For those who don't like to click on links, here is another small excerpt from the article:

"The well-known Al Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Center, about 12 miles south of Baghdad, had nearly two tons of partially enriched uranium, along with significant quantities of highly radioactive medical and industrial isotopes, when International Atomic Energy Agency officials made their last visit in January."

And the UN left it in Saddam's hands and kept telling us how there is no danger.

All of what you say is true.

What do we do now though?

It seems that those materials have reached the hands of terrorists anyway. So, what are we to do? We tried our best to secure the darn things, and now they've been stolen. The next step is to be hit by that nasty stuff and we can't do much to prevent it.

Makes me mad.

All of this could've been prevented years ago if Hussein had been removed instead of negotiated with and stroked.

I'm afraid even the war hasn't solved our problems, it might be too late.

That's what gets me about the nature of the UN standards for Iraqi "disarmament." Still they were hitting us with missiles in Kuwait - "oh, those were allowed." Then we find radioactive materials - "oh, we knew about those." Next we are going to find more Al Queda links, they'll probably tell us they knew about those as well.

I really think a good part of the French and Russian population would love to see America nuked. I think they've made the UN a complete joke for all time and it needs to go the way of the League of Nations.
