Remember all the "Bush lied about Iraq's WMD" nonsense we've heard from Democrats and their fellow-travelers? Now we see an Associated Press story, published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer online, which says a Canadian firm has purchased 550 metric tons (1,212,530 pounds) of so-called "yellowcake" uranium from the Iraqi government. The article describes the material as being important for enriching uranium to weapon-grade levels.
Pretty clearly mass murderer Saddam Hussein had a program underway to develop nuclear weapons. This also lends credibility to the story, repeated by the President, that Iraq was trying to purchase more yellowcake from the African nation of Niger. Perhaps Bush and Colin Powell weren't so far wrong when they alleged that Iraq sought WMD and would, if successful, be willing to use them.
BTW, where have I seen the name "Hussein" recently? Could it have been a presidential candidate? Nah...nobody (but a Democrat) would be that stupid.
