Bush and WMD

[Anon]

Thought I'd post this for those who haven't seen it....I assume its true due to the links posted at the bottom.

This should make you feel good if you were one of those like me who never believed the lies told by the traitorous democrats about President Bush lying about the reasons for invading Irag. This proves that Saddam had plenty of the material necessary for making atomic bombs. If Israel had not bombed his reactor, he would have had them. If we had not invaded him he would have started up again. I bet there was a lot of other stuff too. I am betting he had moved it somewhere. He surely did not use up all of the Gas on the Kurds. Wonder where it is? Probable in Syria. You have to admire President Bush for keeping a lid on this. I am sure he wanted to say "I told you so." But being the patriot that he is he placed the interest and the safety of the free world above himself. I think we should forward this to everyone we can, You sure are not going to see it in any main stream publications. Why?????????? The News Media will never admit they were wrong. Bush FINALLY vindicated on WMD in Iraq... Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2008 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 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. ............................................................................ On July 5, 2008, the Associated Press (AP) released a story titled: Secret U.S. Mission hauls uranium from Iraq. The opening paragraph is as follows: The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program (a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium) reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. Operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans. See anything wrong with this picture? We have been hearing from the far left for more than five years how Bush lied. Somehow, that slogan loses its credibility now that 550 metric tons of Saddam's yellowcake, used for nuclear weapon enrichment, has been discovered and shipped to Canada for its new use as nuclear energy. It appears that American troops found the 550 metric tons of uranium in 2003 after invading Iraq. They had to sit on this information and the uranium itself for fear of terrorists attempting to steal it. It was guarded and kept safe by our military in a 23,000-acre site with large sand beams surrounding the site. This is vindication for the Bush administration, having been attacked mercilessly by the liberal media and the far-left pundits on the blogo-sphere. Now that it is proven that President Bush did not lie about Saddam's nuclear ambitions, one would think that the mainstream media would report the true story. Once the AP released the story, the mainstream media should have picked it up and broadcast it worldwide. That never happened, due in large part, I believe, to the fact that the mainstream media would have to admit they were wrong about Bush's war motives all along. Thankfully, the AP got it right when it said, "The removal of 550 metric tons of yellowcake, the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment, was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy." Closing the book on Saddam's nuclear legacy? Did Saddam have a nuclear legacy after all? I thought Bush lied? As it turns out, the people who lied were Joe Wilson and his wife. Valerie Plame engaged in a clear case of nepotism and convinced the CIA to send her husband on a fact finding mission in February 2002, seeking to determine if Saddam Hussein attempted to buy yellowcake from Niger. The CIA and British intelligence believed Saddam contacted Niger for that purpose but needed proof. During his trip to Niger, Wilson actually interviewed the former prime minister of Niger, Ibrahim Assane Mayaki. Mayaki told Wilson that in June of 1999, an Iraqi delegation expressed interest in "expanding commercial relations" for the purposes of purchasing yellowcake. Wilson chose to overlook Mahaki's remarks and reported to the CIA that there was no evidence of Hussein wanting to purchase yellow cake from Niger. However, with British intelligence insisting the claim was true, President Bush used that same claim in his State of the Union address in January of 2003. Outraged by Bush's insistence that the claim was true, Wilson wrote an op-Ed in the New York Times in the summer of 2003 slamming Bush. Wilson did this in spite of the fact that Mayaki said Saddam did try to buy the yellowcake from Niger. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence disagreed with Wilson and supported Mayaki's claim. This meant nothing to Wilson who was opposed to the Iraq war and thus had ulterior motives in covering up the prime minister's statements. It was a simple tactic, really. If the far-left and their friends in the media could prove Bush lied about Hussein wanting to purchase yellowcake from Niger, it would undermine President Bush's credibility and give them more cause for asking what other lies he may have told. Yet the real lie came from Wilson, who interpreted his own meaning from the prime minister's statements and concluded all by himself that the claim of Saddam attempting to purchase yellowcake was "unequivocally wrong." Curiously the CIA sat on this information and did not inform the CIA Director, who sided with Bush on the yellowcake claim. This was made public in a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report in July 2004. Valerie Plame also engaged in her own lie campaign by spreading the notion that the Bush Administration outed her as a CIA agent. Never mind that it was Richard Armitage - no friend of the Bush administration - who leaked Plame's identity to the press. Never mind that Plame had not been in the field as a CIA agent in some six years. The truth is, due to their opposition to the war, Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame, the mainstream media, and their left-wing friends on the blogo-sphere engaged in a propaganda campaign to undermine the Bush administration. Now that Saddam's uranium has been made public and is no longer a threat to the world, do you think these aforementioned parties will apologize and admit they were wrong? Don't count on it. The rest of the American people should hear the truth about Saddam's uranium. It is up to you and me to inform them. As far as the anti-war crowd is concerned, the next time they say that Bush lied, we should tell them to "have the yellowcake and eat it too."

I knew they were there now there is proof .

Yellowcake is not a WMD. It's a component of such a weapon but you could have a warehouse full of the stuff and if you didn't have the facilities, the technical know-how, and all the other components you wouldn't be able to turn the stuff into a nuclear bomb.

Meanwhile, several other countries already have such weapons and are openly hostile to America yet they were not invaded. Why?

Also, several other countries (including Iran) have this and so much more and pose a far greater threat to America than Iraq ever could have yet they were not invaded. Why?

It's all moot now since the deed has been done, but the fact remains Bush's invasion of Iraq went totally against the concept of "just war" that Christians in America once stood for.

An exerpt from the above article::::::::::::;

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.

Re. the underscored portion::::::: I doubt you'll see the same patriotism from our new president-elect.

The proof:::::::: The Jihadis in Iraq claim credit for helping Obama getting elected. Our Saturday's paper carried a very interesting article to this effect.
