Isn't it refreshing when your opponent refuses to take the low road and sticks to the facts? BTW, I love you too!

The article of the uranium you cited did not have anythign new or surprising. The uranium transported by the Pentagon was stored in drums which dated from Saddam's earlier nuclear program which had been defunct for a decade. In fact, the IAEA inspectors had seen and reported on this material in 1993. See here for its official report.

Nobody (including Hans Blix) disputes that Saddam had a nuclear program that he shut down in the early 1990s. The question is whether he still had it in 2001. The fact that seals on these drums were NOT broken when transported by the Pentagon only demonstrates that he was not "working on" or "getting started" on a new program at that time.
