Liar, Liar, Uranium on fire
A reader draws our attention to this AP article:
Iraq Scientists: Lied About Nuke Weapons
Iraqi scientists never revived their long-dead nuclear bomb program, and in
fact lied to Saddam Hussein about how much progress they were making before
U.S.-led attacks shut the operation down for good in 1991, Iraqi physicists
say.Before that first Gulf War, the chief of the weapons program resorted to
“blatant exaggeration” in telling Iraq’s president how much bomb material
was being produced, key scientist Imad Khadduri writes in a new book.Other leading physicists, in Baghdad interviews, said the hope for an Iraqi
atomic bomb was never realistic.
Sounds much like the Bush plan for turning this whole thing over to Cha-Cha-Chalabi and strolling down Baghdad’s newly paved Bush Boulevard.
