What really pisses me off, the damn CIA had to send the irresponsible Wilson over to Niger AFTER 9/11 to determine the facts on the ground. WTF, we are paying this agency $30 billion dollars per year and they have no freekin idea who is attempting to purchase yellow cake? And you are trying to determine the honesty of the Libby/Wilson BS????? Please, spare me. This issue ticks me off to no end.

Yes, exactly. The Wilson affair revealed for anyone paying attention that CIA had apparently no one at all on the ground in a uranium producing country, a country in which Al Qaeda was trying to get a foothold, by the way.

If they had, they might have picked up on Libya's purchases, maybe.

Or maybe not. Do you remember from the 911 commission that Navy Intel notified CIA of a trader who supposedly wanted to come clean about uranium smuggling, and had a warehouse of the stuff at the port.

CIA never interviewed the guy. Their response was, "oh, were we supposed to?" And they waited a month before they sent anyone to look at the warehouse, and then found nothing.

And it might be worth reminding people that Wilson was in bed with a Saudi partner who was on Saddam's oil-for-food tab. So, where does that lead us?

No I did not know any of that. Do you have links? I would like to bookmark them.

Where would we be without the U.S. Military? When are we going to close down the CIA?

Can you imagine 4/8 years of Obama rule and the Dem's doing their nefarious business deals in the Mid East? I'm thinking Bill Clinton and his $20 million deal with Dubai. I'm thinking former Treasury Secretary Ruben flying to Dubai over Thanksgiving 2007 to save Citigroup's bacon. I'm thinking the Dem Congress agreeing with Saudi Arabia and not allowing the US to drill, mine and build new facilities. I'm thinking the Democrat leaning State Department with no Republican oversight. I'm thinking Obama’s way of dealing with terrorists, a copy job of Clinton's method. I think we are in deep trouble.

I recently found an article that said the UN had
accounted for 330 tons of “yellow cake” in 1991.

I can’t find that story now, but would appreciate
some help. If true, then Saddam had acquired an
additional 220 tons of enriched uranium from somewhere -
after 1991 and under the noses of the IAEA.
