Of course the retrograde White House communications team didn’t even mention it, let alone calling a press conference. This is the worst communications effort be an Administration, in the history of the modern presidency.

Actually, the timing is a bit off, and some have questioned the contention that the yellowcake that was moved was the same material that Joe Wilson was talking about. If Hussein bought all the yellowcake that was moved, BEFORE 1991, that's not the same stuff that's being discussed in the Niger situation.

If I'm not mistaken, that large amount of yellowcake was moved while the UN was still being allowed into the country, before 2003, and they required him to move it. When he stopped allowing the UN observers into the country, of course, all bets were off. If that's the case, those who are trying to diminish the importance of the yellowcake that was moved are NOT thinking things through.

If Hussein was forced to send all that yellowcake out of the country, by the UN, he WOULD have been looking to replace it, so there is every likelihood that he would have been sending representatives to Africa to buy more. Joe Wilson doesn't seem to even consider the possibility that those who told him that Hussein wasn't trying to buy yellowcake were LYING to him. By his own admission, he wasn't out doing any detective work himself; he was just sitting around in comfort, drinking sweet tea, and having meetings with folks who were willing to talk to him.
