So would shriek mine liberal friend at this news, courtesy of Bill Hobbs:
In a secret operation, the United States last month removed from Iraq nearly two tons of uranium and hundreds of highly radioactive items that could have been used in a so-called dirty bomb, the Energy Department disclosed Tuesday.
The nuclear material was secured from Iraq’s former nuclear research facility and airlifted out of the country to an undisclosed Energy Department laboratory for further analysis, the department said in a statement.
Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham described the previously undisclosed operation, which was concluded June 23, as “a major achievement” in an attempt to “keep potentially dangerous nuclear material out of the hands of terrorists.”
The haul included a “huge range” of radioactive items used for medical and industrial purposes, said Bryan Wilkes, a spokesman for the Energy Department’s National Nuclear Security Administration.
Much of the material “was in powdered form, which is easily dispersed,” said Wilkes.
Because if Saddam could use it, he could have used it. Because a man like him with nothing to lose would not hesitate to use it. So if he did not use it, that means he had no ability to use it. Therefore, his ability to use such weapons which was a salient point in the Eeeeeevil Republican case for war for Oiiiiiiiiil is eeeeerelevant! It is moot! Blah blah blah blah blah blah Halliburton…
You can never win with some people.
