I'm not a nuclear scientist, of which we have many, working in labs like Oak Ridge in Tennessee FOR THE GOVERNMENT. There, they were mocking the ridiculous statements that Powell gave to the UN (and has since admitted his anger at being duped) regarding the use of those tubes as they were:

1. the wrong SIZE
2. had the wrong coating

In order to be useful for centrifuges, they would have had to be milled to the right diamater and have their coating carefully removed.

They were missile tubes which SH had a right to have.

Do you know that?

Didn't think so.

All anyone had to do was, as a matter of course, have them vetted (shade of Newsweek!) by an expert (oh yeah, Newsweek did have vetting by an expert LOL) of which the government has many on the payroll.

Why didn't they do it? Because that didn't play into the lie-to-America-about-WMDs bs.

Traitors.
