Hi KLP; Re: "More proof...Niger, uranium, chickpeas, Wilson, CIA, State Dept and Clinton: ... Large deposits of uranium are located in northern Niger and still, it counts for about three quarters of export earnings. ..." Your original implication was not that uranium accounted for a large percentage of export earnings, but instead that uranium accounted for a large percentage of GDP. Here's your quote: KLP, August 6, 2003 What is 65% of Niger's GDP* from....? It's not chick peas.* #reply-19182652 The simple fact is that uranium production, while a large fraction of Niger's exports, is nevertheless a very very small percentage of Niger's GDP. Chick peas make up considerably more of their GDP. -- Carl
