A lot of denial going on - how about dirty bombs.
They had cannon shells with capsule holes. Instead of Gas,
a diluted batch of yellow cake in an air burst over a village or battalion.

U.S. Removes Uranium From Iraqi Nuclear


From Snopes:

The item reproduced in the example block above cites the July 2008
removal of yellowcake from Iraq as proof that Iraq had in fact been
buying yellowcake in an attempt to restart its nuclear program (and
ultimately produce nuclear weapons) before the U.S. invasion of March
2003, and that therefore the Bush administration was right and Joseph
Wilson was wrong. However, that claim is erroneous.

The yellowcake removed from Iraq in 2008 was material that had long
since been identified, documented, and stored in sealed containers
under the supervision of U.N. inspectors. It was not a "secret"
cache that was recently "discovered" by the U.S, and the yellowcake
had not been purchased by Iraq in the years immediately preceding the
2003 invasion. The uranium was the remnants of decades-old nuclear
reactor projects that had put out of commission many years earlier: One
reactor at Al Tuwaitha was bombed by Israel in 1981, and another was
bombed and disabled during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Moreover,
the fact that the yellowcake had been in Iraq since before the 1991
Gulf War was plainly stated in the Associated Press article cited in
the example above.

...

Or, as theINew York Times/I stated more plainly:

The yellowcake removed from Iraq was not the same yellowcake that
President Bush claimed, in a now discredited section of his 2003
State of the Union address, that Mr. Hussein was trying to purchase
in Africa.
