How much do I love that Michael J. Fox is sitting right next to Mrs. Heinz-Kerry. Rock the fuck on.

Which way did they go?

I'm sorry, but if this is true, it is so sick and sad, it's almost hysterical.

U.N.: Iraqi nuclear materials have vanished
Watchdog says entire facilities have been removed

UNITED NATIONS - Equipment and materials that could be used to make nuclear weapons are disappearing from Iraq, but neither Baghdad nor Washington appears to have noticed, the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency reported Monday.

Satellite imagery shows that entire buildings in Iraq have been dismantled. They once housed high-precision equipment that could help a government or a terrorist group make nuclear bombs, the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a report to the U.N. Security Council.

Equipment and materials helpful in making bombs have also been removed from open storage areas in Iraq and have disappeared without a trace, according to the satellite pictures, said Mohamed ElBaradei, director-general of the IAEA.

While some military goods that disappeared from Iraq after the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003, including missile engines, later turned up in scrap yards in the Middle East and Europe, none of the equipment or material known to the IAEA as potentially useful in making nuclear bombs has turned up yet, ElBaradei said.

The equipment — including high-precision milling and turning machines and electron-beam welders — and materials like high-strength aluminum were tagged by the IAEA years ago, as part of the watchdog agency’s shutdown of Iraq’s nuclear program. U.N. inspectors then monitored the sites until their evacuation from Iraq just before the war.

The United States barred the inspectors’ return after the war, preventing the IAEA from keeping tabs on the equipment and materials up to the present day.

Under anti-proliferation agreements, the U.S. occupation authorities who administered Iraq until June, and then the Iraqi interim government that took power at the end of June, would have to inform the IAEA if they moved or exported any of that material or equipment.

But no such reports have been received since the invasion, officials of the watchdog agency said.

The United States also has not publicly commented on earlier U.N. inspectors’ reports disclosing the dismantling of a range of key weapons-making sites, raising the question of whether it was unable to monitor the sites.

Soooo, that would be those weapons of mass destruction related activities we were so excited about, no? It's a good think the rationale for war was Sadaam abusing the oil-for-food program, or this would be pretty embarassing.
