The whole point is this particular yellowcake, and the previous 2 tons or so of low-enriched uranium, are not any sort of in-your-face discovery. They’re remnants of the pre-1991 program, that were well known, and were not a particular issue for the UN or the United States. Any other aspects of the Iraqi post-1991 program are a separate issue.
My whole point is that Saddam had thousands of tons of yellowcake, including enough low-enriched uranium to make two nuclear bombs in his possession after he was allegedly “disarmed”. UN inspectors and their seals are meaningless when the dictator can (and did) throw them out of the country at will for years on end (and that’s saying nothing of that fact that the inspectors were acting on orders from a body being bribed by said dictator).
We don’t need “gotchas”. The reality of the situation was compelling enough. Especially in light of the 9/11 attacks and Saddam’s demonstrable connections to the group that attacked us.
And the truth is, WMD were one of many, many reasons for the invasion. None of those reasons have ever been disproved.
