Anyway why did it take um.... 5 years to finally shift the material? With all the DU “extreme delivery efforts” that went on the Iraqis can certainly produce another few barrels of yellowcake.

Yeah and these people will also continue to miss the real question which was "Was he a threat?" Nevermind the fact that you just can't make accusations towards sovereign governmments without any proof whatsoever. “Aha we told you so!” Yeah and these people will also continue to miss the real question which was “Was he a threat?” Nevermind the fact that you just can’t make accusations towards sovereign governmments without any proof whatsoever.

(Probably on antiwar.com) Back then, the point that was completely being ignored by the mainstream media was: Why would the Iraqi government bother to buy yellowcake from Niger when they already had it? Of course, now that the fact can be spun differently... I remember reading about the yellowcake already in Iraq at the time the Niger forgeries were getting so much attention.

Why the continuing use of burning coal and accepting its pollution when the means to extract cleaner energy by processing it for nuclear means? You have to aks your politcal leaders and their partners the coal mining industry.

If anyone takes the trouble to follow link you would see mention of it being a prcess of breaking down the ore into a more concewntrated form and nothing more. Radioactive yes, but in only very concentrated amounts, such as using unclean old storage barrels to store drnking water and most of the danger being only long term usage. Much made of it in reference to Iraq and even in Iran but it takes the centrfuges just to make it capable of energy use and tonnes to make it inot one weapons grade low yield weapon.Many countrys have concentrated weapons grade and yellow cake raw material sotckpiled from just their nuke plants; countries such as Uk, France and Japan.
