UN Admits Saddam Nuke Threat
In a stunning admission, the UN IAEA Director General stated that Iraq possessed "high-quality, dual use equipment [and] materials," including "yellow cake (enriched uranium)" prior to the US invasion of Iraq in March 2003, and that "in the wrong hands, it could be turned to the use in a nuclear weapons program."
However, the UN is downplaying their own report with the remarkable claim that even though there were no international inspectors in Iraq from 1998 until late 2002, when they were forced in by President Bush, they were "satisfied" the materials were "not being used for a nuclear weapons program."
Nevertheless the new revelation, were it properly reported by an unbiased media, justifies the Bush Administration's concern over Saddam's WMD programs, and would likely be enough to guarantee President Bush's reelection.
