Weapons-Grade Plutonium POSSIBLY Found at Iraqi Nuke Complex

[JBKing]

I added the emphasis on 'POSSIBLY'. Nowhere in the article does it say with certainty.

Fox is also running with the "Chem Lab on Wheels" story....

It will be interesting to run that Plutonium thru an atomic absorbtion spectrophotometer or some such device to see the impurities and a get good idea of where it was made. Certainly not in Iraq since that requires a breeder reactor.

Any bets on France, Russia, Germany.....? That would explain a lot of their stance in the UN!

I'll take France. :D Is there actually a way to trace this stuff?

Funny, CNN isn't talking about it. If the find is confirmed, I guess they will have to bring it up eventually.

They haven't mentioned the mobile bioweapons lab either.

Fox reported that the weapons inspectors had been at the Pu site several times, but hadn't found anything. The Marine in charge commented that the facility was pretty obvious if someone was actually looking.

I believe France has several active breeder reactors.

I'll say France too,

They were really trying hard to keep us out of Iraq so one must wonder if there's more than peacful reasons for it.

The department of energy should be able to pretty much track down where it came from.... It could be very interesting if it really is weapons grade plutonium.

How do you even dare to say that France supplied that plutonium? After all, France was promoting the peace for the world before the conflict. However, the definition of peace for them is to not disturb the world order as long as they are fine. If they see people suffering being oppressed and slaughtered in Iraq they just don't care because they want peace. With Friends like that, Iraquis don't need enemies.

There were French markings on the containers and were the creators of the mobile labs per the French markings on them.

Germans manufactured most of the microscopes found in the bioweapons van.

Russian made RPGs and Rifles have been shooting at us.

Hmmm. No wonder they didn't want us invading.

No Blood for Oil, eh?

I guess Death for cash, is JUST fine though as far as these three are concerned (who will henceforth be know as Larry, Moe, and Curly... we'll let Baghdad Bob be Shemp)

This morning they had a woman on FNC who speculated the plutonium could have come from North Korea saying that it looks to be "dirty" plutonium and only a few countries have that. Namely Pakistan, Iran, and North Korea.
