I thought the CIA said procuring this type of material from Africa was an absolute untrustworthy intel. Obviously this is a bit old and obviously it probably came from outside of Iraq from somewhere. What do the Plumes have to say about it?

So where did the Iraqi's get the last batch from? I want to know who would sell Iraq this stuff, so we can keep an eye on them as supporters of terrorism.

It wouldn't suprise me if we sold it to them in the late 80's (when they aquired the stuff). Of course, they were our "friend" at the time (because of Iran)....but who knows. There are a few people in this thread that are trying to use this as the smoking gun for WMD's (not you pisabird) when they know full well this is not and was not the smoking gun for WMD's in Iraq. Oh, the eternal race for justification..........

"Unless one can show that Bush was told there was no yellow cake and then goes and states there is yellow cake, you have incomptentence in the fact that Bush was prevented by being told there was no yellow cake...If you read the book Collusion, it's easy to see that the Yellowcake Memo was *known* prior to the speech, to be false."

"Yellowcake was a farce, Bush mis-attributed the "intelligence" to the US when in fact it was UK. We didn't corroborate it but took it as sworn word from a known liar. We cherry picked."

the reference to yellowcake from niger was removed BEFORE the state of the union from at least one other speech by the CIA. The damn thing was considered false at the time of the speech. There is no argument to be made on that point. And nothing from Wilson's trip "confirmed" the yellowcake rumor, that's another red herring some people keep throwing up."

"Wilson was right about yellowcake...No need to keep ranting and raving, the conservative line on this topic is false on all points. "

How much more do you want?

Ahh yes, the Yellowcake scandal.

Everybody knew Iraq had Yellowcake, the UN monitored it while it sat in a warehouse for decades. BFD?

No, what Bushy boy tried to claim was that Iraq approached Nigeria in 2001 to get *MORE* yellowcake, outside of the UN's oversight. Nigeria is one of the world's primary producers of yellowcake.

What was funny about the situation is that the situation was an outright fabrication, created by an Italian swindler to peddle influence in Europe. Anybody who looked at the yellowcake memo from the Italians would know that it was a blatant fake.

The fact of the matter is that the "swindler" (Who had been arrested many times, once for robbing a bank) had a girlfriend who broke into the Nigerian consulate, stole a memo, a stamp, and some paper, to create a forgery. The original base for the yellowcake memo was nothing more than an Iraqi ambassador's visit to negotiate a renewal of an Iraqi/Nigerian agreement to allow Iraq to dump garbage in Nigeria.

They used this base memo to create a ridiculous forgery rife with problems. Such as the referral to the incorrect ambassador, constitution, president, laws, and other situations. All of these inconsistancies were spotted by the Italian, French, and British services.

However, the CIA seized on the opportunity. They used "cross checking" with other agencies, all who said it was false, yet ignored that. They then brought it to one of the primary intelligence analysts in the US. He shot it down, said it was crap.

what did the CIA do? They said he was full of crap and essentially circumvented and ostracized him.

Bush, despite his underlings *KNOWING* it was crap and most likely, himself knowing it was crap, presented it as factual information.

That's all of the information.

mmmkay

What's so difficult? Somebody made up a bullshit memo, everybody in the world knew it was bullshit. Yet, somehow, the CIA passed it off as fact and our idiot president did the same.


This is all laid out in the book Collusion.

Should also add that this was not the African yellowcake that Dubbya used as partial justification to invade Iraq.

Y'know... just to be clear.

I make one little joke and everyone goes nut, sad.

ProfJohn, I don't particularly like your politics very much, but I knew you were joking. Though sometimes I actually hope you're joking when you're not.

Because I was under the impression Iraq didnt have any yellowcake *shrug*

It's been known about and safeguarded for nearly 20 years.

How much more do you want?

Please get your head examined. You are acting like a child that is trying to prove something with something totally unrelated.

The whole WMD argument is false, everyone knows it, but you want to believe it. Believe what you want to believe, but please dont post anything that has absolutely no logic and filled with your drivel.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!

Sirusly to the OP one thing you forget to mention it's NATURAL low grade crap that they sold to Canada ... Shit I wonder who profited from that?

What does Natural mean? It was not enriched and they just dug it up out of the earth it was already there to begin with.

Shit, I would think there is a lot more where that came from. One wouldn't have to look very hard for that.

A little song

All that for the pun:

I sing on the cake.
