All of the yellowcake was a remnant of the pre-1991 Iraq program, which was identified and regularly inspected by the IAEA.

Oh, Mohamed El-Baradei and the IAEA had it all under control. That's good. Because I've been wondering all these years why the hell they ever permitted Saddam to maintain possession of thousands of tons (remnants) of raw nuclear materials after 1991.

I'm sure Saddam never dreamed of breaking those UN seals when he threw the inspectors out of the country.

A 1.2 million pound remnant! Imagine what the whole amount must have been!!
