Left Wrong on WMDs Again (and Again, and Again…)
If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times. The left continually says that Iraq posed no threat, that there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction, and that Hussein made no attempts to gain access to nuclear materials. None of this is true, of course, but that doesn’t stop people who have no understanding of the word “truth” from saying it over, and over again. Saddam Hussein had made open threats against America many times, and had his military fire on our planes for years. He used WMDs on the Kurds, and we have found chemical weapons. The first two points, therefore, have long since been proven false.
Now, the third major argument of the left goes down in flames. The BBC is reporting on an operation by the United States to remove 1.77 tons of enriched uranium and other radioactive materials. In other words, Iraq had a nuclear program, just like the intel had said.
“The United Nations nuclear watchdog – the International Atomic Energy Agency – and Iraqi officials were informed ahead of the operation, which happened ahead of the 28 June handover of sovereignty.”
One day, the left will learn to not speak authoritatively on stands they have no evidence to support.
No, probably not.

To quote from the story link…
“The 1,000 “sources” evacuated in the Iraqi operation included a “huge range” of radioactive items used for medical purposes and industrial purposes, a spokesman for the Energy Department’s National Nuclear Security Administration told AP news agency.”
Yea, Iraq had a nuclear program, what a suprise!
You do know that virtualy every country on earth that can afford one keeps at least one nuclear reactor and materials online and on-hand at all times to produce nuclear isotopes for use in medicine and industrial applications, especialy for fast-decay items that cannot be quickly imported?
What exactly does this do but slam medical and industrial capacity in Iraq at the expense of keeping such material out of the reach of terrorists?
