YES THE WAR ON INFORMATION is see this thread derailing into a discussion about iraq that's to be suspected.... IF this is leaked to wikileaks then .gov just lost the war on info cause they will only leak known stuff like this on purpose. Realy i hope this is not an eye opener for people in here, But the main job of a goverment is to make ppl listen and obay the law. Their main tool is information. The news will tell u the "truth" every day just like they do in every country and if they are right or wrong is for U to decide and for U only. Yes even the things posted on wikileaks...And this is why there is an upset... cause for all country's things got out of hands. The only thing i am surprised with is that ppl actually got to see this shit about wikileaks on the news. And tbh i dont realy do conpiracy theory i just think this is pretty much the truth eventough western media (europe more then us maybe) will bring u what they think is the truth indepently. | ||

People referring to yellowcake as evidence of WMDs are fucking dumb. | ||

Lets Occam's razor a bit and say that all those people who were being tortured would say something about active nuclear warheads. If we want to go to war on the potential dangers in the world, we may as well try to take over the whole thing and tell everyone else to fuck off to the moon. | ||

I can't believe people would even say this, omg. Well to be fair, that's not exactly what they did. Full-scale invasion? Yes. Killing thousands of innocent victims? That falls more on the terrorists. | ||

Big difference is that this can't be used for anything besides nuclear power and WMDs. Just want everyone to realize how hard it is to turn a pile of uranium into something that will blow up. | ||

It is sad, but the truth is WMD does protect your country and give you a bigger seat at the bargaining table. | ||

The NY Times story (now added to the original post) says: Although the material could not be used in its current form for a nuclear weapon or even a so-called dirty bomb, officials decided that in Iraq's unstable environment, it was important to make sure that it did not fall into the wrong hands. Read: No WMD and continues to say: The yellowcake removed from Iraq - which was not the same yellowcake that President George W. Bush claimed, in a now discredited section of his 2003 State of the Union address, that Saddam was trying to purchase in Africa - could be used in an early stage of the nuclear fuel cycle. ... The vast Tuwaitha site has been bombed repeatedly since 1981, when Israeli warplanes destroyed the Osirak nuclear reactor there before it could be used to make weapons-grade uranium. American warplanes bombed the site in 1991 during the first Gulf War. Read: This was old leftover yellowcake from Saddam's first nuclear program (which was totally bombed and shut down.) According to all the evidence we found, there was no attempt to restart the program nor to purchase additional yellowcake as asserted by Bush - and this article supports that. Honestly, what was Saddam going to do with the leftovers from his previous endeavors (yellowcake & non-functional chemical weapons)? Flush them down the toilet? Of course we found that old leftover stuff, but that had nothing to do with any active programs or actual WMD threat. I don't see what the 'revelation' is. The only revelation would be if we HADN'T found that stuff. | ||
