WMD's Recently Shipped From Iraq

Well-known member
550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium worth millions of dollars were shipped out of Iraq to Canada. The uranium was transported in 37 military flights in 3,500 secure barrels.

Though the yellowcake had been in Iraq for some time and had been discovered by the United Nations inspectors after the first Gulf War in during the Senior President Bush’s presidency the material has finally been removed. This is a fact the Democrats don’t want publicized and the MSM will oblige.

So much for the the Democrats and Joe Wilson’s claim of no WMD’s. Saddam Hussein was planning for a nuclear arsenal.

From The NY Sun:

There hasn’t been much of a fuss about this material because it had been discovered already by United Nations inspectors after the first Gulf War. But it took a second American war in Iraq to move the material out of the Middle East. For all the talk about America’s failure to discover Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, this is a big deal. We’ve reported on claims by top Israeli officials speaking on the record that Iraq smuggled its chemical weapons to Syria before America invaded in 2003.

The uranium issue is not a trivial one, because Iraq, sitting on vast oil reserves, has no peaceful need for nuclear power. Saddam Hussein had already invaded Kuwait, launched missiles into Israeli cities, and harbored a terrorist group, the PKK, hostile to America’s NATO ally, Turkey. To leave this nuclear material sitting around the Middle East in the hands of Saddam and the same corrupt United Nations that failed to stop the genocide in Darfur and was guilty of the oil-for-food scandal would have been too big a risk.

From the beginning we have called for making the Iraq War a case study in democratization rather than disarmament, realizing that nuclear weapons, like any other weapons, are only dangerous in the hands of outlaws. Iraq’s government is no longer hostile to America. It is grateful to us for freeing them from Saddam, who would rather spend money on palaces and yellowcake than on feeding the Iraqi people. But should America retreat prematurely from Iraq and a hostile regime again take hold there, we all will be safer for the act that 550 tons of nuclear fuel are now being put to peaceful use in Canada rather than being stored a few miles from Baghdad.
There should not be any doubt of Saddam Hussein’s intentions leading up to the invasion in 2003.

Yellowcake Uranium or Plutonium is a necessary ingredient for an atomic weapon, although yellowcake needs further purification, it is radioactive in it's present state. :roll:

Why else would they be buying and storing yellowcake?

So are you now saying that yellowcake is NOT a WMD and the title of your post is a lie? Never mind. I think everyone can judge for themselves. :D

Most of the granite, like the gravel in the your road, in the world is radioactive also...... :roll: :roll:

I guess if you ' chunk' a big enough piece of it at someone it could be a WMD!!!

That's quite the knee slapper you got there kola. Comparing Yellow cake uranium to gravel.

How about you libs explain to us why Saddam had yellowcake. What do you think the intended use was?

Don't have a clue. But he didn't build WMDs with it. We've got some guns in the house but I'm probably not going to shoot anyone.

Big difference there. You are comparing two completely different things. But just to please you let me say you have the right to have those guns. Sadam didn't

Yellowcake is used in the preparation of fuel for nuclear reactors, where it is processed into purified UO2 for use in fuel rods for PHWR and other systems using unenriched uranium. It may also be enriched, by being converted to uranium hexafluoride gas (UF6), by isotope separation through gaseous diffusion or in a gas centrifuge to produce enriched uranium suitable for use in weapons and reactors.

Yellowcake is a first step toward enriched uranium, but it's a long way from being weapons-grade. The powder must still be converted into uranium hexafluoride before it can be enriched, the process that makes the sort of uranium used by nuclear power plants and bomb-makers alike. Because UF6 can be easily turned into a gas, it is ideal for enrichment, which must be done in a gaseous state.

How can you know what it wasn't for, but not have a clue on what it was for? That makes no sense. It looks to me that you made up your mind before reviewing facts, now you're trying to find the facts that justify your decision. Do you work for the USDA?

There's only so many uses for it. Try the process of elimination. Take a wild guess.

Yeah the intended use could be anything but it is line having lead. It could be made into bullets if you have the capiblity. Did Saddam have the capability probably not as he didn't enrich it. Why wasn't it siezed when first discovered.

That is the most correct and stupid statement you have ever made.

First you are correct in that you have no CLUE

And stupid to compare your guns at home to the fact Saddam had Yellowcake.

And of course he did not build WMD's with it, and he never will, we kept that from happening!

"wild guess"? Speculation? Fantasy? :lol: :lol: Not me, I try to deal with facts and reality. The fact and the reality are that Saddam had no WMDs. Continue on speculating and guessing, though, it gives the reality-based community a good laugh.

Ah, the absolute inability to argue with facts. Continue on with insults. :lol:

Nope. I could shoot someone with a gun. Saddam could have built a bomb with yellowcake. But neither one of us has/did. Don't you know that "guns don't kill people"? And neither does yellowcake.

And of course he did not build WMD's with it, and he never will, we kept that from happening!

A million dead people is a high price to pay on the off chance that he'd build WMDs. I think we could have done better.

The "off chance" that he'd build WMDs? He already had them! He had already USED them - on his own people no less! Now he has a substance that can be only used for nuclear power and/or nuclear weapons and you have no idea why he had it or what he was apt to do with it?

He did not have WMDs. If he had them, he'd have used them when the US invaded. None were found by the Bush Administration's WMD investigation team. None were found by the UN investigators. But don't let the facts get in your way. :lol: :lol:

If your theory is correct, why didn't he use them when he was invaded in Desert Strom?

Have you given any thought yet to why Saddam would have yellowcake?

fff thinks he was throwing a party and serving some yellowcake for desert, probably one of his rape parties.

fff is a far left loon, she would not even advocate attacking Saddam if he had WMD's or even if he used them. She was probably one of those hippies spitting on Vietnam vets as they returned from war.

I bet anything she is a card carrying code pink member
