Didn't they supposedly come up with the Nigeria Yellowcake story?

Which they're sticking by.

In case you missed the last couple dozen posts, CentCom has confirmed that they are well and truly dead.

Not Nigeria, but Niger. Niger is the country to the immediate north of Nigeria.

Didn't they supposedly come up with the Nigeria Yellowcake story?

After all the Democratic carping on this topic, I'm not sure of anything about
Niger (pronounced Knee-Jair), in case you haven't been to network television pronunciation
classes, and France have protested that the two companies controlling the
uranium are under strict control. And that Saddam couldn't have possibly
gotten uranium from that source without being detected.

France and officials of an African nation. Now there are two venerable, totally incorruptible,
never-known-to-lie groups you can trust.


But seriously, the Brits may have gotten some bad intelligence on Niger from the
French...originally, when everyone thought that Saddam was just going back to the
SAME suppliers who shipped him 200 tons of uranium material in the 1980s.

My point was that I suspect the Brits will simply take any intelligence the French
give to them, read it and laugh, then promptly toss it in the trash (know as
rubbish in the U.K.).
