The report did not specify the amount, but it appeared to be less than the approximately three kilograms (nearly seven pounds) required to make a nuclear bomb.

How can it "appear" to be anything when the report doesn't specify. I could just as easily say they appeared to convert 50 pounds of material, and be on the same footing.

Idiot reporters...

Maybe they were able to make one nuclear bomb and have already given it off to some backed terrorist group, and is therefore ridding itself of the evidence.

"The report, authored by IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei, showed Libya's nuclear programme began as far back as the early 1980s and was far more extensive than previously believed."

Libya secretly made bomb-grade plutonium

THIS is why we couldn't take any chances with Iraq.

First of all, if Libya was making them, can anyone realistically believe that Iraq wasn't, and second of all, when it comes to WND we can't take the chance. As Condi Rice and Bush said, the final confirmation could be a mushroom cloud over a US city.

Any responsible person -- especially a President who has responsibility for the country and the American people, has to err on the side of caution. Suppose Bush didn't take over Iraq, and Saddam had unleashed some WMD on us? The Dems would be the ones demanding his immediate resignation and trial by a tribunal for neglecting his duty to protect us.
