1.) We have to also remember that in June 2004, in a secret operation, that more than 1.7 tons of partially enriched uranium was taken out of Iraq. The existence of this enriched uranium was not known to inpectors before the war.

2.) As well, more than 500 tons of uranium was found in Iraq, of which the 1.77 metric tons of partially-enriched uranium came from. It was discovered that Saddam had begun to partially enrich this uranium before the war.

Dr. Mahdi Obeidi was the physicist tapped by Saddam to run his centrifuge program.

He states that he buried the centrifuge parts, blueprints, and designs - along with some critical components of the centrifuge under his garden in Baghdad.

Obeidi: "I had to mintain the program to the bitterend." All the while the Iraqi physicist was aware that he held the key to Saddam's contiuning nuclear ambitions.

500 tons of partially enriched uranium, and the equipment and blueprints that could enrich enough uranium to make a bomb stored away for safekeeping. And all of it at the Iraqi dictators disposal.

This enrichment program was going to be restarted by Saddam after the inspections ended.

Links to the information in 1.) and 2.) will be provided below.

Blair's U.S. visit in 2003, should help show that Saddam had already secured Uranium from Niger in the past.

Bush said that "Saddam Hussein recently sought signifact quanties of uranium from Africa." not Niger, but Saddam had bought uranium from Niger in the 80's.

"As well, more than 500 tons of uranium was found in Iraq, of which the 1.77 metric tons of partially-enriched uranium came from. It was discovered that Saddam had begun to partially enrich this uranium before the war."

But the anti-American left-wing media will not report this and the traitors in the US Senate will say it is a lie.

so is it accurate to say that the war revealed 230 tonnes of uranium that was not known about, and that they don't know where it came from? (it is not a natural resource of iraq) and of that, 1.7 tonnes was partially enriched?

did the u.s. remove just the 1.7 partially enriched, or all 500 tonnes?
