AP: President Bush was right about Saddam Hussein's pursuit of nuclear weaponry.

Likely to drop on Israel.

A whole lotta people have e-mailed me about this today and Lucianne.com has posted links to the story and two others.

From Brian Murphy of the AP:
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. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions.

There is a happy ending. This stuff is not in the hands of terrorists, thanks to President Bush's actions for which he has been hammered by the left for 5+ years. Reported AP:
The Iraqi government sold the yellowcake to a Canadian uranium producer, Cameco Corp., in a transaction the official described as worth 'tens of millions of dollars.' A Cameco spokesman, Lyle Krahn, declined to discuss the price, but said the yellowcake will be processed at facilities in Ontario for use in energy-producing reactors.

Maybe we can buy some of that electricity since Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid refuses to allow his precious Yucca Mountain to be used to store spent nuclear rods.

Then there is this:
The yellowcake wasn't the only dangerous item removed from Tuwaitha.

Earlier this year, the military withdrew four devices for controlled radiation exposure from the former nuclear complex. The lead-enclosed irradiation units, used to decontaminate food and other items, contain elements of high radioactivity that could potentially be used in a weapon, according to the official. Their Ottawa-based manufacturer, MDS Nordion, took them back for free, the official said.

There is a reason Bush has not fought back against critics: National security. There are secrets a president cannot divulge in his lifetime. History vindicates the Harry Trumans -- and punishes the Bill Clintons. Never equate popularity with quality.

The second story, Iraqis are purging their country of al-Qaida.

This fairy tale about no al-Qaida in Iraq is almost as bad as the fairy tale about a civil war in Iraq.

They've cleared out 90% of this scum. A division is down to maybe 2 battalions.

So much for Reid's 'The war is lost.'

Oh and that Iraqi government that Reid derides? The Times of London:
Nouri al-Maliki, Iraq's prime minister, who has also led a crackdown on the Shi'ite Mahdi Army in Basra and Baghdad in recent months, claimed yesterday that his government had 'defeated' terrorism.

This third story is on the politics Democrats bet on American defeat. Now they pay the price as Democratic Sen. Barack Obama has to eat his words to get elected. His whole Judgment Over Experience line of reasoning is unwinding as logic shows that Experience Improves Judgment.
'I am not somebody -- unlike George Bush -- who is willing to ignore facts on the basis of my preconceived notions.'
Unlike George Bush? Obama is unfit to tie Bush's shoelaces.

I know not how November's election will go.

But I got the war right.

That's good enough for me and the other 30% of America who has stood by the Best President of the 21st Century -- George Bush.

OK, he's the only one in that category so far. But he will be a tough act to follow.
