It seems clear that, in fact, Saddam did try to buy uranium from Niger. Right, it's so darn clear that you haven't been able to answer the simple question: What quantity was Bush referring to in his State of the Union address? Tom

So, there really isn't any doubt about the facts: Iraq tried to buy uranium in Africa, but didn't succeed. For the Times to pretend that the fact that it would have been difficult for Iraq to successfully obtain uranium from Niger contradicts the fact that it nevertheless tried, is ridiculous. And just about anyone should be able to understand that the fact that Saddam tried to obtain uranium, albeit unsuccessfully, was itself of great importance, since it indicated an intention to re-start his nuclear weapons program. Hmmmmm......Saddam tried to by uranium from Niger but was refused. Niger is one of the poorest nations in the world and is desperate for outside currency but refused Saddam on the basis of what principle? Please......consult your pundits and give me your answer. Inquiring minds want to know, o wise one.
