Correct... 'no WMD'

Because "yellowcake" (concentrated natural uranium) is not a 'weapon of mass destruction'.

As a mater of fact, this 550 metric ton Iraqi cache of yellowcake is absolutely no secret to ANYONE --- as it has been declared on every UN inventory (Non-Proliferation Agency, etc.) since the late 1980s when it was purchased by Saddam.

These casks were also tagged and inventoried by UN and US inspectors after Desert Storm.

(And, later on after the turn of the new century, this well-know fact that Iraq already had 550 TONS of yellowcake --- and no way to put it to use, it's reactor having long since been eliminated by the Israelis 20+ years ago, and the yellowcake put under UN seal after Saddam's Desert Storm defeat --- was also widely given as a reason to debunk the phony allegations of 'African purchases', since '550 tons' was more then plenty. :-)
