Saddam Hussein's 550 metric ton stockpile of yellowcake, a concentrated natural uranium, reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.
Yellowcake is the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment used in nuclear weapons. While yellowcake alone is not considered potent enough for a so-called dirty bomb which is a conventional explosive that disperses radioactive material it could stir widespread panic if incorporated in a blast.
Soap Box Ravings says there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. That yellowcake must have been left there by the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
