WMD Material That Hussein Never Had is Removed From Iraq

Posted by Doug Powers On July - 6 - 2008

The last of the WMD materials that Saddam Hussein never had has been taken out of Iraq:

The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program - a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium - reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.

The removal of 550 metric tons of “yellowcake” - the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment - was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam’s nuclear legacy.

Those who will argue that yellowcake does not equate to a WMD won’t mind then if we bury this stuff in their back yards, will they?
