"According to the letter, the United States informed the IAEA on June 30 that approximately 1.8 tons of uranium, enriched to a level of 2.6%, another 6.6 pounds of low-enriched uranium, and approximately 1,000 highly radioactive sources had been transferred on June 23."

2.6% is technically "Slightly Enriched Uranium", where as "Low Enriched Uranium" can be up to 20% enriched, and is a much different bird

Now here is where it gets, well, just beautiful:

"n 1992, after the first Gulf War, all highly enriched uranium — which could be used to make nuclear weapons — was shipped from Iraq to Russia, the IAEA's Zlauvinen said.

After 1992, roughly 2 tons of natural uranium, or yellow cake, some low enriched uranium and some depleted uranium was left at Tuwaitha under IAEA seal and control, he said.

So were radioactive items used for medical, agricultural and industrial purposes, which Iraq was allowed to keep under a 1991 U.N. Security Council resolution, Zlauvinen said. "

So your smoking gun here, well, isn't. At all. The UN, US and the world knew it was there, had intentionally left it there, and so its awful hard to claim that we went there after 'Secret WMD' that included these highschoolers 'Radioactivity Lab in a Box' set pieces.

Bloviate away, though. Huff and Puff and spit out another link full of bullshit, revisionism, and crap. I know nothing I say will change your mind.
