Here we go again. This yellowcake was identified and sequestered by inspectors after the first Gulf War. The storage containers date from 1992 and Saddam did not disturb them after that, even after the inspectors left. Not even at the height of the WMD hysteria did Bush think the issue even worth mentioning.

As the Iraq study group concluded, no effort was made by Saddam after 1991 to restart the nuclear program.

In other words, the existence of this yellowcake did not constitute ANY evidence that Saddam had a nuclear program at the time of Gulf War II. The buried 1992 drums were not disturbed. Again, Hans Blix was right but his critics lack the grace and humility to admit it.

Here is a pretty good back and forth discussion on this non-issue.

Weapons Inspector: Saddam is Addicted to WMD's (1999)

Sure you can believe the Iraq Study Group on Saddam’s intentions. Uh huh. The very fact that they a) existed in Iraq; that b) no one could PREVENT him from accessing them at any point means that c) he “had” them and “had” WMDs any time he needed them.

From your link:

Bush's invasion was the act of a criminally negligent imbecile...

And folks say your boy Ron Paul and his followers are the same as the anti war lefty kooks...

I just can't see how they come to that conclusion...

The UN Inspectors were a multinational joke. Read Saddam's Secrets by Georges Sada and get the inside story. There were over 50 flights of yellow cake to Syria under the guise of Humanitarian aid. Saddam's sons took convoys of weapons and supplies to Syria under the nose of UN inspectors also.
