U.S. State Department Memo Confirms: Saddam Hussein 'Was' Developing Nuclear Bomb

MEDIA ADVISORY, April 25 /Christian Newswire/ -- The trial of Scooter Libbey proved one thing: Bush and Cheney were right -- along with Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, John Kerry, and every other Democrat and responsible world leader.

Saddam Hussein WAS indeed actively working to develop and build a nuclear bomb, and posed a threat of a nuclear holocaust against American famlies. An internal memo from the U.S. State Department was declassified at the insistence of Scooter Libbey's defense attorneys (against Foggy Bottom's wishes). The memo has been posted by the ASSOCIATED PRESS at --

http://wid.ap.org/documents/libbytrial/jan23/DX71.pdf

And the memo is fully explained at:

http://www.ConservativeEvents.com/SaddamsNukes.html

Although the State Department in the memo tries to downplay the risk, THE BOTTOM OF PAGE 8 AND TOP OF PAGE 9 LET SLIP the truth that Saddam Hussein was seeking uranium yellowcake -- which was clearly for development of a nuclear bomb.

So, what did we find when the curtain of anti-Bush propaganda was pulled back? The anti-war, anti-Bush U.S. State Department Department has known all along that Saddam Hussein tried to buy uranium ore (yellowcake) from the impoverished African nation of Niger.

The June 2003 Memo reveals that THEN Prime Minister of NIGER, Ibrahim Mayaki, reported to the U.S. State Department in early 2002 that Iraq tried to buy uranium "yellow cake" (ore). This information confirmed other reports such as those by "Saddam's Bomb Maker" Khidhir Hamza.

And yet Iraq already had stockpiles of uranium yellowcake... being watched by the United Nations. Iraq had no reason to buy MORE uranium... yet Iraq used scarce funds to try to buy even more -- covertly.

Therefore, Condoleeza Rice, George Bush, Dick Cheney, and everyone else had solid reasons to believe that Iraq posed a serious nuclear threat to the United States.

Following the philosophy "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," Saddam Hussein would surely have handed a functioning nuclear bomb to terrorist groups able to smuggle a nuclear warhead across America's Mexican border, and kill millions of people in a U.S. city.

Niger emphatically refused to sell Iraq the uranium. Later, forged documents emerged purporting to show that Niger agreed, even offering a forged contract. Those documents are absolutely false. NIGER NEVER AGREED.

BUT SADDAM HUSSEIN DID TRY. Saddam tried to get uranium, under the table, outside the awareness of the UN and the IAEA.

It's not much of an exaggeration to say that Nigeria has three main things available for export: sand, migrant workers and yellowcake. The idea an Iraqi “trade delegation” went there for anything but yellowcake is absurd.

“Bush lied” bump

I wished they declassified Wilson’s closed door Senate testimony for the trial. They still should,

[icwhatudo]

After all that “16 words” crap....BUSH WAS RIGHT.

[Vigilanteman]

Does this mean that Valarie Plame and Joe Wilson lied to us? And the State Department actually told the truth for a change?

Yup. The “Death to America” crowd in the American media tried to make Yellow Cake a joke — but Saddam was pure evil and this was no joke.

Niger.

Thanks for the "we already knew this, but the stupid Enemedia refused to admit it" ping!

Good News! Now, charge that treasonous b-turd Joe "I'm a lying scum of the earth" Wilson and his stupid b---h wife and throw them in prison.

[Mr. Peabody]

Well, why didn’t W bring this up during the whole state of the nation speech brouhaha?

Thanks for the ping, Ma.

Being that Justa kinda covered all the bases inre to joe and his b-—h wife I’ll just add a “DITTO”. ;-)

LOL! Beat you by a minute. Different version tho.

"It's not much of an exaggeration to say that Nigeria has three main things available for export: sand, migrant workers and yellowcake. The idea an Iraqi “trade delegation” went there for anything but yellowcake is absurd."

We're talking about Niger, not Nigeria (names are close, but they're different countries). I understand that Niger also has lots of goats and lots of chickpeas (really) so maybe Saddam had his eye on some sexy goats to be fed on a diet of chickpeas..... in reality, though, no rational person can doubt that the approach to Niger was about uranium. That leaves bloviating Joe Wilson as most obviously NOT a rational (or honest) person.

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks! I didn’t see your reply before my last post to you. ;*)

BUMP for The Right Brothers!

I’ll just add .....

Slacker!

I love that song! If you noticed the backdrop during the close up of them playing their guitars, that was the huge hand made flag we used at the Support the Troops and Their Mission Rally in 2005, where the Right Brothers performed this song live!

That video is great, I’ve seen it before and have it filed away. Thanks for the background on it, I didn’t realize that.

[Just A Nobody]

Thanks for the background on it, I didn’t realize that.

There is much more to it, but I can't remember it all.
I think children, maybe of deployed soldiers, made and decorated the squares and they were then sewn together to make a giant 30 foot flag. IIRC, they made this at Fort Benning.

Calling backup for help on the Huge Flag.

BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH!

[Rome2000]

Has the leftist propaganda campaign been so successful?

Coupled with the lack of interest by Bush and Co., not surprising.

[HereInTheHeartland]

I like your version better.
Those images really remind me of why Bush's place in history will be a good one.

[Rome2000]

Well, why didn’t W bring this up during the whole state of the nation speech brouhaha?

Wouldn't be prudent?

Bush and OIL don't mix iuf the salad is US interests.

[rmlew]

Bush has no more desire to fight, except maybe to screw conservatives on immigration or create Hamastan out of more of Israel.

[Wuli]

my guess all along has been that rogue u.s. intelligence agents/staff/operatives knew/participated in/acquiesced in the production of the phony documents, and getting them into the “intelligence stream”, working with peers in other nation’s intelligence services and did so, intentionally, NOT to provide proof of the factual knowledge of Saddam’s ATTEMPTS, but to discredit THAT TRUTH by presenting a lie and then presenting that lie, falsely, as part of our claim

[BerryDingle]

You can't get dumber than these two.

[TigersEye]

The AP is reporting this? I’m amazed.

[Just A Nobody]

Agreed! In spite of the BDS here on FR.

No, but you gotta admit...they sure received their 15 minutes of fame and millions of dollars as they betrayed their country!

[Fedora]

Thanks for the ping!

[Moseley]

Remember that the State Department did not know that the memo was ever going to be publicly released.

[Moseley]

Because Bush is incompetent when it comes to ANY public relations on ANY topic....

[purpleraine]

Wasn’t it a couple of years ago that it was released that many of Saddam’s generals thought he was developing or planning to develop WMDs. That was good enough for me. Now this; icing on the cake, yellow that is.

[Moseley]

BRAVO! Icing on the yellowcake... that deserves a hearty well done!

[purpleraine]

Thanx! Slices all around.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Since one “Fireside Chat” style press conference from Bush would years ago have dispelled this issue completely and made the Democrats look like morons into the bargain, I can only presume the Administration has chosen to take the huge public relations hit to themselves and the entire Republican Party in order to protect some other interests.
