out all the troops and send in John Rambo, that's what I say.
Eh? What do you mean "fictional character"?

Back on a serious note... the equipment of dead Iraqi troops has been found to contain gasmasks to protect against nerve gas.
Again no proof in itself, but as allied troops don't need use chemical weapons, why would they feel the need for them unless...?
