well yeah, but why was he keeping yellowcake around? IIRC when South Africa under the new majority govt gave up its nukes it also gave up all its nuke ingredients as well. Same for Ukraine. There may be logical reasons for Saddam to have kept that stuff around, I just don't know. But as I said, it's not the sort of thing you can just wave the back of your hand and dismiss. On the other hand, there isn't much you can do with just plain yellowcake, as I understand the process. (Again, if others know more about the physics involved, please enlighten us.)
