'Yellowcake' found in Iraq

A national defense analyst says President Bush should be commended for keeping quiet about a discovery that could have blown his critics out of the water.

Retired Major General Jerry Curry is a decorated combat veteran who served as an Army aviator, paratrooper, and Ranger during a military career that began during the Korean conflict. He recently wrote on his blog about a very under reported story by the Associated Press.

According to the report, a large stockpile of concentrated natural Uranium, known as "yellowcake," reached a Canadian port to complete a top secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad, and a ship voyage crossing two oceans. The Uranium material had been housed at a former Iraqi nuclear complex 12 miles from Baghdad.

Curry says the president kept mum about the discovery in order to keep terrorists in the dark. "He made a very brave stand, a resolute stand..., in which he decided that he wasn't going to blab everything to the press," Curry commends. "...And in the meantime while he kept it quiet, he was buying time from the terrorists to get all that stuff out of the country. So that's what was done -- he just very quietly kept his mouth shut."

"The press beat him to death for the last several years," he continues, "and now it turns out that, yes, there were weapons of mass destruction...." Curry also maintains that Saddam Hussein had an active nuclear program and the material could have been made into a nuclear weapon.

President Bush's actions took courage, he notes, and all Americans should be thankful to have such a brave president who puts the welfare of the American people above personal considerations.

13. Oh for God's sake.

If this were true we WOULD have known about it by now. There is simply no damn way that Bush would have kept it quiet for this long. I mean, keep the terrorists in the dark? Fine, I can accept that for the first few months, maybe six, maybe even a year. But not this god damn long, Bush would have announced it prior to the '04 elections, or in the '05 and '06 downslide, or prior to the Surge. But he didn't, because there is just no proof.

14. That's the shit that was under lock and key

since the first gulf war. Sheesh.

[bhikkhu]

17. Exactly, and the whole thing was in the paper as it happened.

We transferred all the old Iraqi nuclear material that had been under UN control since GWI out of the Iraq. If I recall the story correctly as it was written, there was some criticism that we didn't do it sooner, as there was some confusion in the chain of custody during the early occupation that could have let some of it loose, but in any event nothing bad happened.

As for the OP...rewriting history only works where no one pays attention the first time around.

15. This is old news

that has been repackaged and regifted. This is the stuff that was under seal by the IAEA. It was there for years.

Here's a story from 2005 documenting Saddam's 550 tons on yellowcake: http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/1115/p01s04-uspo.html

It would take one hell of a lot of work and technology and equipment to refine this stuff down to fissionable material, which is retrieved from the process at rates of about 3-5%, which gets it to levels where it can be used in standard atomic reactors. Of course, the yield is a lot less and the process a lot harder when you are talking the levels of enrichment needed for weapons.

16. It was no fucking "discovery"

The IAEA knew about Iraq's yellowcake stockpile since 1981 and it was last comprehensively inventoried in 1994. One of Blix's jobs going back in was to see if any of it had disappeared. Idiot Boy stepped on his dick when he claimed Saddam purchased yellowcake from to Niger to ADD to what we already knew he had.
