No WMD?

The 'yellowcake' you mention dates way back. I think even to the orginal Iraqi nuclear program the Israelis destroyed with an air raid in the 80's. There is no doubt Saddam kept this valuable commodity he could have sold for a lot of money because he was patiently waiting for a chance to restart his nuclear weapons developement program.

ParaTed, The link didn't work for me but I am going to add one of my own that probably relates the same story just in case it doesn't work for other people. http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=300323577877918 What is really interesting to me is how all of the anti-Bush naysayers are going to react to their largest arsenal of Bush attack weapons being decimated! You see, he actually DIDN'T lie about WMD's now did he? Boy, now that's got to hurt all of these Bush bashers feelings! IMO I believe Bush TOOK THE HEAT in order to preserve the secrecy of the huge amount of dangerous materiel inside Iraq that if it had fallen into the wrong hands could have been a nightmare! Bush KNEW that he was going to be bashed but also knew he couldn't release any news of this for fear of terrorists trying to get their hands on it! Bush took the high road and was deemed an incompetent president for it and ALL of you Bush bashers need to take a REAL good look at GWB because there is the epitomy of a hero!! He took one for the team and we have had lesser presidents in the past that would not have done that! (no names will be mentioned)

This story has been out for days now and while the news articles are available, I'm still not seeing this covered in any major way. Has anyone else here noticed that the major networks are keeping this on the down-low? It's like they really hate Bush so much that they don't want anyone to realize that he may have actually been acting on "real" intel and that we actually found the evidence a long time ago and simply couldn't tell everyone because of the dangers involved. Can you imagine what would have happened if the terrorists knew about this find years ago? They would have banded together and focused all their attacks on that location instead of the random attacks and car bombs. There's no way we could have kept it out of terrorist hands if they'd known about it then. I would love to see Obama or McCain discuss this find and what it means for the current war in Iraq.

Wow ParaTed... it's been 5 days now and not a single response from any of the die hard democrats and Anti-Bush folk on these forums. Pretty sad.

Yes - he had this from years before from when WE were helping him make WMDs. This stuff way pre-dated the stuff he never tried to get from Nigeria and can only be converted for nuclear weapons with sophisticated technology - as I understand it, they didn't have that degree of equipment available to them.

I don't think this was a legit find there to begin with. My s/o was in Communications in th 'Nam era and it's kind of like he said. Quote - "America has planes that can basically see inside your home, detect most anything and if this was there, they would have known this a long time ago" I totally agree. Bush needed at least some little something "proved" out of this blunder of a war and financial crisis he has put America in, that's all.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080706/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_yellowcake_mission The link didn't work, but I was able to find the refresh. Hopefully it stays up this time. On to topic, this find is from the older nuclear projects as mentioned, but that doesn't change the possession or the find itself. And I have to bring up a curiosity of mine with this topic. Any materials unaccounted for?
