seized more than 33 pounds of weapons-grade uranium From what I can find, that is exactly one half of what you need to make an Atomic Bomb. It was obviously on its way to Saddam. This is real, real, serious, folks.

Reuters published this piece of news at 08:00 local, but no date of the arrest is mentioned. We are being fed news on the need to know basis only. Since it is known how porous the Iraki, Syrian and eastern Turkish borders are, how much money and strategy is involved in the acquiring of such weapons by Bagdad, that East Europeans countries have done at least two deals, and that this has probably been going on for many years; there is no reason to believe that Saddam does not already have at his disposal what his billions $ have bought for him the last twenty years. Unless the Unscom guys have searched under the seats of each Iraki taxi cab, that is... And what is good for Irak is good for Iran, and Libya, without UNscom. Be realistic, expect the worst! Or get ready for a compromise.
