#2 There you go all you skeptics, drive-by media types, liberals, communists, and other treasonous groups/individuals...proof there were WMDs.
The thing that puzzles me is the emphasis the media and uninformed put on the WMD issue, when President Bush made it clear in the UN speech that preceded the Iraq invasion that WMDs wasn't the number one reason for the offensive. It wasn't second or third, either.
At any rate, here we have confirmation of the existence of WMDs and where there's one, there are bound to be others.

#3 This looks like a rehash of the same story about the GWI discovery.

#4 Where did it come from, if not Niger? Doesn't uranium have a "fingerprint" identifying the source? The UN claimed it had destroyed the nuclear program following Desert Storm but we now know how they all had a piece of the sanction pie and reluctant to cut the cash flow. It would be most interesting to see just who the supplier was. Maybe Libya got caught with the enrichment tubes intended for Iraq's eventual use?

#5 The uranium was to be used to in the Osirak reactor and turned into plutonium. That type of reactor is not for power production but very suited for plutonium production due to its very high neutron flux. That's no even taking into account the bomb grade uranium that would fueled the Osirak reactor.
