LMAO!

So, from this article, we learn that Saddam not only had no need to shop around the globe for uranium, but further inquiry into Al-Tuwaitha shows the incompetence of this Administration's war planning...

Bravo... idiots!

2. Was this the uranium under control...
...of UN weapons inspectors?

3. Yep, remember the term "U.N. Seal?"
;)

At the time, our main objective was to protect the Ministry of Oil, and not the munitions bunkers and such.

4. NewsMax might have thought this thing through...
...if this had been the WMD they were after, the Bush administration would have trumpeted the news far and wide.

5. The Uranium deposits were well known. As the UN seals indicate.
The admin didn't spread the news because of the looting.

6. Maybe I'm confused, but
if Saddam had that much yellowcake all along, pparently under UN seal (?), why was it necessary to find a new claim that he was seeking it?

7. An elaborate plan was under way....
...to expose the CIA's WMD investigation. The plan was to find a way they could expose the agents in the investigation and kill it dead.

It's dead.

The whole yellowcake story and sending Plame's husband to Niger was an elemental part of the plan.
