WMD? Yellow cake? Suskind seems to finally put those issues to bed.

Now, care to finally revise your justifications for the Iraq War?

Maybe you missed the recent news item about 2.5 tons of yellowcake uranium found in Iraq 3 years ago. The stuff's existence had to be kept secret for security reasons-- now it is being shipped to Canada.

These are hard facts maybe you'd like to argue away-- try something more substantial than claiming you didn't notice the story. The media gave it their usual short shrift on the proverbial page 26, but it did happen.

Why do you think all that yellowcake was stockpiled in Iraq by the Hussein regime? Funny the people on your TV, whose opinions and talking points you spout verbatim, aren't asking that question.

Do you have an answer?

Sure, Saddam used to have a nuclear program. Which involved yellowcake, of course. Then after some attacks, there wasn't really a nuclear program anymore. This wasn't clear to the world. There was reason to be suspicous, but that didn't justify handpicking highly qustionable intelligence. In short:

"There was no evidence of any yellowcake dating from after 1991, the official said."

Maybe you missed the recent news item about 2.5 tons of yellowcake uranium found in Iraq 3 years ago.

This stock was no secret. We knew it was there all along. It had already been accounted for and remained untouched. So please explain, that if Iraq had all this yellowcake, why would they have had the need to go shopping for more?

More importantly, if there was a clandestine enrichment program taking place, what were Iraq waiting for? Where were the centrifuges?

Last but not least, if this was such a huge discovery, why didn't the Bush administration and the neocons jump up and down about it?

Now, do you have a real question or you going to stick to grasping at straws?

"Last but not least, if this was such a huge discovery, why didn't the Bush administration and the neocons jump up and down about it?"

Because its existence and location had to remain top secret. Otherwise it would've been a magnet for "resurgent" groups-- any large explosion involving the stuff would've been, in effect, a dirty bomb.

Maybe you're so heavily invested in the idiotic "there weren't any WMDs" argument that you can't see what temptation the Bush administration overcame-- revealing the existence of the uranium would've been a conclusive retort, but the short-term partisan political advantage had to be refrained from for national security reasons.

It's a fact that the yellowcake's was recently made public-- no, it hasn't been known all along. Not that you'll try, but if you did, you'd search in vain for an article about it. The fact that the uranium stockpile wasn't used as a retort to the false assertians about WMDs-- doesn't prove that it didn't exist, as you seem to be implying.

Why do you think the "neocons" didn't "jump up and down about it?"
