No, I'm talking about the *non-existent" yellow cake from Niger. *The 500
tons you are referring to, predates the 1991 Gulf War. *You do, of
course, remember the 1981 Israel bombing of the Tuwaitha nuclear
facility, back when Saddam *did* have *a nuclear program. That is the
yellow cake you are referring to and it had been cataloged and under
control of UN inspectors since shortly after the 1991 Gulf War. *

But keep trying, sometime, somewhere, you may find a small bit of truth
in Bush's buildup for war. *Then weigh the cost, 500 tons of yellow cake,
4000 young American lives, 500 tons of yellow cake, $500 billion. *Of
course, $500 billion isn't worth what it was before the present
administration.


On the world news last night they had a piece about Iraq not spending
their surpluses on rebuilding. Largely because their thought is that
the U.S. blew it up, the U.S. should fix it:
