5lbs! That's not even enough for a birthday yellow cake. Shux ;)

A spokeswoman for the International Atomic Energy Agency (search) said the Rotterdam specimen was scarcely refined at all from natural uranium ore and may have come from a known mine in Iraq that was active before the 1991 Gulf War.

What a disingenuous statement since the Iraqi mine is unique in that it is basically a phosphate mine which would leave strong trace element tags if analyzed. Especially a sample that was "scarcely refined".

Logically how does one confirm a Likely source? Wouldn't it be necessary to have a definite source for there to be a confirmation? Is this like Ike's famous "Definite maybe"?

Great news for President Bush, our fighting men and women and our country. There will be more finds like this in the future, as it can't stay hidden forever.

yellowcake? that's what you get from peeing in the snow...

Ummmm.....what a crock - ANY yellowcake in a country with zero legitimate use for it should be grounds for major suspicions. Furthermore - Bush and Blair have taken a lot of heat over a document they used in the lead up to the war that indicated an effort by Saddam to obtain yellowcake. Here is a smoking gun, yet now the lamestream media (and probably most of the world) wants to dismiss this as harmless....
