MWL,

And it's all old news - not important.

Actually, it is old news.  The material was procured in the period 1979 through 1982, and "remains in Iraq, under the control of the IAEA...in the same form as it was received".

So was this the stuff Saddam was trying to buy in Africa?

He did buy some of the yellow cake from Niger, but this was not the alleged transaction disputed by Joe Wilson.  The IAEA and Joe Wilson knew about the yellow cake Iraq received from Niger on February 8, 1981 and March 18, 1982.  Iraq sent a letter to the IEAE notifying them of the first batch, but did not notify them of the second batch.  I would chalk this up to being lazy.  The purchase of the yellow cake you're referring to never happened.  I think the American Government forced the Iraqi's to sell the yellow cake to Canada because they wanted to get it out of the Middle East.  Here's my source.

Faux news?

C'mon Mike. You're better than that. 

mwleach:

At least I happened to be catch the short piece with Brit Hume on Fox tonight - he at least MENTIONED it in passing.  I'm betting none of the mainstream media did.  Ho, hum, no big deal, right?

The US military apparently has just completed shipping the 600 TONS (!!!) of yellowcake urananium, discovered in Saddam's stockpile after the US invasion, from Iraq to Canada.  Where it will be safer.  It was not weapons grade, of course, or even enriched.  What it was was the raw material to (re)develop a nuclear program at a later date, assuming anybody had any hankering to do so.  I can't think of anyone who would have, can you?

So was this the stuff Saddam was trying to buy in Africa?  Oh, no - as the NY Times and the International Herald Tribune, who actually (and no doubt grudgingly) had to report the story, this was NOT the same yellocake as in the Bush's "now discredited remarks in his state of the Union speech" in 2003, (they all use the same words as if on cue).  Discredited, eh?  By whom?  Proven liar Joe Wilson?

In any event, the 600 tons of yellowcake uranium that Saddam had on hand was apparently insufficient. 

600 Fooking TONS !!!

And it's all old news - not important.  Just like the failure of the surge and our defeat in Iraq.

I guess, as I have long suspected, we are living in Bizzaro world, where nothing means anything any more.  Time to focus on the hope for change, or the change of hope, or some such total BS.

 You're not reading anyone's posts are you?

So let see here the main stream media gets a FAX from a Kinkos in Taxes about President Bush's service record and the left jumps all over it and it is wrong.....

NOW we get report about yellow cake and the left jumps all over it as wrong......

I think I see a pattern here. 

Santa Cruz,

You didn't go back and read my post or look at my source, did you?  Santa's a bad boy this year, isn't he?  I'm just playing Santa.  I just don't know how to respond to some of your rants.

For all you on the left and those who should know better

who on fox news lies like Dan Rather? 

It is a simple question give me a name and a link.

if you can not

I have a 12 step program for you

first stand up say your name and that you are a liberal...

then let the healing began.

Santa Cruz,

That's not the 1st step!  Here's the first step.

Step #1: It is high time that every American be guaranteed the right to speak freely. It is not reserved solely for left-wing college students who wish to take advantage of the first amendment to shout down conservatives. At the same time, they must not construe the conservative’s right to dismiss them as arrogant idiots as censorship.  http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/BurtPrelutsky/2008/03/07/a_12_step_program_for_recovering_liberals

Besides, I tried the 12 step program described in the link.  If haven't noticed, it did not work!  Anyone else try it?

next step is to admit you have a problem.
