The interesting thing is, how is the US going to plant chem weapons unless they have some of their own?:rolleyes:

If Iraq is smart, they'll make sure none are found, even if it means destroying them.  The US must capture the chem weps intact because if they find them destroyed, then it only supports what Iraq said.

No, they only said that they didn't find any, and that they should keep looking.

I don't personally think they will find WMD at that munitions storage area.  Fox broke that a little too early, very ambitious reporting is what I think we will find out. I was reading today that there will be an extensive site survey in the very near future, but preliminary results are a nogo.

This is one of the disadvantages to having embedded journalists.  In previous engagements, the gov't would release the info to the press, or they'd have to infer it through "rogue reporters".

Now, being on the front line with live feeds, they hear "chemical weapons plant" and roll with it.  In most battles, even the people involved don't sort the facts out until that battle is over, and they sit back and go over it.
