And what do you think this facility was used for? Be
serious in your response, but please consider these
facts.........

Every UN resolution demanded that ALL chemical facilities
MUST BE DECLARED, including Resolution 1441. This facility
was never declared by Iraq.

"Fox News reported from the United Nations late on Sunday that UN weapons inspectors had been unaware of any factory in the area of Najaf that might be capable of producing chemical weapons, citing a spokesman for the inspectors."

"The 100-acre complex is adjacent to military barracks and surrounded by an electric fence, the report said."

"one US soldier was lightly wounded when a booby-trap exploded as he was clearing the sheetmetal-lined facility"

"both reports said the Iraqis tried to camouflage the facility so it looked like the surrounding desert and would not be spotted from the air."

The site had a large barracks for troops & had two generals in charge of the facility.

""Confirmation of any (chemical weapons) site would require a thorough investigation and take some time," said one defence official, who asked not to be named. "It may turn out to be a chemical weapons site, or it may be a site that was producing something else.""
