| BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. Marines may have found weapons-grade plutonium in a massive underground facility discovered beneath Iraq's Al Tuwaitha nuclear complex, Fox News confirmed Friday. You don't say. Jack...Jerry...anti-sanity left? - any comments? Coalition forces are investigating a stash of radioactive material found at the site south of Baghdad, an embedded reporter, Carl Prine of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, first told Fox News on Thursday. U.S. defense officials on Friday confirmed that preliminary field tests did in fact indicate the material could be plutonium. Now would be a good time for the uber-left to simply disband and try on their new Whigs |

| #3 No, no, no. The US Military is stoopid. They took off the UN seals. The UN has known all about this for years! Nothing to see here, move along. |

| #1 Not all plutonium is A bomb grade. Some isotopes are unsuitable for building a good A-bomb. Also if the plutonium is entrained with other material (thorium, radium, etc.) it won't make a good A-bomb. However, any plutonium could be the basis of an effective radiological dispersion device. |
