The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program -- a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium -- reached a Canadian port Saturday, completing a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a long ship voyage.

The removal of more than 600 tons of yellowcake, the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment, was a significant step toward closing the books on Hussein's nuclear legacy. It also relieved U.S. and Iraqi concerns that the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions.

I think I'll wait for confirmation from a source that didn't try to sell me the Kuwaiti Incubator Story, Niger Yellowcake, Ahmed Chalabi, Mobile Bioweapon Labs, Jessica Lynch and other flim flam faery tales.

Until IAEA confirms it, or SOME at least potentially reputable source, imma treat it just like the bullshit stories listed above.

I'm not sure whether that's accurate, but if it is, I"m not sure what it means...

why that is supposed to contradict the accepted reality, accepted even by the very administration that insisted Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, but by their own admission now, say they did not, is lost on me. If real, this clearly is not the smoking gun that would allow the Bush administration to tout their wisdom in the initial invasion, or else, guess what dude...

they would be, every day...and the news media would cover it if they were saying it, as they always have.

Clearly something doesn't add up to what you want it to add up to here.

The IAEA knew about the yellowcake before we invaded. It was under IAEA seal, but was not considered a serious problem because yellowcake cannot be directly enriched. It's not a big story.

Double check the underlying facts before you jump to conclusions.

You people just don't understand the significance of this report.

CANADA now has yellowcake. They're obviously just a few steps away from becoming a nuclear power; eager to replace North Korea as an Axis of Evil. We should immediately withdraw our forces from Iraq and Afghanistan and start preparing for the invasion.

Nothing to see here, show's over ! Move along, now. Nothing here but a story which completely and utterly justifies Bush's war on Iraq, move along now... go about your daily business.
