Iraqi "Yellowcake" Trasported to Canada

[ILOVEDNY]

Wait a minute.
Saddam never tried to buy Yellowcake.
Joe Wilson and Valarie Plame told us so.
How could this be?

The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program — a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium — reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.

The removal of 550 metric tons of "yellowcake" — the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment — was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions.

Big difference in the initial bush jr. accusations that Saddam had tried to purchase more yellowcake from the African nation of N1ger and what this article is talking about. There never was any effort or fact to purchase anything from N1ger. Don't try and rewrite the facts.

OLD news also from your article:

Tuwaitha and an adjacent research facility were well known for decades as the centerpiece of Saddam's nuclear efforts.

Israeli warplanes bombed a reactor project at the site in 1981. Later, U.N. inspectors documented and safeguarded the yellowcake, which had been stored in aging drums and containers since before the 1991 Gulf War. There was no evidence of any yellowcake dating from after 1991, the official said.
