“I guess the tons of Yellowcake uranium that was found in iraq in July 2008 was made up too. you know, the same dangerous substance that CIA desk jockey Valerie PLAIME Wilson said was never there”
Joe wilson said no such thing. He investigated an alleged plan to buy yellowcake from nigeria. The weapons inspectors already knew about the stuff that hussein had. Here’s why it matters – yellowcake is a pretty harmless mineral. You can’t use it to hurt someone unless you throw it at them. It’s not a weapon unless you enrich it – which is HARD. The inspectors had their eyes on the material and resources hussein had, therefore he wouldn’t have been able to enrich it without them knowing. The suggestion that he was clandestinely buying more strongly implied a new purpose – which the inspectors had declared to be impossible (i.e. hans blix correctly claimed that iraq’s nuclear program had been dismantled). Buying yellow cake was, therefore, a really big deal. The yellowcake he had was not such a big deal (although it was something that could be useful to somebody else, hence the disposal).
“It was transported to Canada and only modestly reported by CNN”
It was reported or it wasn’t. If the report didn’t set the news world alight, then I can only assume they had a clue.
That substance is WMD and eventually would’ve turned into nuclear weapons if Saddam had his way”
But saddam was not going to have his way. That’s kind of important – you can claim anything you like with “if saddam had his way”.
“I guess since YOU didn’t hear about it then I guess it’s not true”
Wrong on both counts.
“Never mind WMD, how about the fact that Saddam was planning on using oil as a foreign currency which would have likely destroyed our economy and other economies?”
Get a grip.
