BTW is is well accepted that Saddam had a large warehouse full of valuable Yellocake (partially refined Urainum) why didn't he sell it?
=======================================================================
Yellowcake is Uranium ore, not "partially refined Uranium". The refining process uses Fluorine, possibly one of the most corrosive elements made, and not at all easy to deal with.
It is NOT widely accepted by anyone except perhaps, you.
If he had it, where is it now? Did Juniorbush's agents spirit it away without a bit of propaganda advantage, to that nameless warehouse where the Ark of the Covenant was stored in the Indiana Jones film? Please, we are not idiots. If there was yellowcake, it still has not been found.
Saddam did not want his neighbors (Turkey and Iran as well as Syria and even Israel) to know that he was buck-nekked as far as weaponry went, so he tried to keep up the illusion. That, or his flunkies told him that he still had weapons that he didn't have, for the same reason.
Suppose the US knew that its nukes had become inoperable, or that its B-2's melted in the rain, and the rest of the world did not know this. Do you not suppose that they would do everything in their power to keep this a secret?
Saddam was an expert at subterfuge and propaganda. That is how he had become so durable.
It was obvious to ME that Juniorbush, Rice, Cheney and Rumsfeld were all fulla crap, and that Powell was having his arm twisted mightily to agree with their lies. The entire leadup to the war was a total ruse.
