Where do you get your facts? Considering that Saddam had on-hand tons of the stuff .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 This is an illogical argument: 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 To prove I have stopped beating my wife you have to prove that I did beat my wife and since the bones and bruises have healed this is very difficult. THe fact is that pResident Bush has admitted to placing bogus, falsified, discredited, known fabrications into his Mistate of the Union Address. THis is a FACT. THe overall charge of lying, fraud, deceit needs an independent bipartisan review of other facts which can be put into evidence.

Hi Sig; Re: "Considering that Saddam had on-hand tons of the stuff [i.e. uranium]. where did he get it?" Uranium is easy to get. Here, buy some for yourself from eBay: cgi.ebay.com Iraq is a wonderfully mountainous country and I have no doubt that uranium is found there naturally, though it may not be of sufficiently high grade to be mined at competitive prices. The drums were well known to the world community: ... The drums came from a fenced site set up by inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency in 1991 to store radioactive material that could not be used for nuclear weapons. The site is about a kilometer from the main Tuwaitha complex, which was the focus of multiple U.N. weapons inspections before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March. ... edition.cnn.com -- Carl
