srrh- some good info has come up in the weekend.
1. 1980 Saddam tried to buy/or bought some yellow cake from Africa.
2. 1991 defecting scientists tell about saddam's plans to build bombs.
3. 2001 intel from the UK via France tells the USA that saddam is trying to buy more cake from Africa.
4. Italy produces some forged documents related to the subject.
5. Oct 2002 CIA tells bush not to mention the cake story yet due to not having enough info.
6. State of the Union adress, CIA director George Tenet OKed the line Bush said "the British government has learned etc etc."
This week - the UK and the CIA both state that the intel is real - the choice to go to war was not based on this. - Many sources outside italian documents all confirm the statement.
Bush didn't lie, he quoted the british gov, and people are making a big deal out of nothing. The only thing that people can gripe about is that the intel was not coming from a US asset, so the US was getting the intel second/third hand.

Rick i know about the kids playing with the stuff i admit that is not good. But those kids have RPGs, AKs, yellow UN food packets that look like US bomb packets, mines, etc. That is a ton of other stuff just like our stuff that is making problem for those kids.
as for the shells putting off fumes, the people that are getting hit with that stuff are shooting at our boys, so we are trying to kill them anyways.

TC,
Yop I heard some of this on Monday (I had a BIG wedding this week-end: it went from thursday to Sunday....)
Now, for the VERY funny part...Isn't Blair supposed to visit the US this week? If so, does ANYONE here thinks the journos will miss on such an occasion? Both "men" are going to be BOMBARDED with questions regarding WMD...
Me think Tony sould/will bail out before the end of the year...too much dissent WITHIN labour...So either Blair gets out by himself or the british people will take care of him at the next elections...And Labours "inteligencia" will not allow it...
S.

Blair needs a home run, and it might be coming. A aussie newspaper is claiming that 2 weeks ago the US military did find WMD's and have transported the material to a place where everything can be confirmed. Also, a US senator on the intel commitee hinted at this last week.

Hello, I'm Phil, I know this is none of my business but I just found this discussion while looking for something else and I have to say was shocked at the inaccuracy of some of the information on here.
Depleted uranium (uranium 238) will not give you 3 years worth of dose in an hour. Depleted uranium is not made from nuclear waste. Depleted uranium is not a radioactive hazard.
I personally have worked in close proximity to several tonnes of uranium 238 and 235 (a fuel string for a reactor) for weeks. Throughout all that the radiation monitoring equipment we had with us registered a single micro-sievert. That's 1/100th of what you'd get on a trans-atlantic flight.
Depleted uranium is a naturally occuring metal, 99.3% of the uranium on the earth is uranium 238 (depleted uranium). It is not made out of nuclear waste, it is mined out of the ground.
Please check your facts before you go spreading information on the internet. any decent radiologist should be able to tell you information like this. if you don't know one, go ask at your local university, even a school physics department ought to be able to look it up.
