Just how bad were they? Watch!

These are the documents President Bush used as justification for invading Iraq and claiming Saddam was pursuing nuclear weapons.

If this doesn't convince you they only heard what they wanted to hear, nothing will.

  • weston27a2 That 550 metric tons of yellowcake in old barrels dating from 1991 and prior to that is NOT the justification Bush gave to the UN , Congress and the American people for his criminal pre-emptive war, and you know it. You are playing the dumb card.

  • The Picture of Honorable President George W.Bush,especially from 9:00 Minute roll.

    I wish President to go for National POLL/refrendom to retain Life long HONOUR of President of United States.

    Electoral process may continue as it is,but for electing Vice President (Political Government),Life long president will be a good idea to keep constitution as prime focus,while laws in House of commons & Senate may come and go :-)

    Our suggestion,may not works!

    Fixhist is not in Business Yet ;-)

  • Addendum: Saddam did *not* "kick the inspectors out in 1998". Clinton withdrew them in order to bomb his weapons facilities from off shore.

    Nor did he kick them out prior to the '03 invasion. I have a video on that as well.

  • Left over from before the '91 Gulf War, the IAEA was aware of it (as was the UN Security Council), had tagged it and were monitoring it. It was too low-grade to be used in even a dirty bomb, and definitely did not come from Niger as Bush suggested to drum up support for his war.

    Please note that, despite the knowing about this uranium, the Bush Administration NEVER pointed to it in the run-up to the invasion as evidence of Saddam's preparation for war.

  • With or without WMD, with or without forgeries, invading a sovereign nation that is not even in our hemisphere is just stupid, and could have caused WWIII if Saddam DID in fact have nuclear weapons.

  • I'm not trying to deduce or comment on the motives behind your remarks--only on the effect.

    It is clear that Fredfighteru's main point is that the uranium found in Iraq post-2000 was the same material legally and openly purchased 3 decades previously. It was not purchased in violation of any sanctions and had not been diverted to any weapons use. In fact, it had not been used at all, not conventional uses.

  • ND: You might want to review my comments to Fred a bit more. While I was never able to decipher his point, mine has consistently been that Saddam had no WMD materials nor capability.

  • True, but irrelevant.

    Your statements about yellowcake IMPLIED that Iraq had WMD material. Yellowcake is NOT WMD material precisely because it IS natural uranium.

    In this guy's blog at beagle17 dot gnn dot tv slash blogs slash 24619 slash Yellowcake_Fever

    he rambles a bit but gets it right--the uranium in yellowcake is natural uranium.

  • Hi ND. The "point" is that only one can be used in a nuclear weapon, and Saddam had access to none of them.

  • What is your point? Natural, enriched, and

    for that matter depleted uranium all three

    will combine with oxygen to form oxides.

    "Natural", "enriched", or for that matter "depleted" refer to the nuclear properties of the Uranium atoms in the compounds and not in any way to the chemical compounds themselves or their chemical properties.
