I wonder who writes these things (and why)? I suppose if you get away with a viral internet hoax you feel relatively clever.
Once you figure out it is not gold, it is no longer certain whether it (the tanker or the metal) is Saddam's either.

Its probably just the work of bush's war propaganda machine.

I'm glad someone here already checked the legitimacy of this story. I was wondering about it myself as I thought about how filling that tanker half full of gold would be a bit more more weight than it was designed for.
With people so eager to eat this stuff up I can see why so many americans still cling to our current regime's WMD BS.
