1.The sole non-agricultural export of Niger is Uranium, which it regularly sells in large quantities to European and other customers.
2.. The yellowcake Saddam had purchased in the 80's was obtained from Niger.
3. The President of Niger says they did try to by Uranium.
4. British intelligence continues to say that they were seeking uranium.
....But, Joe Wilson, the inexperieced private citizen, Bush-basher, and husband of the glorious Valerie says it ain't so, therefore........the trade mission was really about getting enough honey-roasted peanuts to Iraqi soldiers??????? I swear, there is nothing more stupid than a MSM reporter.
I don't understand what the big deal is here, either. Joe Wilson says the Iraqis weren't attempting to get uranium from Africa, the White House says they were. Who you gonna believe? If Joe Wilson has a talent, it is for making a lot out of nothing.
