That's all you got ?
First, there was no yellow cake. Bush lied in his SOTU speech. Now, 600 TONS of the stuff ?
Huh.

I know even you aren't quite that naiive, 'Rap. Show me one single instance of anyone here claiming that Saddam never once had any yellowcake at all. What IS in dispute is that he was trying to get MORE yellowcake from Niger in the days leading up to the US invasion of Iraq, as Bush claimed he was.
It's not out of the realm of possibility that Saddam had a supply of yellowcake which he'd bought years before (remember, he DID have a nuclear reactor once upon a time, right? Seems the Israelis caused it to "malfunction" somehow...).
Also, can someone please point me to where it's been confirmed that the only possible use of yellowcake is for weapons-grade enriched uranium? I know Geezer was only joking about Canada, but you really should stop to think about it - if yellowcake is only useful for nuclear weapons programs, what the fuck is CANADA doing with it?!

It's actually a negative indicator. Iraq had yellow cake it couldnt use, why would they look to buy more?

In Quebec they'd surrrender, being Frenchified. The rest play Hockey for the kicks of brawling on skates, and they have superior Zamboni technology.

Phfffftttttt! Cough cough.
Right...
Next you'll think the "news media" will let us in on the secret that algore actually didn't create the internet, Dan Blather wasn't really right, and 2/3 of all U.S. Presidential Impeachments really did involve Slick Willy.

You are correct. I had neglected to remember that yellowcake is also a component in top grade floor wax and or dessert topping.

Thanks for that answer. Apparently, YOU don't know, either. But that won't stop you from shouting from the rooftops that this "proves" that Saddam had WMD...
Guess what? There's radiation in damn near EVERYTHING in the universe. Nuclear weapons take very specific kinds of uranium and plutonium, and I was asking if there was any GOOD evidence that yellowcake is ONLY useful for that purpose. As usual, you've got no good answer. But I'm used to that.
Now, quickly change the subject and accuse anyone who doesn't agree with you of "hating America", because that one just NEVER gets old!

Your lack of logic still astounds me, AU.
Go have some yellowcake for desert.

Or Great Britain? Or France? Or Pakistan, India, Israel, South Africa, any number of former Soviet states, Canada, Japan, BOTH Koreas... They all have nuclear programs of one sort or another, and no doubt have SOME use for uranium - how can you be SURE that they don't have weapons programs centered around that nuclear material?
In fact, MOST of those listed above do indeed have nuclear weapons. Why haven't we invaded Pakistan? They're a Muslim nation, run by a dictator, known to be harboring terrorists (including Bin Laden himself, according to most sources - or what you'd call a "slam dunk") - why have we not invaded them, or at the very least nuked them?
