OK, one last time.

As I said before, Saddam might have been trying to revive his nuke program that America had long supplied. Or he might have been trying to Niger as a cutout to smuggle in or out wheat, oil, cocaine, HP Laserjet toner cartridges, green cheese from the moon, blood of Palestinian boys for Iraqi Jews' matzah, etc. Remember, Iraq was under a harsh embargo.

And he learned it wasn't possible to do any of these, because Niger said "No." And the American public later learned that the CIA did a great job keeping tabs on Saddam.

re: why did the iraq trade mission go to niger for?

WTF cares? Iraq was a backwater, no more capable of nukes than Haiti. Bush had you believing that drones would be dropping nukes on Peoria Illinois. How stupid are you?

And you are still falling for the crap! I've seen naive but you take the (yellow)cake. Most times I see your name and just hit next... when I read your posts it makes me want to send money to the school system to help them teach people to think.
