What I’d love to know and I’m sure someone does....is where did this 550 metric tons come from? I have not seen any news on where Saddam bought this stuff.
Sorry...forgot to add....I know ETL’s post suggests it was bought in Niger in the 70s, but that is the point the media chooses to ignore since it would suggest that Saddam would head right back to the place where he bought the first pile of yellow cake. That would make Wilson and Plame look really stupid and we can’t have that.
I can’t confirm it with a link but I believe I read on FR yesterday that it came from Nigeria but it was France that sold it to Saddam.
