Iraq never complied with the requirements of the cease fire that ended the first Gulf War. This cease fire required them to give up their WMD programs and to document their destruction. It also put other limits on their missiles and other military activities.
They never complied. The attempts to buy uranium, which nobody can plausibly deny, was one small part of this failure to comply.
That’s really all there is to it.
Well said.
The facts are obvious, but they don’t fit the liberal template. Therefore they must be wrapped about with misdirection and confusion - all these years of hysterical CIA-agent outing nonsense - so nobody gets a chance to focus on all the yellow stuff in Saddam’s palaces.
The point the guy was making is that the forged docts were planted by one of our enemies in an attempt to *undermine* the fact (British intel) that Saddam Hussein was indeed seeking (additional) uranium. Their goal would have been to prevent the United States from going into Iraq and bringing down his monstrous regime. Russia has always had a thing for monstrous regimes, especially when it means a potential replacement would be a U.S.-friendly, free and democratic ally of the U.S.
