Ironic, isn't it? Here we have a container of weapons grade Uranium - already in the form required for detonating a nuke - which was reportedly the ONLY thing that Saddam was missing to put the puzzle together. Of course, we
assume that it had our name on it. But when you consider the country of manufacture as well as who Saddam hates most, I'd bet money that the target for this device would have been Israel. Not US. Likewise, I'll bet that this would not have been his first complete weapon.
Remember back on Saddam's birthday, when his generals told him of something that they had finally produced for him on his birthday? And that it wouldn't be the last one they built? Sound about right? We all laughed about what this mystery object might be back then here on FR, but we may have been rather premature.
