Iraqi Nukes... or Not

[PeteTheYankee]

Interesting news today:

Iraqi security reportedly discovered three missiles carrying nuclear heads concealed in a concrete trench northwest of Baghdad, official sources said Wednesday.

The official daily al-Sabah quoted the sources as saying the missiles were discovered in trenches near the city of Tikrit, the hometown of ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

But then again, Iraqi officials are calling the report stupid:

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's Interior Ministry dismissed as "stupid" a report in a local newspaper on Wednesday that said three nuclear missiles had been found near the town of Tikrit.

Of course, 18 feet of concrete is certainly not seem to be an innocent structure... but Iraq was not known to have the capacity to create nukes, so where on earth did they come from if they do exist? I suppose it's possible that some rouge state could've given them to Iraq in preparation for the US invasion, but... that doesn't seem likely.

It'll be interesting to see how this all pans out.

Now Kerry and his ilk will say...

that they were planted.

I did find this interesting:

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiar Zibari made a surprise request recently to Mohammed el-Baradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, to resume inspections for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Perhaps Sandy Berger hid them in his socks and transported them to Iraq. :biggrin:

It was an honest mistake.
