The Bush administration DIDN’T sit on this information.
It was reported, and MANY Freepers are well aware of the WMDs, precursors and tons of yellowcake.
The MSM had this information, announced it once or not at all, and then let it die away without discussion. Any attempt by the Bush administration to discuss it was quickly buried.
If they did announce these finds, the MSM didn’t give it any air: WMDs were dismissed as being “old”, precursors as being “insecticide” and tons of yellowcake as “unrefined” or “non-weapons grade”.
Isn’t the point of this story that the amount uncovered was actually much more than was reported at the time and repressed BY the Bush administration? Or am I missing something?

You are correct. I used to post pictures of exploding Sarin gas shells [the Army had on their website] on FR on a regular basis.
” WMDs were dismissed as being “old”, precursors as being “insecticide” and tons of yellowcake as “unrefined” or “non-weapons grade”.”
Yellowcake is processed uranium ore that is 99% U-238. It is mildly radioactive.
U-235 is weapons grade uranium. Yellowcake contains less than 1% of the U-235 isotope.
