#1 have been smuggled out of Iraq

So much for the 'Where are the WMD's?' argument.

ElBaradei did not identify the European countries where the materials were discovered.

My guess - Phwrance & Germany.

#2 How are they going to deny this? Every chemical weapons find was passed off as "insecticide". All bio stuff has been passed of as "pharmaceutical research". Now this? What are they going to say now? Waste from a cancer hospital radiation treatments? These rumors are getting tiresome, to be turned into "Dual Purpose". Dual purpose my a**!!!!! Let us have someone have the balls to say, "Geez- This is really from Saddam's A-Bomb research."

#5 Evidence of WMD? What are you guys smoking? The article states that this is equipment from former nuclear sites that we knew about.

"It is not clear whether the removal of these items has been the result of looting activities in the aftermath of the recent war in Iraq, or as part of systematic efforts" to clean up contaminated nuclear sites in Iraq, ElBaradei wrote.

Geez, talk about grasping at straws....

#7 It is not clear whether the removal of these items has been the result of looting activities in the aftermath of the recent war in Iraq, or as part of systematic efforts to clean up contaminated nuclear sites in Iraq"

Other Mike S. - I have never smoked...

But, It is not clear. . ., seems a clear ballet by ElBaradei

#8 Hey, Cap, READ THE ARTICLE! It talks about how this material was from the nuke the Israelis bombed in 1981.

...from sites that had been subject to U.N. monitoring before the U.S.-led war against Iraq.

Of course there were WMD in Iraq. Just not when Bush 43 went on his fishing expedition.

#9 The other Mike S-
Seems to me capt joe is talking about:

including debris from the Osirak reactor
and other sites monitored by the IAEA

Besides - AlBaradei said they cleaned up a lot of stuff.
Where did ther uranium oxide come from? and What is this : The search turned up missile engines and vessels used in fermentation processes that were subject to U.N. monitoring.

Where'd they come from?

Remember : the inspectors were handcuffed and spied on by Saddam. And those monitoring efforts have been reportedly undermined by the French who were building the original reactor when the Israleis did their own remodeling of it in 1981.

#10 Nine comments and no one has made a crack about Iraqi nuke debris from Osirak being found in scrap metal purchased by JEWOMETAAL.

You folks are slipping. Sheesh!

#12 Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the yellow cake discovered in Europe originally from Iraq no big deal and disappeared down the IAEA black hole?

#13 "Jewometaal," yuk yuk yuk.

Sorry, as convincing as this evidence is, i can't believe it -- why hasn't our government come out about it? aren't they all knowing and all powerful? they knew he had WMD's beforehand, anyway. why even bother with all this post-war nonsense? we all knew that john kerry and the rest of the DNC hid the WMD's to make bush look dumn.

that's my story and i'm sticking to it.

#14 Like the enemy body count that was, ultimately used agaist us, perhaps the administration has learned not to say anything that can be challenged or misinterpreted.

#15 Anybody who says that Iraq NEVER had WMDs has lost touch with reality. Have we forgottten, or did you never know about the thousands of dead Iraqis killed by Suddam Hussein with chemical weapons during the 80s and 90s? he used the things against his own damn people! There are pictures of this, this is recorded fact! And now because we don't find any that haven't been used yet, people actually defend this psycho?! How long did he have to hide this stuff because some countries were too pussy to go in and do anything about it?! It's like the friggin police calling a crack-house 2 months before a raid letting them know they want to check things out! Of course it's no going to be there!

#16 When Israel bombed the Osirak, it was still under construction..i don't even think they got any superstructure, just the foundation. Certainly there wouldn't have been any radioactives anywhere near.

Possible BS?
