If you're in the mood for some utterly fatuous drivel, look no further. Yes, documents relating to work done before the first Gulf War prove that Saddam was "as little as a year away" from building an atomic bomb in 2003, despite the fact that all of his nuclear facilities had been destroyed. Wibble...
Oh, I could be at it all day but here's just one point from many possibilities. You can't make atomic bombs out of yellowcake. You need a substantial quantity of large scale specialised manufacturing equipment to turn yellowcake into uranium suitable for making atomic weapons. These are not easily hidden facilities; they're bloody great industrial complexes.
Many people have looked very hard and have come to the inescapable conclusion that Saddam's Iraq did not have these facilities in 2003. (Iran, however, does.)
The article linked above is just one of many such articles. Media Matters has more on the way Fox News presenters helped to create, promote and maintain the lie.
Digby has some thoughts on the subject of the shameless liars who cheer for the Republicons (via).
