..and then look at the IAEA website a bit more carefully. This procurement was all pre-gulf I. What wasn't distroyed on that war was destroyed by weapons inspectors in the following years, you idiot. You provided us with the facts to disprove your nonsense. Thanks.

As for your book...well, you can bet that if it were true, the WH spin machine would have been working overtime to make sure the public had these facts.

You are a tool, fool.


From the website you so graciously linked to disprove your own "facts:"

III - IAEA Achievements in Iraq

Iraq

Procurement and production of uranium compounds

Removed all known weapon usable materials

All known indigenous facilities capable of producing uranium compounds useful to a nuclear programme were destroyed during the Gulf War; IAEA inspected and completed the destruction of facilities; IAEA monitored the sites as part of their OMV activities.

Took custody of all known imported compounds and indigenously produced uranium compounds


Industrial-scale facilities for the production of uranium compounds suitable for fuel fabrication or isotopic enrichment

All known indigenous facilities capable of producing uranium compounds useful for fuel fabrication and for isotopic enrichment were destroyed during the Gulf War; IAEA inspected and completed the destruction of facilities; IAEA monitored the sites as part of their OMV activities.


R&D of indigenous uranium enrichment technologies

Destroyed, removed, or rendered harmless all known single-use equipment used in enrichment R&D

Destroyed all known facilities and equipment for the enrichment of uranium

Subjected to ongoing monitoring and verification all facilities and known dual-use equipment capable of being used in enrichment R&D
Design and feasibility studies for an indigenous plutonium production reactor Inspections revealed no indication that Iraq's plan for an indigenous plutonium production reactor proceeded beyond feasibility study.


R&D of irradiated fuel reprocessing technology

The relevant facilities at Tuwaitha used for irradiated fuel reprocessing R&D were destroyed during the Gulf War


R&D of weaponisation capabilities for implosion-based nuclear weapons

Destroyed the principal buildings of Al Atheer nuclear weapons development and production plant.

Destroyed, removed, or rendered harmless all known purpose-specific equipment


A "crash programme" aimed at diverting safeguarded research reactor fuel and recovering the HEU for use in a nuclear weapon

The chemical processing plant was destroyed during the Gulf War; IAEA monitored sites with relevant capabilities as part of their OMV activities.

Verified, accounted for, and recovered the entire inventory of research reactor fuel

Arranged for removal of all HEU fuel from Iraq
