WikiLeaks Vindicates Pres. George W. Bush. Saddam Had WMDs Stockpiled

Wikileaks vindicates President George W. Bush: “Saddam had weapons of mass destruction stockpiled”
December 9th, 2010
The WikiLeaks de facto declassification of privileged material makes it case closed:
Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction — and intended to restart his program once the heat was off.

President George W. Bush, in the 2003 State of the Union address, uttered the infamous “16 words”: “The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.”

Former Ambassador Joe Wilson sprang into action and, in an op-ed piece, in effect wrote, “No, the Cheney administration sent me to investigate the allegation — and I found it without merit.”

[From that point forward the liberal MSM (Communist Media) in this country have spent millions of hours, countless manpower and vast amounts of money to make George W. Bush out to be a some kind of a zombie liar.].. emphasis mine.

But … there … was … yellowcake. This brings us back to WikiLeaks.

Wired magazine’s contributing editor Noah Shachtman — a nonresident fellow at the liberal Brookings Institution — researched the 400,000 WikiLeaked documents released in October. Here’s what he found: “By late 2003, even the Bush White House’s staunchest defenders were starting to give up on the idea that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But WikiLeaks’ newly-released Iraq war documents reveal that for years afterward, U.S. troops continued to find chemical weapons labs, encounter insurgent specialists in toxins and uncover weapons of mass destruction (emphasis added). … Chemical weapons, especially, did not vanish from the Iraqi battlefield. Remnants of Saddam’s toxic arsenal, largely destroyed after the Gulf War, remained. Jihadists, insurgents and foreign (possibly Iranian) agitators turned to these stockpiles during the Iraq conflict — and may have brewed up their own deadly agents.”

In 2008, our military shipped out of Iraq — on 37 flights in 3,500 barrels — what even The Associated Press called “the last major remnant of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program”: 550 metric tons of the supposedly nonexistent yellowcake. The New York Sun editorialized: “The uranium issue is not a trivial one, because Iraq, sitting on vast oil reserves, has no peaceful need for nuclear power. … To leave this nuclear material sitting around the Middle East in the hands of Saddam … would have been too big a risk.”

I read about this Yellowcake long ago.  They didn't dare mention it until they had it all shipped out of the country!!!  So, for all of the Libs out there, "HE TOLD YOU SO... NA NA NA NA NA NA!

Then why, one has to ask, didn't the Bush2 administration trumpet this find everywhere?  You cite a bit of op/ed from a Wired editor talking about the dismantled remains of WMD factories...which actually proved the Iraqi assertions that they dismantled their WMD infrastructure, which is the way everyone at the time, and since, has interpreted it, then you link it to a totally unattributed assertion that yellowcake uranium was shipped out of Iraq in plane loads, everyone knew about it, but nobody said anything about it, but somewhere in 400,000 wikileaks documents it's proven?  Sorry, I'm skeptical of everything until I see it for myself.

Please post a link to the document(s) in question from wikileaks to prove this claim.  I will gladly repost that evidence everywhere.  Thank you.
