A national defense analyst says President Bush should be commended for
keeping quiet about a discovery that could have blown his critics out
of the water. Retired Major General Jerry Curry is a decorated combat veteran
who served as an Army aviator, paratrooper, and Ranger during a military
career that began during the Korean conflict. He recently wrote about a very
under-reported story by the AP.
According to the report, a large stockpile of concentrated natural uranium, known as 'yellowcake,' reached a Canadian

According to the report, a large stockpile of concentrated natural uranium, known as 'yellowcake,' reached a Canadian
port to complete a top secret U.S. Operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad , and a ship voyage
crossing
two oceans. The uranium material had been housed at a former Iraqi nuclear complex 12 miles from Baghdad .

Curry says the president kept mum about the discovery in order to keep terrorists in the dark. 'He made a very brave stand,
a resolute stand..., in which he decided that he wasn't going to blab everything to the press,' Curry commends. '.. In
the
meantime, while he kept it quiet, he was buying time from the terrorists to get all that stuff out of the country. So that's
what was done -- he just very quietly kept his mouth shut.

On July 5, 2008, the Associated Press (AP) released a story entitled: Secret U.S. Mission hauls uranium from Iraq . The opening
paragraph is as follows: The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program (a huge stockpile of
concentrated
natural uranium) reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. Operation that included a two-week airlift from
Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.
See anything wrong with this picture? We have been hearing from the far left for more than five years how Bush lied.

Somehow, that slogan loses its credibility now that 550 metric tons of Saddam's yellowcake, used for nuclear weapon
enrichment, has been discovered and shipped to Canada for its new use as nuclear energy. It appears that American troops
found the 550 metric tons of uranium in 2003 after invading Iraq. They had to sit on this information and the uranium itself for
fear of terrorists attempting to steal it. It was guarded and kept safe by our military in a 23,000-acre site
with large sand berms
surrounding the site.
This is vindication for the Bush administration, which has been attacked mercilessly by the liberal media and the far-left pundits
This is vindication for the Bush administration, which has been attacked mercilessly by the liberal media and the far-left pundits
on the blogo-sphere. Now that it is proven that President Bush did not lie about Saddam's nuclear ambitions, one would think
that the mainstream media would report the true story. Once the AP released the story, the mainstream media should have picked
it up and broadcasted it worldwide. That never happened, due in large part, I believe, to the fact that the mainstream media
would
have to admit they were wrong about Bush's war motives all along. Thankfully, the AP got it right when it said, 'The removal of
550 metric tons of yellowcake, the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment, was a significant step toward closing the
550 metric tons of yellowcake, the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment, was a significant step toward closing the
books on Saddam's nuclear legacy.'
Closing the book on Saddam's nuclear legacy? Did Saddam have a nuclear
legacy after all? I thought Bush lied? As it turns out, the people who lied were Joe Wilson and his wife. Valerie Plame engaged
Closing the book on Saddam's nuclear legacy? Did Saddam have a nuclear
legacy after all? I thought Bush lied? As it turns out, the people who lied were Joe Wilson and his wife. Valerie Plame engaged
in a clear case of nepotism and convinced the CIA to send her husband on a fact finding mission in February 2002, seeking to

During his trip to Niger , Wilson actually interviewed the former prime minister of Niger, Ibrahim Assane Mayaki. Mayaki told
Wilson that in June of 1999, an Iraqi delegation expressed interest in 'expanding commercial relations'
for the purposes of
purchasing yellowcake. Wilson chose to overlook Mahaki's remarks and reported to the CIA that there was no evidence of
Hussein wanting to purchase yellow cake from Niger. However, with British intelligence insisting the claim was true,
President Bush used that same claim in his State of the Union address in January of 2003. Outraged by Bush's insistence
that the claim was true, Wilson wrote an op-Ed in the New York Times in the summer of 2003 slamming Bush. Wilson did this
in spite of the fact that Mayaki said Saddam did try to buy the yellowcake from Niger . The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence
disagreed with Wilson and supported Mayaki's claim. This meant nothing to Wilson, who was opposed to the Iraq war and thus
disagreed with Wilson and supported Mayaki's claim. This meant nothing to Wilson, who was opposed to the Iraq war and thus
had ulterior motives in covering up the prime minister's statements.
It was a simple tactic, really. If the far-left and their friends in the media could prove Bush lied about Hussein wanting to
purchase
yellowcake from Niger , it would undermine President Bush's credibility and give them more cause for asking what other lies he
may have told. Yet the real lie came from Wilson, who interpreted his own meaning from the prime
minister's statements and
concluded all by himself that the claim ofSaddam attempting to purchase yellowcake was 'unequivocally
wrong.'
Curiously the CIA sat on this information and did not inform the CIA Director, who sided with Bush on the yellowcake claim. This
was made public in a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report in July 2004.
Valerie Plame also engaged in her own lie campaign by spreading the notion that the Bush Administration outed her as a CIA agent.
Never mind that it was Richard Armitage - no friend of the Bush administration- who leaked Plame's identity to the press. Never
mind
that Plame had not been in the field as a CIA agent in some six years.

The truth is, due to their opposition to the war, Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame, the mainstream media, and their left-wing friends on the
blogo-sphere engaged in a propaganda campaign to undermine the Bush administration.
Now that Saddam's uranium has been made public and is no longer a threat to the world, do you think these aforementioned
parties will apologize and admit they were wrong?
Don't count on it. !!!!!!!!!
The rest of the American people should hear the truth about Saddam's uranium. It is up to you and me to inform them. As far as the
Don't count on it. !!!!!!!!!
The rest of the American people should hear the truth about Saddam's uranium. It is up to you and me to inform them. As far as the
anti-war crowd is concerned, the next time they say that Bush lied, we should tell them to 'have the yellowcake and eat it
too.'
