In 1991 Saddam had some unconventional weapons to threaten his neighbors. Inspections and sanctions destroyed his ability to keep or rebuild these weapons. If the issue is WMD, the rest of the world was right -- there was no threat from Iraq. The fact that there was nothing to even use as an excuse has come as an embarrassment to the White House -- that is the risk you take when you build your case on pure bullshit.

Nowhere do I see the words "Nigerian yellow cake" in the 16 word statement above. All I see is a statement that says the British government learned that SH sought uranium from Africa. A statement that British intelligence stands by even today. I don't find that too hard to believe. In fact he probably sought uranium from several sources hoping he would eventually score. M
