Comments on: U.S. Secretly Takes Yellowcake From Iraq

A Huge Stockpile Of Natural Uranium Arrives In Canada After Secret U.S. Operation

In fact, Alpha loves water so much, there''s a method of mining that doesn''t need miners called "leeching", where all they do is spray water on the rock face, and the Alpha sticks to it. They pump the water up to surface and extract it.

There''''s 3 types of radiation associated with Uranium. Alpha? Beta? And Gamma. Alphas the dust. And thats why I always say, if ever there was a dirty bomb all you''''d have to do would be to wet everything down. In fact, invest in what underground uranium mines do.. these thingies called "atomizers". They''''re like tiny sprinklers that inject a fine fine mist in the air of water vapor. Alpha loves water vapor.. and sticks to it. It gets heavy and falls back down to the ground. No longer ionized..

Beta penetrates the skin, but not the body. Not much you can do about that. Gamma penetrates clear thru the body, like an x-ray. The generally agreed upon acceptable daily dosage of beta and game is what they call ''0.33 WLM'' or Working Level Months. And its a complex environmental formula that determined a long time ago fer Uranium miners that that was the acceptable dosage of daily exposure.

Well Donny - those FEMA classes are paying off...

The most effective weapon against radon is ventilation. Thats why them older houses with basements got ventilation fans to the outside. Cuz so long as theres circulation of the air, the Radon never gets a chance to linger for too long. And is blown out in the atmosphere. The second best weapon against Radon is water. Because Radon is electrically charged particles. Thats how it sticks in yer lungs. But most people don''t want to run sprinklers in their basements..

OH, NO, Bomb them - they might make an atomic bomb and launch an unprovoked attack against some innocent country and act like Terrorists!

Stop the Terrorists from making a bomb out of that stuff.

Radon is what ya get in basements whenever you dig into the ground. It seeps up from the exposed surface soil, and is commonly known as alpha radiation. Alpha radiation, though the least radioactive of the radioactive family, is the most dangerous.. because its a dust you breath in to yer lungs. And has a half life of 500 years.

Ya see, basements are like anthrax weaponizers. They ionize everything just out of sheer time and dryness.. fer dirt that was fer a long time wet and damp. It floats in the air.. gets in yer lungs.. and causes cancer.

Terrorists are on the run and cannot get to us right now. No alerts are required. But don''''''''t worry, you will be hearing terrorist alerts again daily after Hussain Obama gets elected. That is until the democraps end the alert program in an effort to make terrorism "go away".

Oh, you must be referring to Al Qaeda in Iraq, these guys??

Al Qaeda in Iraq, The Big Bad Wolf:

Estimates for Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) numbers range from 850, about three to five percent of the Sunni insurgency, to several thousand. In 2006 (pre-Surge) the State Department''''s Bureau of Intelligence and Research estimated that AQI%u2019s membership was in a range of "more than 1,000," putting AQI%u2019s forces at less than one percent of the insurgency.

The Congressional Research Service noted in its September 2007 report that attacks from al-Qaeda are less than two percent of the violence in Iraq.

I don''t know when the news reaches you:

NIE: al-Qaeda Regrouped, Stronger In Pakistan
While not news to regular ThreatsWatch readers, the National Intelligence Estimate recently produced by CT analysts officially documents that Al-Qaeda is not %u2018on the ropes%u2019 or even weakened any more than it is lead by two men darting about from cave to cave. They are, in fact, stronger, more capable of producing terrorists and more comfortable in their havens carved out in Pakistan than they were in Afghanistan prior to the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Counterterrorism analysts produced the document, titled %u201CAl-Qaida better positioned to strike the West.%u201D The document pays special heed to the terror group%u2019s safe haven in Pakistan and makes a range of observations about the threat posed to the United States and its allies, officials said.

Al-Qaida is %u201Cconsiderably operationally stronger than a year ago%u201D and has %u201Cregrouped to an extent not seen since 2001,%u201D the official said, paraphrasing the report%u2019s conclusions. %u201CThey are showing greater and greater ability to plan attacks in Europe and the United States.%u201D

The group also has created %u201Cthe most robust training program since with an interest in using European operatives,%u201D the official quoted the report as saying.

I gar-ron-tee-ya Cheeny, Gilligan, Rice and pals would have all been ''crowing like rosters'' if all this yellowcake had actually been found in Iraq, why are we just now hearing about this?

[edintex]

By the way when was the last terror alert, I don''''t remember one after the 2004 election...

Just more drivel from the conservative media desperately trying to make a case for the "war" in Iraq.

[taotxzen]

You all know the Bush Gang by now, remember all the ''TERROR ALERTS'' during the 2004 election that just so happened to be announced whenever negative news on the Great Leader was reported. I will bet the entire farm that this story will turn out to be ''orchestrated'' considering the timing of the Wilson anniversary.

By the way when was the last terror alert, I don''t remember one after the 2004 election...

This brings up another interesting point.

Since it was so well known that Saddam already had access to 500-plus toms of yellowcake, and obviously had no need to buy more, why didn%u2019t the media inform the average American of this when Bush first made his false Niger claim?

Perhaps then there would have been no need for this administration to sacrifice Valerie Plame''s, and associate%u2019s, safety by deliberately exposing her secret agent status.

5 Years Ago Today: Joe Wilson''s Op-Ed Kicked off ''Plame-gate''

Here is one the far right wing-nuts never want to talk about:


Plame was %u2018covert%u2019 agent at time of name leak
Newly released unclassified document details CIA employment


updated 1:24 p.m. PT, Tues., May. 29, 2007

WASHINGTON - An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie Plame''s employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, indicates that Plame was "covert" when her name became public in July 2003.

The summary is part of an attachment to Fitzgerald''s memorandum to the court supporting his recommendation that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney''s former top aide, spend 2-1/2 to 3 years in prison for obstructing the CIA leak investigation.

The nature of Plame''s CIA employment never came up in Libby''s perjury and obstruction of justice trial.

Dude! That is the most amazing joke I have heard. Keep it up, you may be the next Yakov Smirnoff.

[secundus2]

Typical of the media to do a thousand stories on Valerie Plame and just one on a million pounds of uranium in Saddam''s nuclear pipeline.

Can''t blame the media entirely. The public loves the kind of personality- or celebrity-based tittle-tattle that stirs up political antagonisms. And the public has no appetite for news that might require serious action in foreign policy.
