And here we have the US government officials from Bush on down saying over and over that Iraq is linked to Osama-bin-forgotten and 9-11 so often, against denials by even the CIA and FBI that over half of the American public thinks it's true....
lies upon lies upon lies....... And now, we're supposed to believe that after the US intelligence agency was so hard pressed to find evidence that it had to manufacture it that -- lo and behold -- they found a 100 acre giant chemical weapons plant?
Uhhhhh.... Does anyone get the sneaking suspicion that the people in charge of creating propaganda smoked too many joints today? OK, maybe we'll ultimately see that that this story is true. But I suspect this is going to sink faster than you can flush your toilet. Every single square acre of that country has been looked at with US spy satellites.
Here's a tip for you government wanks -- lay off the weed, and consider planting a story that might be able to pass the rat-smell-test, like maybe planting one of those bogus mobile chemical weapons trucks that Hans Blix denied existed following General Colin Powell waxed philosophical about.

'CHEMICAL PLANT FOUND'
A huge chemical weapons factory has been found in Iraq, according to Pentagon sources.
The facility was found by advancing US troops in An Najaf, around 100 miles south of Baghdad, the sources say.
The general in charge of the factory was arrested by the 1st Brigade of the Third Infantry division and is being questioned, the sources said.
An unconfirmed report by Fox news said the complex is around 100-acres, adjacent to military barracks and surrounded by an electric fence.
Sky News Reporter Ian Woods said if the claims are substantiated they will in part vindicate President Bush and Prime Minister Blair.
They have argued the case for war against Iraq on the grounds that Saddam Hussein had banned weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and biological weapons.
The Iraqi regime has always denied this and UN weapons inspectors sent back into the country at the end of last year failed to find any evidence to suggest otherwise.
And on this find the UN said it did not know of any such installation.
