WHAT THE IRAQ SURVEY GROUP FOUND ABOUT SADDAM'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM

I post this as a rebuttal to the wingnuts' lie about the uranium.

DCI Special Advisor Report on Iraq's WMD, Chapter 4, section 1:

Iraq did not possess a nuclear device, nor had it tried to reconstitute a capability to produce nuclear weapons after 1991.

ISG has uncovered no information to support allegations of Iraqi pursuit of uranium from abroad in the post-Operation Desert Storm era.

Iraq did not reconstitute its indigenous ability to produce yellowcake.

Post-1991, Iraq had neither rebuilt any capability to convert uranium ore into a form suitable for enrichment nor reestablished other chemical processes related to handling fissile material for a weapons program.

Available evidence leads ISG to judge that Iraq’s development of gas centrifuges for uranium enrichment essentially ended in 1991.

ISG also judges that Iraq continued work on none of the many other uranium enrichment programs explored or developed prior to 1991, such as EMIS or lasers.

It does not appear that Iraq took steps to advance its pre-1991 work in nuclear weapons design and development.
