Re: wow wiki leaks bullshit
Yeah... and four pounds of flour and two pounds of butter doesn't mean there's an intention for baked goods... Yellowcake = WMD waiting to happen, FYI. Please tell me how to make a possible WMD out of yellowcake. You will impress me greatly if you get it right. You can get as technical or as simple...

Re: wow wiki leaks bullshit
Its just that yellowcake is not a WMD, its only natural ore. It still requires conversion to uranium hexafluoride (UF6) for enrichment - a very intricate, time-consuming, an extreme technical challenge, and expensive process. With enough effort, enriching to ~4% will fuel a power reactor. Iraq had n...

Re: wow wiki leaks bullshit
Not convincing Telfor considering Bush cited Iraq trying to get yellow cake in Africa as one of the proofs for going to war. Had they found a significant amount of yellowcake, it would've validated that Iraq was pursuing WMD and had apparently acquired a large quantity of a crucial building block. ...

Re: wow wiki leaks bullshit
No big secret here. US Army led the clean up of Tuwaitha. The place was very crapped up. Locals scavenged the reactor facility for metal before any US Forces got there and scattered the uranium all over the place. We took out alot of fairly large sources too, that was a US Army/DOE joint mission. I'...
