C'mon Powell:

In Colin Powell's address to the United Nations, he had this to say: (emphasis added)

Saddam Hussein already possesses two out of the three key components needed to build a nuclear bomb. He has a cadre of nuclear scientists with the expertise, and he has a bomb design.

Since 1998, his efforts to reconstitute his nuclear program have been focused on acquiring the third and last component, sufficient fissile material to produce a nuclear explosion.

Hey, why not six out of seven?

1. nuclear scientists
2. a bomb design
3. an assembly building
4. electric power to operate bomb-building machinery
5. skilled craftsmen
6. funds for the project
7. fissile material
