| UN: Iraqi Nuclear-Related Materials Have Vanished |
| 2004-10-12 |
| So the material that, according to all who opposed the war, Saddam never had is disappearing? Equipment and materials that could be used to make nuclear weapons are disappearing from Iraq (news - web sites) but neither Baghdad nor Washington appears to have noticed, the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency reported on Monday. Satellite imagery shows that entire buildings in Iraq have been dismantled. They once housed high-precision equipment that could help a government or terror group make nuclear bombs, the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a report to the U.N. Security Council. Equipment and materials helpful in making bombs also have been removed from open storage areas in Iraq and disappeared without a trace, according to the satellite pictures, IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei said. |

| #5 To be perfectly honest, I believe the US is behind the stuff "disappearing". They are most likely making sure it goes away and most likely told someone in the IAEA and the memo was "misplaced" and now the UN is crying about the Evil Americans and their "lack" of control over the stuff. |

| #4 Listening to BBC, I was highly amused by the following train of "thought" apparent in interviewer and interviewees: - Iraq was "proven" by the Duelfer report to not have WMD programs - nevertheless, we need to be alarmed that Iraq is missing materials related to these WMD programs - and, the US itself is one of the prime suspects in the disappearance of these scary materials from a program that never existed |

| #1 "So the material that, according to all who opposed the war, Saddam never had is disappearing?" For el cubo, there is no contradiction. One second, there is this "No WMD--illegal war, Bush Lied, people died" and the next second "Bushitler did not secure WMD material!". Must be corpus calosum missing. Or some unknown affliction that causes extemely fast MPD switch oscillations. |
