Possible Weapons Grade Plutonium Found
I know there have been some false alarms as of late, but jeez.....what if this is true? IMO, this would invalidate ANY real argument that we shouldn't have done this thing.
I can't think of anything creative to call this link
From the artcile:
1. "Capt. John Seegar, a combat engineer commander from Houston, is currently running the operation in Al Tuwaitha. "I've never seen anything like it, ever," he told the Tribune-Review. "How did the world miss all of this? Why couldn't they see what was happening here?"
2. "While officials aren't prepared to call the discovery a "smoking gun," two preliminary tests conducted on the material have indicated that it may be weapons-grade plutonium."
3. "It's amazing," Chief Warrant Officer Darrin Flick, the battalion's nuclear, biological and chemical warfare specialist told the newspaper. "I went to the off-site storage buildings, and the rad detector went off the charts. Then I opened the steel door, and there were all these drums, many, many drums, of highly radioactive material."

Why not call it: "it's a joke. Don't click this. It'll land you in the fiery pit of hell that is FOX. Please ignore my comment." Or anything along those lines.

How about: "It's not a joke just because it comes from Fox which is at least not a Leftist, defeatist, negative mouthpiece for liberals which have been before, and are again on the WRONG side of national security issues. "

We need a moratorium on the word "Possible".
Sorry. I know....but it would be an incredible find....way beyond chemical weapons and such.
I just hope that something that was made from this stuff isn't floating around out there somewhere, in the hands of some bad, bad people.
Or something.

Naw. That doesn't mouth too well. I think that if you'd actually have to pronounce that crap you'd be spitting teeth at the full stop. Sorry 'bout that. Maybe you COULD've gone for "this link leads to the network that internally died in '45, together with its spiritual father, Adolf Hitler"? Just a thought.
The underground bunker was interesting. Did Blix know about this?

That's good advice. I saw [I can't think of a funny name] before this one you've posted.
5 days.

Au contraire, we need more emphasis on this word in most if not all our threads, links and dogamtic pontifications in general. Alcimedes is right. Hey, folks, no one should argue that Iraq hid this stuff pretty well, so don't be quick to think we'll find this stuff easily, quickly nor that we won't find this stuff. Oh, I forgot who I was talking to...

Wooooooooooooooooosh
The implication of my comment was obviously that such questionable claims which can only be termed "possible" ought to be verified more fully before we even start discussing them rather than lobbing them out there ala this thread and the similar Possible WOMD Factory thread rather than any suggestion that we should term speculation as fact.
"The CIA encouraged international inspectors in the fall of 2002 to probe Al Tuwaitha for weapons of mass destruction, and the inspectors came away empty-handed.
"They went through that site multiple times, but did they go underground? I never heard anything about that," physicist David Albright, a former IAEA Action Team inspector in Iraq from 1992 to 1997, told the Tribune-Review."
Now, even if it turns out to be a bunch of waste materials from the power plant, how can they excuse that sort of sloppy inspection that they wouldn't search underground? Inspections were working how again?

Is this site anywhere near the Osirak nuclear power station that was bombed by Israel back in the 1980s?
I believe this and the site bombed in '81 are both at the Al-Tuwaitha nuclear development site.
Does anybody have any idea why this is being reported in only one, non-major newspaper?

I have some inside information. The next PowerBook will be the PowerBook G5 WGP. It gets a little hot but it's a desktop replacement.
