BUT BUT BUT VAl and Joe says that Bush made it all up.
..... U.S. forces in Iraq seized 1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium .......
As I recall there were several sites with enriched uranium in Iraq that were warehoused under the IAEA seal. It was also assumed that there was similar material present but not under seal.
The material in question could be known material present under seal.
In my mind the other material was shipped to Libya where Saddam contracted his nuclear development. It was foolish to take the UN heat and expense when the necessary work could be subcontracted to Libya with inspection and supervision by his own people..

I hate it when people don't give links to original material,
but instead link to or give opinion.
From DOE:

Low grade Uranium, not weapons grade.
Personally, I think that the discovery
of a Nuke program in Libya is enough to justify Iraq.
