RE:"I cannot conceive of a louder wakeup call than the seizure of WEAPONS GRADE Uranium yesterday, 150 miles from Iraq." Oh I can...like a nuclear device going off. Never the less, all this is like finding a needle in a haystack. So they catch one batch of weapons grade uranium in Turkey. How much has or will get through undetected? How much is already in Saddams hands? How many sympathisers have we given scholarships to and educated in US universities? We are in deep do do...and people just think it will go away if we are nice?

Re: It is inconceivable that this material was headed anywhere other than Iraq Oh yeah? The Saudi's have a lot more money than Iraq does and 19 of the 20 hijackers were Saudi Arabians. The hijackers were trained and funded by a Saudi with Kingdom of Saudi funds. The attack on New York was essentially an act of the Saudi Government (it's a Monarchy, and a member of that monarchy, with his royal funds, paid for the attack). But since most members of the Bush administration are so close to these murderers, you don't hear a peep from them about what the Saudi's did to us. Instead they rail on about Saddam Hussein, who is unquestionably one of the more vicious dirtbags on the planet, but does not seem to be nearly as close to the Al Quida attacks on America as the Saudis. You claim Iraq has given some support to the taliban and Al Quida in the past? I'm sure they did. But the taliban was trained by the CIA and supplied with arms by the US - just keep that in mind, before you start making past support of the taliban grounds for an attack. Or are you proposing we bomb langley?

You know that this story has blown up into nothingness, don't you? Turkish Police Say Seized Uranium Weighs 5 Ounces story.news.yahoo.com A Turkish police official said on Sunday the amount of uranium recently seized by officers was around 5 ounces and did not weigh 33 lbs as initially reported. . . . The IAEA also questioned the contents because the word uranium was spelled in a strange way on the container, which itself was made in West Germany, Fleming said. "We have no primary information and are trying to verify the contents of the object but it's very suspicious," she said.
