The title of the thread is somewhat misleading. Uranium is not a WMD. It's a component of such. Components of WMD's aren't going to convince anyone of the "immediate" danger saddam supposedly posed.

Finally, some evidence to help the WMD argument.
All five hundred tons were harmless

FlyersFan, I've come to realize you think ATS members are stupid. Otherwise why in the name of creation would you keep posting NEWSMAX drivel and spin?

if I were you, I'd stretch a little and find more credible sources. If you tried using NewsMax to back up claims in any reputable news organization/newsroom in America, they'd laugh you out of the building. No offense, just giving you the straight dope.

Exactely. This could have potentialy been made into WMD's.......but it wasn't. Call that a threat?
Five hundred tons of yellowcake uranium ore stored at Saddam Hussein's al Tuwaitha nuclear weapons research laboratory near Baghdad could have been enriched to produce 142 nuclear weapons, a prominent British physicist has determined.

For conversations sake, let's say that there really was 500 tons of Unranium there, and say it wasn't even enriched. What would that be used for if not for WMD's?

Yes, actually I DO think SOME are stupid, and SOME are misinformed,
and SOME are beyond hope, while others are actually brilliant or open
to truth. Hate to burst your liberal bubble, but NEWSMAX and WORLDNETDAILY are credible news sources. It's just that they report
truthful things that you don't want to hear. Things that invade the
nice little socialist world you have created in your mind ...
your 'happy place'. I'm sure that some folks here would rather not
read the truth, and that they'd rather be spoon feed socialist
spin from CNN (Communist News Network). But hey ... life's a B****
isn't it?

There are other uses, and as has been said , it would have taken years for that Uranium do have been developed into a usable weapon. Our great leaders Tony and George repeatedly highlighted a threat, a threat to us. That is why you invade a country, because that country is endangering the lives of your countries citizens. Why can't you just accept that this was clearly not the case and that other motives are the only real explanation for what was done.

So you think the best way to inform the "stupid" people of ATS is by continuously spamming the board's Politics & Scandals and WoT forum with reposts from Newsmax. Never mind the fact you and they keep getting debunked within seconds. ... then we'll just have to see how much of b**** life can really be.
