[QUOTE="harry gilbert, post: 8207103, member: 4763"] That's the typical "technically true but misleading" spin the liberal media put on this story. Yellowcake is used in the preparation of fuel for nuclear reactors, where it is processed into purified UO2 for use in fuel rods for PHWR and other systems using unenriched uranium. [b]It may also be enriched, by being converted to uranium hexafluoride gas (UF6), by isotope separation through gaseous diffusion or in a gas centrifuge to [i]produce enriched uranium suitable for use in weapons and reactors.[/i][/b] And part of a nuclear weapons program is acquisition of precursor chemicals as well as the centrifuges needed to process into weapons-grade material. By the way, the many thousands of tons of high explosives and artillery shells that Sadam amassed are also WMDs, despite the mutating definition pushed by the liberal media. A "Weapon of Mass Destruction" has traditionally been defined as a munitions with the capacity to kill large numbers of human beings indiscriminately. That's what IEDs do. Only recently have the libs "redefined" the term so as to seemingly it limit it to chemical, nuclear, or biological weapons. I would suggest to you that when an IED made from Sadam's stockpile of explosives goes off and kills 30 or so people, that's the "indiscriminate killing of a large number of people". Want to quibble about how large "large" is? Pseudoephedrine is a useful medicine for treating sinusitis. When someone buys large quantities of it, they typically are using it as a precursor in the manufacture of methamphetamine, not to treat a headcold. Why do YOU think Sadam had [b]550 tons[/b] of yellowcake? He was such a peace-loving person, wasn't he? Furthermore, I take exception to your assertion that "It can't even be used to make a dirty bomb". With a little refining, yes it can. [/QUOTE]
