Was not this known a long time ago and ended up with Libya coming out of the closet?
My own view is that Saddam saw the light and subcontracted his nuclear work to Libya. The discovery was made after Iraqi records were captured.
The Paki was hip deep in it all.
As was China.
"The discovery was made after Iraqi records were captured."
According to the President's December '03 Libya statement, negotiations began with Libya in March '03. This would be prior to or at start of the war. I believe we will find out the partnership with Libya was discovered shortly after 911.
Yet according to Wilson after his discussion with Nigerien officials such a transfer is impossible. He fails to explain how the Pakistanis and the Libyans managed to get nealy 2000 tons of Niger uranium "off the books".
Exactly. That's why Bush took a personal interest in going to Oak Ridge TN last year. The Iraqi nuclear weapon program, which was subcontracted to Libya, was brought back to Oak Ridge. Bush wanted to see it for himself.
My own take on this is that the Republicans actually believe in and practice security, and that for national security reasons, there is a lot about the Iraqi nuclear weapons program that they need to keep secret, until they also nail Iran.
The US is like a detective investigating a conspiracy of murderers (Iraq and Iran). We arrested one guy (Iraq), but we're not about to talk about or display any evidence until we get the other guy (Iran).
