Making weapons-grade uranium from yellowcake sucks, and it takes a long time.

But this also means it can be done. Saddam was interested in trying to make weapons-grade uranium.

For the 16 words to be correct, either someone from Iraq had to go to Niger to seek it (Hitchens IDd someone who did just that — as he noted, what other possible reason could there have been?), or someone under orders from Saddam had to pick up the phone, call someone in Niger with authority, and say *we want to see if we can buy some yellowcake, please.* That is all.

The key word is SOUGHT (tried to get), not BOUGHT.

Joe Wilson IS the liar, and this three-year exercise has been a disgraceful scam that has come crashing down. It must hurt.

There is no evidence in it all. An Iraqi official went to Niger and Hitchens speculates that it could only have been for the purpose of obtaining yellow cake. He does not mention that the uranium produced from Niger is not weapons grade, so what was Saddam supposed to do with it if he got it. Bush was told before he made his speach that it was based on a forged document and after the speach the CIA said those sixteen words should not have been included. It is obvious who the liar here is and it aint Joe Wilson. That article by Hitchens proves nothing. There is no evidence in it all.

Hard to decide who looks the slimiest in this whole sorry saga.
