We found enough uranium to build a couple of dirty bombs, 500 tons of enriched uranium that could have been used to build a nuke.

No, I think we found 500 tons of uranium, 1.77 tons of which was enriched. Still, enough for me to say, "Hello, what do you mean we found no evidence of WMD??" (And where did the regime get that uranium, hm? Does Joe Wilson know?)

Right. But this is hard evidence. Why in your opinion doesn't the administration shout this stuff every chance they get?

Wizard or Jim,

Do either of you know whether the 1.77 tons of enriched uranium had been, in fact, declared previously by Saddam? Moonbats seem to think we knew in advance about the uranium, but I can't find independent confirming evidence about whether this was the case.

It certainly seems to me that if in fact the enriched uranium was NOT declared and unknown to us before the war, then it's game-over for the "there was no WMD" crowd.

Can anyone provide a link to an article that documents this find? I've been searching and can seem to find it. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me how much enriched uranium is needed to produce fission bombs? How many kilotons of boom could Saddam get out of 1.77 tons of enriched uranium?
