A national defense analyst says President Bush should be commended for keeping quiet about a discovery that could have blown his critics out of the water.
Retired Major General Jerry Curry is a decorated combat veteran who served as an Army aviator, paratrooper, and Ranger during a military career that began during the Korean conflict. He recently wrote on his blog about a very under reported story by the Associated Press.
According to the report, a large stockpile of concentrated natural Uranium, known as "yellowcake," reached a Canadian port to complete a top secret U.S. Operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad, and a ship voyage crossing two oceans. The Uranium material had been housed at a former Iraqi nuclear complex 12 miles from Baghdad.
Curry says the president kept mum about the discovery in order to keep terrorists in the dark. "He made a very brave stand, a resolute stand..., in which he decided that he wasn't going to blab everything to the press," Curry commends. "...And in the meantime while he kept it quiet, he was buying time from the terrorists to get all that stuff out of the country. So that's what was done -- he just very quietly kept his mouth shut."
"The press beat him to death for the last several years," he continues, "and now it turns out that, yes, there were weapons of mass destruction...." Curry also maintains that Saddam Hussein had an active nuclear program and the material could have been made into a nuclear weapon.
President Bush's actions took courage, he notes, and all Americans should be thankful to have such a brave president who puts the welfare of the American people above personal considerations.

I can’t believe some of the stuff that gets blocked.
Remember I'm on a government computer. They think I should be working, not goofing off on FR.
(I try to claim, "work related research" of course.)
Lot's of stuff is blocked by the firewall.
Has Rush ever reported on this?
There is less to this than it seems at first glance. According to the CBS article, this yellowcake was being stored from before 1991, for use in that nuclear power-plant destroyed by the Israelis.
President Bush one GREAT PRESIDENT.
And yet that same eneMedia had no reservation against publishing classified data that hurt our national security and warfighting effort.
They sure didn’t. Good call.
Which only goes to prove, we have no Justice Department these days. A Department of Injustice perhaps...
“Seriously, this stuff was found a while back, guarded until safe transport could be arranged and an end user contracted.
The public seems to think in TV serial and Hollywood movie time frames, a logistically mission impossible.”
Of course, the mentally ill BDSers on both sides will ignore this reality.
They can’t allow reality to disturb their BDS mental illness which blames GW for everything. What miserable whining losers, they are. I feel sorry for their families and anyone within a zipcode of where they are.
Some war stories are so sad.
“We got hit by a rocket attack, nothing serious except the water main was taken out for a couple days (God Bless the Sea Bees!). However, all latrines were shut down and shaves and showers were performed in a bucket supplied by a Water Buffalo. Now that’s pretty much SOP.....except the Dough-nut Dollies from the USO across the road commandeered our Water Buffalo while we were cleaning up for the first time in two days after a flight. We were compromised and sent off by SP guards whose duty was the envy of the compound.”
