I think this is kind of significant, but I am finding it hard to find more than people talking about it. I know people that personally saw it on the news and said they barely mentioned it and thought they were kind of trying to sweep it under the rug. This is old news. This was reported right after we invaded and liberated Iraq. The uranium is old stuff that the UN allowed Iraq to store. Why they allowed this? I have absolutely no idea. However, I do remember them reporting that some of it was indeed enriched and do remember that it was Clinton that hit the Iraqi nuclear sites in '98. |

This a propaganda aimed at the election aspects of things......how stupid !. |

So anyone have thoughts on how this old knowledge became a new story? That's quite easy. The uranium was finally shipped out of there. That's what makes it newsworthy. The US and Iraqi government was keeping the information and location on this uranium very tightly under wraps for fear of either it being hit during shipping or the site of it being targetted for attack. With the country so much more secure and confidence in the Iraqi government and forces it was finally sold and shipped off to some Canadian company. There's the story. |
