yellowcake

Even the most strident proponents of invasion were talking about buying yellowcake, not ready-to-go nuclear warheads.

And it's a relatively small amount of mass to ship - perhaps 500 tonnes of yellowcake for a reactors' yearly requirement.

Good enough that they'd invent it even if it weren't true (just like yellowcake).

In as much that it's impossible to achieve supercriticality with a pile of yellowcake?

This yellowcake guy has over a hundred, of which almost all are great.

Would you like some yellowcake with that barrel of petroleum?

There was no yellowcake, there were no WMDs.

My point was that if you examine the motives of all the parties involved, the FBI's story stinks as much as the CIA's did when they started screaming yellowcake.

And this may not be wise looking back to Iraq: the yellowcake uranium fiasco, the bogus informant (Curveball), and the same pretext: concern over illegal weaponry.

With respect to Powell and Iraq, I'd observe that Kerry is not Powell, Obama is not Bush, Syria is not Iraq, and the evidence at hand isn't curveball and yellowcake.

Was the US intelligence from the same source that stated that Iraq was acquiring "yellowcake" from Niger?

I was even more surprised to find that the "toxic nuke stockpile" doesn't refer to so-called toxic debt, but rather an actual stockpile of yellowcake uranium.

I do mind it when it just powers the various killing machines at our disposal and wars based on clear lies like "yellowcake" and "WMDs." How many Mars missions did Iraq cost us?

The Iraqi government sold the yellowcake to a Canadian uranium producer, Cameco Corp., in a transaction the official described as worth "tens of millions of dollars."[117] And of course the beginnings of leaks into terrorist organisations: > A 7 pound block of cyanide salt was discovered by U.
