550 metric tons of Uranium removed from Iraq
« on: October 20, 2008, 02:54:50 AM »
The US discovered and has removed 550 metric tons of Uranium from Iraq. It was kept secret so they could guard and remove it.

Here is one source MSNBC (not exactly a right wing news organization)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25546334/

For those who keep spouting the "Bush lied" slogan - stick it!

I found out a couple months ago about this large stash of yellow cake....

I could not understand why it was not reported on more...all I can figure is after the media made such a big deal of how there was nothing there,  and how Iraq trying to obtain yellow cake was a big lie, they just don't want to do much reporting on it. 
If you ask anyone about this 550 tons of crap over there that was on the "NO WMD" band wagon, they
just say....oh, we all knew about that,  that's no WMD.  I don't think we sould have made Iraq the fighting grounds myself, regarldless of all this,  but I sure ain't liking the media and how they report.

The only comment I heard on this was on Fox...Bill O'  said..."hey that wasn't supposed to be there was it?"
....have not heard much else.

The national news media is not capable of being fair, balanced, or impartial. If it doesn't meet their liberal agenda it is slanted and changed until it does or is just ignored altogether.

Main stream media wouldn't want to give GW anymore credit than they absolutly had to. Kinda like the hard evidence they found a few years ago, tying S.Hussein in with Bin Laden. That got buried real quick.  gypsyman

The dumcrap controlled, left wing media pretty well controlls the news we are allowed to see and read. There was much more than this. There were satellite pics of long convoys of russian trucks going into syria. No doubt in my mind that syria has an extremely large cache of weapons compliments of saddam. The dumcraps even knew it, and said so, now they deny it. POWDERMAN.  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Any idea if this was Uranium ore, or "yellowcake"?? I have read once that it takes about 1000 tons of Uranium Ore to make enough yellowcake to "fill a cigar box", and that once that yellowcake is refined to weapaons-grade material, that amount will fit under a fingernail. It then takes about 70 pounds of weapons-grade to make a nuke.
Any idea of if this is accurate??

There was always WMD of some sorts there...as I remember it, the UN outlawed scud missiles...Iraq had lots of those, the gas you mentioned as well...and of course the yellow cake.  "not feasible for use in weapons, power plants"....but yet this 550 tons went to Canada for use in their power plants.  Guess they will make it work for them easy enough. 
Bottom line is...regardless if we agree on if we should have made Iraq the fighting grounds...WMD was always there, the UN resolutions were broken many times,  and the UN voted to do something about it as well, although they are worthless and just stir the pot more than help anything.   Far as I'm concerned the United Nations should not be allowed to ever pass another resolution until they all say what they are going to do when they DO pass one.  By the way, they have been passing resolutions against Iran as well, in case nobody is keeping up on that....they are still stirring the pot with no intentions of backing anything up.  I would suppose the very same deal will happen with Iran that happened with Iraq.  Nice job UN.  Thanks for being there. 

And no...the media will not want too much of this WMD thing getting out now,  the big news was already reported many times...NO WMD....who is going to report this now?
