Canada is already reprocessing it for peaceful purposes, so I'm not worriedat all.
WRT Iraq's nuclear program, I'd say that was "dead in the water"...
1) as long as Iraq has oil ten-years out...
2) until Iran's nukes are destroyed.
"...All that uranium (buried in barrels) dated from before 1991, not from Saddam's mythical nuclear program of the early 2000s..."
Uranium doesn't wear out. Saddam's friends would omit saying the 500 TONS of Uranium would be in Iran's hands right now. (Like Saddam's jet fighters).
P.S.: I read the article, and am not concerned.

What are you talking about? Are you arguing that the U.S. installed pro-Iran Shi'ite government in Iraq would have given the uranimum to Iran? Saddam and the Iranians hated each other. In fact, it was Khomeini, not Bush, who was the first person to call for regime change in Baghdad.
