I don't understand. He can make this claim, disappear without replying to any comments, and we're supposed to disprove his comment?
I think you have it backwards.

I don't mean on the thread. I mean generally. The yellowcake in question was in barrels that were marked, sealed, and tagged by the U.N. Some of the barrles were emptied, and used to collect rainwater by the locals after the war, and there could be some sort of debate over how long they'd been empty of how much. Also, he could theoretically have had entirely different yellowcake elsewhere, but this was part of the inventoried assemblage. No one has argued that he was adding to the supplies in this U.N. monitored facility.
He doesn’t have to back up the claim. He’s admitting to a damaging fact: thousands of tons of enriched uranium were left in Saddam Hussein’s possession with nothing but a bungling, corrupt and incompetent inspection team standing in the way of his using them.
Saddam was not disarmed. Plain and simple.
