Mahdi Obeidi told U.S. agents in Iraq he was ordered in 1991 to hide documents and parts for a centrifuge to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons.Lemme guess, the CIA must have planted that evidence there. Or better yet, just outright denial. Democrat Underground just started a thread to debate the WMD findings. The thread is short, but has this gem: "What's to debate? Uh, we have here some round metal things that might have been used to make something sometime...""A box of parts and a bunch of documents were buried under the rose bushes in his backyard," one U.S. official told Fox News.
Obeidi also said he was told the materials should remain buried in the backyard of his Baghdad home until sanctions against Iraq ended, when they would be dug up and used to reconstitute a program to enrich uranium to make a nuclear weapon.
And this one: "They look suspiciously like car parts to me... I'm sure you could dig around in my garage and find parts real similar to those [nuke parts] camophaged [sic] as a washing machine...."
The best part is that they are glued to the Fox News Channel, and are hating every minute of it. It must be the Notre Dame Syndrome*.

See Talking Points Memo on this - he points out that this was pre-91 and that the program apparently was NOT reconstituted.
