A CBS report said, "And, in a symbolic way, the mission linked the current attempts to stabilize Iraq with some of the high-profile claims about Saddam's weapons capabilities in the buildup to the 2003 invasion. Accusations that Saddam had tried to purchase more yellowcake from the African nation of Niger - and an article by a former U.S. ambassador refuting the claims - led to a wide-ranging probe into Washington leaks that reached high into the Bush administration. "
Why has this not been all over our newspapers and on all of the television newscasts of the liberal MSM? Oh I forgot again they are too busy with Joe, and Cindy McCain, Sara Palin, her kids, the McCain kids, etc. I have never witnessed anything like this in the US before. A media that is so obsessed with a candidate winning that they willingly suppress stories of this importance. If they were to widely publicize this than some people might actually believe that it was a good thing to go into Iraq which would undercut Barry.
The Bush Administration cherry picked info and used the yellow cake info in a misleading way. Just ask George Tenant, winner of the Medal of Honor.
If it now turns out that, in fact, Iraq was trying to buy yellow cake, it does not vindicate a story of 5 years ago. It was cynical and premature at best to make the claim at that time.
What were they going to launch it with? hand held weapons? ooh I am scared now> Do really know what a threat is? Did they have a navy? a capable airforce? or were they going to walk over here?
I guess neither of you read this article either. Could you please not respond if you don't read the article? Following are some quotes from the article which I need to point out is on the website for the liberal news network MSNBC.
While yellowcake alone is not considered potent enough for a so-called "dirty bomb" — a conventional explosive that disperses radioactive material — it could stir widespread panic if incorporated in a blast. Yellowcake also can be enriched for use in reactors and, at higher levels, nuclear weapons using sophisticated equipment.
The yellowcake wasn't the only dangerous item removed from Tuwaitha.
Earlier this year, the military withdrew four devices for controlled radiation exposure from the former nuclear complex. The lead-enclosed irradiation units, used to decontaminate food and other items, contain elements of high radioactivity that could potentially be used in a weapon, according to the official. Their Ottawa-based manufacturer, MDS Nordion, took them back for free, the official said.
