jem, foreclosure specialist and expert on World-affairs... read this: http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report.pdf Then go choke yourself.
its new software here ... and I figured out on that very post but apparently this software does does not like twitter embeds. you should have waited a minute. as far as your 9/11 report... what does that have to do with ISIS finding WMDs in Iraq. did the report say there were WMDs in Iraq? If so... what is your point? as far as your other quip... I have never claimed to be an expert on world affairs.
88lbs of unenriched uranium. From Janes: At the same time, by bypassing the IAEA, Baghdad created confusion among those with the most at stake. Since the details of what materials went missing were not available for several days, there was unnecessary speculation in the media of possible hazards. This was compounded by the ambassador's apparently misleading claim that the materials could be used in weapons of mass destruction (WMD). There is nothing in his letter to suggest this is remotely true. All the available information indicates that the likelihood that these uranium compounds are highly enriched is infinitesimal. Iraq does not have the thousands of kilogrammes of natural uranium or the huge industrial infrastructure that is required to produce weapons-grade uranium. The ISIL could cause panic or disruption by scattering uranium compounds, but the real physical effects are on a par with other industrial chemicals. Indeed, uranium is more chemically than radiologically hazardous to human health. A possible explanation is that the uranium compounds were taken from the Al-Jazeera Nuclear Material Feed Plant west of Mosul after it was bombed by coalition forces in 1991. The plant was completely destroyed and tonnes of uranium had to be accounted for and recovered after the war. Some equipment and instrumentation was known to have been taken to the University of Mosul, but it is a good bet that Iraqi scientists collected additional souvenirs for further study and these were subsequently forgotten, even though they should have been declared to the IAEA. Whatever the source of the missing materials, the failure lies squarely on Iraq. The IAEA is only required to verify declared nuclear materials and not to do extensive searches for undeclared materials. The ambassador ended his letter by saying: "Iraq is notifying the international community of these dangerous developments." It would have been more appropriate to inform the IAEA promptly under the existing agreements rather than delay to create a new agreement and then bypass its procedures. Iraq's sleight of hand in joining the CPPFM the day before it made the announcement and bypassed IAEA is disappointing. It will certainly be a factor in any further assessments of the correctness and completeness of Iraq's co-operation on nuclear matters.
