<No civilians were in the facility, which U.S. Central Command said was "clearly marked as a hospital by a flag with a Red Crescent." Marines confiscated more than 200 weapons, more than 3,000 chemical suits with masks and Iraqi military uniforms in the hospital, and found a T-55 tank in the hospital compound, Central Command said.

First, it's a violation of international law to use a hospital as a staging grounds for military action. That makes the hospital a clear military target, but had we bombed that target, you can rest assured that the Iraqis would've shown the "innocent civilians" killed and injured in the attack.

Second, since we don't have any chemical weapons over there, you have to know that those chemical suits are intended to protect their troops against their own weapons and they're preparing to use them.
