Let them eat Yellowcake

I had posted about Saddam's little yellow-cake stash earlier here: Saddam's Nuclear Program Christopher Merola has a nice article at Town Hall:

Have Your Yellowcake and Eat It Too
On July 5, 2008, the Associated Press (AP) released a story titled: Secret U.S. mission hauls uranium from Iraq. The opening paragraph is as follows:

The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein�s nuclear program � a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium � reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.

See anything wrong with this picture? We have been hearing from the far-left for more than five years how, �Bush lied.� Somehow, that slogan loses its credibility now that 550 metric tons of Saddam�s yellowcake, used for nuclear weapon enrichment, has been discovered and shipped to Canada for its new use as nuclear energy.

It appears that American troops found the 550 metric tons of uranium in 2003 after invading Iraq. They had to sit on this information and the uranium itself, for fear of terrorists attempting to steal it. It was guarded and kept safe by our military in a 23,000-acre site with large sand beams surrounding the site.

This is vindication for the Bush administration, having been attacked mercilessly by the liberal media and the far-left pundits on the blogosphere. Now that it is proven that President Bush did not lie about Saddam�s nuclear ambitions, one would think the mainstream media would report the story? Once the AP released the story, the mainstream media should have picked it up and broadcast it worldwide.

And why the mainstream media is strangely quiet is covered in the rest of this wonderful article. And, Joe Wilson to the courtesy phone; paging Mr. Joe Wilson or Ms. Valerie Plame to the white courtesy phone please. Bush lied indeed... Posted by DaveH at July 12, 2008 8:32 PM
