What Mr Baredi fails to point out is that using rare, expensive, aluminum tubes also make no sense for rockets, as almost any type of metal can be fabricated for the skin of rockets. And most rockets are very thin skinned, with just enough strength to keep the rocket together, not these types of heavy rare aluminum tubes. Why order a tube which has to be machined afterwards to separate uranium; because Iraq was trying to go around the sanctions, and when caught, simply converted them for use in rockets, so they had an alibi. McCarthyism at its worst. If I was accused and convicted on such extrapolations, I would think I am living in 1935 Germany. Al
