Iraq WMD found....

....in Europe. Why am I not surprised?

UNITED NATIONS, April 14 -- Large amounts of nuclear-related equipment, some of it contaminated, and a small number of missile engines have been smuggled out of Iraq for recycling in European scrap yards, according to the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog and other U.N. diplomats.

I had heard about this yesterday, but I thought it was a joke. I guess not. Scrappleface has nuttin' on the EU.

Mohammed ElBaradei, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, warned the U.N. Security Council in a letter that U.N. satellite photos have detected "the extensive removal of equipment and, in some instances, removal of entire buildings" from sites that had been subject to U.N. monitoring before the U.S.-led war against Iraq.

So, not only are some countries fully aware of the fact that they are transporting WMD related materials, but they're getting money off of it! Hmmmmmmm.... Nope, I'm still not surprised. This is yet another lesson, folks. THE EU IS NOT OUR ALLY. We may have several countries in the EU who we consider allies, and rightly so. But the EU? The EU is a huge parasite, created and run by unelected elitists who look down at the USA. The EU is not our ally.

After the 1991 Persian Gulf War, U.N. inspectors discovered, inventoried and destroyed most of the equipment used in Iraq's nuclear weapons program. But they left large amounts of nuclear equipment and facilities in Iraq intact and "under seal," including debris from the Osirak reactor that was bombed by Israel in 1981. That debris and the buildings are radioactively contaminated.

The U.N. nuclear agency has found no evidence yet that the exported materials are being sold to arms dealers or to countries suspected of developing nuclear weapons. But ElBaradei voiced concern that the loss of the materials could pose a proliferation threat and could complicate efforts to reach a conclusive assessment of the history of Iraq's nuclear program.


"no evidence yet that the exported materials are being sold to arms dealers" That's not the figging point! I'm not worried about Iraq selling nuclear secrets, I'm worried about FRANCE selling nuclear secrets! It's the fact that people are hysterically shrieking that there were no WMD's, and yet THEY'RE RECYCLING WMD RELATED MATERIAL! F**KING SCUM!

Gah... It's too damn early in the morning to have my blood pressure up like that. Hat tip to Rantburg and Kim du Toit.
