<<July 8 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush was wrong in his State of the Union Address when he said that Iraq tried to ``buy significant quantities of uranium from Africa,'' a spokesman said. >>> Considering that Saddam had on-hand tons of the stuff . where did he get it? I will assume from a different country . How do we know it was not Africa.? The odds are very great that Iraq did send agents or inquiries to Africa seeking uranium. Prove that Iraq did not do that, and you may be able to prove Bush made a mistake or was lying. The key thing is that Iraq was trying to buy Uranium. What the heck difference does it make if it was from Africa or anywhere else? To prove that Bush was lying you will have to prove that Saddam was not tying to buy uranium from anywhere, despite the fact he had already done so. Very difficult to do, impossible in fact. Even if you catch Saddam and ask him, he may lie about it. It may have been a mistake to say say Africa. Can you make a bigger or better bomb from African uranium , as compared to Russian uranium?
