Captured weapons-grade uranium weighing more than 33 pounds is on display at the paramilitary police headquarters of southeast province of Sanliurfa, Turkey, September 28, 2002. Turkish gendarmes seized the uranium and detained two men accused of smuggling the material, Anatolian Agency said. Authorities believe the uranium came from an eastern European country and has a value about $5 million. (Photo by Anatolian/Reuters)

The Democrats think their real enemy, the CIA,
masterminded this hoax to give Dubya a reason
to bomb Iraq, and replace saddam. Of course,
the Democrats will want to see the proof, weigh the
evidence, and have the smuggler's confessions
subjected to voice testing by the FBI crime lab,
before they make up their minds.

Well, uh, I think that, uh, over the next few months, we should, uh, begin selecting a panel -- a blue-ribbon panel, mind you -- that could, uh, develop a plan which we could then implement over the course of, say, the next year or two. The purpose of this plan would be to, uh, monitor the situation in Iraq, so that we could, uh, determine whether in fact Saddam Hussein is a threat to other nations.

I'm with the Democrats. Let's wait until we're nuked.

obviously headed for Iraq and as damning as this is , it seems to be getting no play on the news channels. the exact proof all the doubting dumDems have been asking for. will they get smart and fall in line like they should ? don't hold your breath.

Dear
Gerhard Schroeder,
Now we know why you and your administration hate America so much.
Now we also know why you refused to commit any German troops to a war to disarm Iraq. Smart thinking on your part...you
marxist pig!Were you planning on killing Americans with your 33 lbs of weapon-grade uranium??

now. the news folk have no idea what comprises "weapons-grade"
uranium; and turkish police are no doubt wont to maximize their
achievements. but if this is u-235, say 90 percent enriched, then
there are two observations to be made: there's enough there for two
kiloton-yield gadgets (and substantially greater yield if the thing
is well designed); and i wonder what kind of safe-geometry container
they had it in to keep it from going critical (which suggests that it
was nowhere near 90 percent enriched and therefore the story is blown all out of proportion).

This is worthy, in my opinion, of being in the "BREAKING NEWS" column! Our Democrat controlled Senate is blocking a resolution on Iraq, our leftist press is ignoring the dangers of WMD, and our citizenry is starting to doubt the motives of our Commander In Chief, albeit most still trust him! Please, consider this a BREAKING NEWS....it should be discussed at length by the FR community! thanks.
