But, as CNN have reported, Ambassador Wilson's report also noted that in 1999 an Iraqi delegation sought the expansion of trade links with Niger - and that former Niger government officials believed that this was in connection with the procurement of yellowcake.

"Uranium is Niger's main export. In other words, this element of Ambassador Wilson's report supports the statement in the Government's dossier.

It does not necessarily follow that because an Iraqi delegation sought expansion of trade with Niger, and Niger's main export is the uranium, that Iraq was trying to buy uranium. It is plausible, but it is not proof. Maybe some government officials across the globe should take a course in basic logic before sending soldiers to die.

Oh, please.If you think that one aspect of what the whole intelligence community thought Iraq was doing,had done,or was attempting to do was why congress approved going to war and Americans supported it your view is a bit myopic.

Are you stating that this one revelation of attempts to procure uranium in Africa was the basis of going to war?

On what do you base this assertion?
