U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT ADMITS -- SADDAM HUSSEIN WAS DEVELOPING NUCLEAR BOMB

U.S. State Department DeClassified Memo ^ | April 4, 2008 | Conservative Events

[Moseley]

The Prime Minister of Niger reported to the U.S. State Department in early 2002 that Iraq tried to buy uranium "yellow cake" (ore) -- a June 2003 Memo reveals.

A declassified court exhibit introduced in the 2007 trial of Scooter Libbey proved that Saddam Hussein tried to get uranium ore from Niger -- covertly and under the table.

This is clear evidence that Saddam Hussein was actively developing nuclear weapons. Iraq already had stockpiles of uranium "yellow cake" that it was not using -- but that uranium was being watched by UN inspectors. Iraq could have no reason for wanting to buy more uranium, quietly and under the table, except to circumvent UN inspectors.

Iraq was in fact working on devloping a nuclear bomb. The United States government had sound reason to believe that Saddam Hussein was developing and working to build nuclear bombs.

I don't know that I have any substantial disagreement with you. In fact, I believe that I don't.

Let me just say that, by definition, those who lie (those whom you identify as liars, or otherwise as Liberals and the MSM), know the truth as well as you and I. They simply haven't the nerve to admit it. So, I guess by 'we' I mean just about everyone. The willing and the unwilling alike.

I take it CNN, and the rest of the MSM are running retractions every 10 minutes or so? No? I haven’t seen them yet. Wonder how long until it gets reported on the nightly snewze....

Drunken Ted Kennedy, the do-nothing, playboy, silver spoon killer of Mary Jo Kopechne, should be expelled from the Senate, tried for treason, and hanged (assuming there’s a rope that can hold up that fat slob’s carcass).

it would be forced to return in 2 years to fight AQI.

“It’s not actually a new war. It is a resumption of Gulf War I given that Iraq did not comply with the terms of cease-fire. “

Problem is that most of the population of the U.S. has a memory retention of about two weeks.

Joe Wilson had a company called JCWilson Ventures, INTL.

He was on his way to Niger on ‘company business’ when he was asked by the CIA to ‘spy’ on the yellowcake ore sales.

He went on these trips ONCE during the CLINTON admin, and AGAIN during the BUSH admin.

They ‘asked’ him because he had ‘close’ contacts with the people in Niger that sold the ore.

Joe’s close contact was the President of Niger. Joe’s company is a broker for the President of Niger.

The President of Niger deals in the country’s only export, which is yellowcake ore.

Joe ‘knew’ the deal didn’t go through, because the President of Niger refused. If he had not, Joe would have been the one making the deal, because that is what his company does, and that is why he went in the first place.

The lefties in the CIA thought it was funny that the man they selected to ‘spy’ for them was also the one making money off the sales of that same item.

Did JOE make money off any ‘illegal’ sales of the ore?

We may never know.

Thanks for the ping! The article provides the full text of a memo that previously appeared in censored form in the Senate report on Iraq intelligence. It reads:

---

Former Nigerien Prime Minister Ibrahim ((MAYAKI)), who was Niger’s Foreign Minister from 1996-1997 and Niger’s Prime Minister from 1997-1999 and who has maintained close ties to the current Nigerien Government, stated he was unaware of any contracts being signed between Niger and rogue states for the sale of yellowcake during his tenure as both Foreign Minister and Prime Minister, MAYAKI, HOWEVER, DID RELATE THAT IN JUNE 1999 BARKA ((TEFRIDJ)), A NIGERIEN/ALGERIAN BUSINESSMAN, APPROACHED HIM AND INSISTED THAT MAYAKI MEET WITH AN IRAQI DELEGATION TO DISCUSS “EXPANDING COMMERCIAL RELATIONS” BETWEEN NIGER AND IRAQ. ALTHOUGH THE MEETING TOOK PLACE, MAYAKI LET THE MATTER DROP DUE TO THE UNITED NATIONS (UN) SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAQ AND THE FACT THAT HE OPPOSED DOING BUSINESS WITH IRAQ. MAYAKI SAID THAT HE INTERPRETED THE PHRASE “EXPANDING COMMERCIAL RELATIONS” TO MEAN THAT IRAQ WANTED TO DISCUSS URANIUM YELLOWCAKE SALES. MAYAKI SAID HE UNDERSTOOD ROGUE STATES WOULD LIKE TO EXPLOIT NIGER’S RESOURCES, SPECIFICALLY URANIUM, but he believed that the Nigerien Government’s regard for the United States (U.S.) as a close ally would prevent sales to these states from taking place despite Niger’s economic woes.
