Residue hardly qualifies for WMD
Nuclear material has peaceful uses too. Ever heard of all the medical applications?

Well, a day later, it has been revealed that the UN had already visited the site and had in fact sealed the premises. The US troops broke the UN seals to get there.

"But an expert familiar with U.N. nuclear inspections told The Associated Press that it
was implausible to believe that U.S. forces had uncovered anything new at the site.
Instead, the official said, the Marines apparently broke U.N. seals designed to ensure
the materials aren't diverted for weapons use or end up in the wrong hands.

''What happened apparently was that they broke IAEA seals, which is very
unfortunate because those seals are integral to ensuring that nuclear material doesn't
get diverted,'' "

So, Fox News' 11th attempt at proving the WMD case runs aground. No problem. Let's move on to the next fabrication.
