VIENNA, Austria - U.N. experts have found traces of plutonium near an Egyptian nuclear facility and are investigating whether it could be weapons-related or simply a byproduct of the country's peaceful atomic activities, diplomats told The Associated Press on Friday.



The diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, warned against assuming that Egypt might have contravened the Nonproliferation Treaty by trying to separate plutonium, a substance used in nuclear weapons. The traces could be from a cracked research reactor fuel element or have other origins that have nothing to do with weapons research, they said.

1. what's a byproduct doing outside of the containment facility?

just curious. It's a general rule to keep the radioactive material CONTAINED!!!

Jumpin catfish, people!

2. Everyone will be working on nukes now

Whether by fraud or not, the reinstatement of Bush in the White House will be seen as a hurry up call for nuclear weapons development around the world. It is the only way to be safe from invasion.

4. Priorities, priorities

Make everyone afraid, and spend more money to create weaponry which generates more fear, create more poverty which increases loathing of imaginary enemies, necessitating more weaponry and creating more fear.

Priorities, priorities.

George W. Bush is the AntiChrist.

3. Man, Bush has so many Muslim countries to nuke and just 4 years to do it

I bet he is rolling the dice right now to see which country to bomb and conquer next. After turning America into a Theocracy and Dictatorship he has set his eyes on the whole world. I bet he already has called architects to develop plans for concentration camps for non-Christians, gays, and Kerry voters. Sieg Heil...Sieg Heil...Sieg Heil

8. I predict there will be a movement to repeal the two term amendment

Now that electoral fraud has been perfected, Bush will want to stay on for a few extra terms. Watch for it.

The endless war is about to get hotter.
