[QUOTE="harry gilbert, post: 8208030, member: 4763"] No, I wasn't equating preparation of meth from pseudoephedrine / Sudafed with refining yellowcake. One can be done by an individual in a hotel room; the other requires the resources of a country. (Like Iran and Korea are doing now, and Sadam wanted to do). The story was NOT "debunked". The existance of the 550 metric tons of yellowcake is a FACT. It is only the difference in interpretation. You may claim it is a useless, harmless, "commodity". Others recognize it for what is was - an attempt to acquire the materials with which to become a nuclear power. Sadam was a megalomaniac. He also acquired "harmless" precursor chemicals which were procured under the guise of manufacturing medicine and insecticides - they were turned into chemical weapons and used against the Kurds. I understand that there could be two interpretations, but which is more realistic? We went into Iraq not because Sadam was buying yellowcake. The fact that he was buying yellowcake was (properly, in my opinion) interpreted by several intelligence communities as evidence Sadam was seeking a nuclear weapons program. Among other specific acts of Sadam's. So don't imply we went into Iraq because Sadam bought a harmless chemical commodity. [/QUOTE]
