Mmmmm-mmmmm, Hussein's Yellow Cake
Even Despots Love Yellowcake!
Saddam Hussein, that jolly old fellow, had yellow cake. Blogger News Net:
It’s official. There were WMD’s in Iraq. Not fully developed WMD’s, but the infrastructure, scientists, and supplies available waiting for sanctions to be lifted and voila, Saddam back to normal.
[...]
It seems the presence of the yellow cake, which was not concentrated enough to make a bomb but could be used to make a “dirty bomb” was known to the US government and US Army and even the UN, but it’s presence was not publicized for fear that it would be looted. And there was quite a bit of the stuff lying around: 550 metric tons of it.
More from AFP:
The yellow cake was discovered by US troops after the 2003 US invasion of Iraq at the Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Facility south of Baghdad, and was placed under the control of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Yellow cake is a form of processed uranium ore that can be used to make fuel for nuclear reactors, or if further enriched as fuel for nuclear weapons.
Whitman said the Iraqi government asked the United States for help in selling and transferring the uranium to another country.
Cameco, a Canadian company, agreed to buy the yellowcake for a reported sum in the tens of millions of dollars.
Oh it's always Reagan's fault for the Dems. When it's not his it's Nixon's fault. Or HW Bush. Or Limbaugh. Or Joe Lieberman. Christ. The Left is such a bunch of sniveling pussies.
