If you can find the "missing 500lbs." of weapons grade Uranium  that
was made in DOE facilities" that is square one and provides you with a
hint. Parle Vous Francais ? Remember who wrote that.  George Will is an
undying ally of Isreal. While it is true that Isreal, in knocking that
Iraqi reactor out may, have saved a few countries, themselves included,
there was more going on than that which simply meets the eye. 
Remember, nation do not act against their own self interest just
because another nation asks them to give their power and the control
that comes with it.
Even more curious, but true.
