Has Anybody Heard Anything About Uranium Being Found In Iraq To Vindicate Bush?......

[global1]

a Repug friend is touting this story. Any truth to it?

[Vickers]

1. Ask them for a non-Fox link.

That usually shuts up my wingnut acquaintances.

2. There was a KNOWN amount of yellow cake in the country from before the first invasion.

3. I think that they got uranium confused . . .

. . . with that glowing stuff on watch dials.

4. Thousands of pounds...

...in an early stage of industrial purification, known to and declared to the IAEA, under IAEA seal. None acquired after Desert Storm in '92.

Zero weaponization or proliferation risk.

Full details from the Bush administration itself here.

5. Which BS story are they touting now

I've heard a few of them.

Like the above poster ask them for a Gov. source to the story. No elected official will hang their hat on these rumors because they are so affaid to be linked to Bush's attempt to direct the CIA to publish false stories of WMDs in the lead up to Iraq War

6. Bush has had plenty of time to put it there

[pocoloco]

7. They had a bunch of it but no means to refine it.

Remember the fuss over the Al tubes?

Search Google for "yellowcake in iraq".

8. Of Course...

Of course there's uranium now... we've left huge amounts of depleted uranium throughout Iraq. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they started claiming that it was there when we arrived.

Just one of many, many articles:
