Bush Lied, People - Oh, Wait…
Written by YellowJacket on July 8th, 2008From Investor’s Business Daily:
It’s a little known fact that, after invading Iraq in 2003, the U.S. found massive amounts of uranium yellowcake, the stuff that can be refined into nuclear weapons or nuclear fuel, at a facility in Tuwaitha outside of Baghdad.
In recent weeks, the U.S. secretly has helped the Iraqi government ship it all to Canada, where it was bought by a Canadian company for further processing into nuclear fuel — thus keeping it from potential use by terrorists or unsavory regimes in the region.
This has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media. Yet, as the AP reported, this marks a “significant step toward closing the books on Saddam’s nuclear legacy.”
Seems to us this should be big news.
550 metric tons of the stuff was found, and is now being shipped to Canada… 550 metric tons, mind you, not just a few spent shells with residue in them. The article points out that with 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium, Saddam could have made 142 nuclear weapons.

Thank You for posting this!!!!
I saw this on Drudge Report briefly but seriously, the fact that the media isn’t reporting on this whatsoever is ridiculous.
I would also blame The White House who should be announcing this LOUD AND CLEAR so people are aware of the threat that was removed.
It’s funny cause now if I were to bring this up in a debate with friends about Iraq everyone would just look at me and say “you’re an idiot!!” because no one will have ever heard about it….
