Long before Ms Rice was telling her lies about WMD in Iraq - and long before Collin Powell made a fool about himself telling the Security Council in UN the same story about WMDs I believed it to be a big fat lie - and I got into hard weather when I got into discussing with some of the pro-wars in a debate forum I frequented then (it closed down after 22 of july 2011) The tubes you is refereeing to - was never intended to be make into anything that could be used in a nuclear program - it was indeed artillery tubes - who could be used as turrets to new cannons - the fantasy Ms Rice was telling was just that, a fantasy.. They had not the strength to be used to make anything like nuclear weapons... And the Yellow cake case was just another lie as Iraq never bought it - it was just a hoax.. And by the way, United States of America stole the tree metric tonnes of uranium the Iraq had, and have had the whole time since the bombing of the Iraqi Nuclear reactor in 1981. You remember the one who the US pushed for being build - and the Israelis bombed to a ruin in 1981 just before it was going online - and more than possible be used to make a real nuclear weapons for the then Saddam Hussein regime... In 2003, after more then 13 year of sanctions, the Iraqis was in no economical chap to build a nuclear bomb - and have more or less disbanded it - but made a potemkim village, to show off for the regime how smart they was - and was putting the money into swiss bank accounts - and fled the country when the war started..

I was right, the ones who wanted war with Iraq was wrong, even though they never admitted to it - most of them just disappeared after a while...
