Subject: RE: BS: No uranium in Iraq?
It's no secret that the US under Reagan attempted to arm Iraq as a deterrent to Iran and offered Sadam many of the materials that were eventually either destroyed as Hans Blix
and Scott Ritter said they were or may have been shipped to another country.

To say that even in his wildest dreams Sadam could have produced any meaningful
Weapons of Mass Destruction is absurd. He may have had a plan but to implement it
would have taken more for which he would have been capable.

All this "Yellowcake" propaganda by the Newscorp and publicity-hungry newscasters
and pseudo-journalists can be discounted as "sound and fury signifying nothing".

The uranium in Iraq was the depleted uranium that the US used in their bombing of
innocent Iraqis who are still suffering the effects of that DU through cancer and other diseases.
