As far as the aluminum tubes go, which part did you dispute again? Because ElBaradei will use them tomorrow as an example of why his agency has continuing concern.
What happened to all those weaponized biological material in S Africa. We (including UN) are also concerned. Should we attack S Africa? Concern also over how Japan stores most of the world's plutonium. Should we attack Japan? Even a Tony Blair report ealier this year doubted those aluminum tubes were for nuclear processing. Eliminate George Jr hype & fear, and those aluminum tubes are but a trivial point that inspectors always search for and verify. So trivial as to not be reported if George Jf did not hype war.

ElBaradei says tubes are another reason to continue weapons inspections. George Jr has already declared those aluminum tubes as reason for war. George Jr also says weapons inspectors are a waste of time. George Jr need no facts because George Jr already knows those tubes are for evil - facts be damned. Those aluminum tubes only prove that George Jr really does not want facts. He even opposed more inspectors! Why? They might discover these WMD don't exist!

Those aluminum tubes are a desperate ploy by George Jr to hype something trivial into war while demanding inspectors as useless. Far more dangerous than those aluminum tubes are nuclear bombs in Pakistan, Israel, and India? Why does George Jr not hype and fear those dangers? Because those bombs cannot be used like Kuwait baby incurbators - to hype war, promote hate, and advocate fear.

When those tubes appear in a nuclear processing machine, only then are they newsworthy. Anyone hyping those aluminum tubes today is also hyping a need for duct tape and gas masks. More fear. Those tubes are a non issue once the George Jr hate, hype, and fear is eliminated. Those aluminum tubes only demonstrate why inspections shoudl continue and why war is not justified.
