[FairOpinion]

1. Niger's Prime Minister admits, as FACT, that Iraq tried to buy uranium from them some 20 years ago. Iraq is the world's 3rd largest supplier of Uranium. So it's not at all unreasonable to expect that Iraq may have been trying to get uranium from them at other times, including recently.

2. Note that Niger sells uranium to FRANCE! How interesting that the French refused to share info with the UK & US about the possible recent attempt by Saddam to acquire uranium from Niger.

Could the reason be that France was collaborating with Iraq in trying to help them get the uranium and by disclosing some intelligence, France would incriminate themselves?

I hope someone really digs into this.

OOOPs!! Could it be that by exposing this we are exposing the France (Dem allies) connection to Iraqi WMD's?

Somebody should have done their homework on this one.

Does anyone notice now it seems that Niger is no longer pronounced Niger, its become Nisheeer. When did the media up and decide to do this.

Niger: Iraq Asked for Uranium in 1980s

[Just mythoughts]

Word may be out that stuff has been found in Iraq and the lying liberals and their conspirators worldwide want to know exactly what has been found.

Using a mole to stir the pot of so called fraud may be their method of trying to force the administration to tell the secrets that the lying liberals don't know yet.

Most interesting article! (And some great comments too.)

"Two other African countries, Namibia and South Africa, are also among the world's 16 nations with rich uranium supplies."

From The Guardian September 25th 2002 -

"In the 1980s South Africa's apartheid rulers built several nuclear bombs and, according to a BBC investigation, a year before halting the weapons programme in 1989 they traded enriched uranium with Saddam Hussein.

The BBC cited an anonymous South African intelligence official who said that Washington, which favoured Saddam at the time, approved the deal. "About 50kg were sold to the Iraqis. The Americans gave the green light for the deal," the official was quoted as saying."

There ius a bunch of Iraq / Africa uranium info in this article.

[Brilliant]

Let's face it, Niger is not going to admit that it sold uranium to Saddam.

When did this nation stop being Nigeria and start being Niger? And why?

[TexasCajun]

I think My President is waiting for the right time to Nuke The French, The Democrats and The Mainstream Media! ...All at the same time with classified information on the France-Iraq weapons connection!

...remember, that french guy and the shoe-shine boy are hommies!

[The Old Hoosier]

The French apparently did share the info with the British, just not with us.
