If such is the case than we just have a tempest in a teapot.

Just for kicks anyone know whether spent nuclear fuel is subject to IAEA safeguards?

During the Cold War era, the former Soviet Union required their satellite states in E. Europe to return their spent fuel rods.

The entire State Department, top to bottom, needs to be cleaned out. Gone – the lot of them. Their agenda is not in the best interests of this Nation. Same thing with the non-operational parts of the CIA. Way too many leftists and apologists in both outfits.

When things don’t work – get rid of them and start over from scratch.

Like Lenin said, “the capitalists will sell us the rope we will use to hang them with.” This isn’t new–Italian merchants sold giant cannon to the Muslims for profit. The Muslims dragged the cannon to Constantinople (now Istanbul in Turkey) and destroyed the walls that had protected the city for almost a thousand years. A truly horrible bloodbath resulted, and the roots of the Ottoman Empire were planted.

Like Yogi said, “Deja Vu all over again!”

dude,

the giant cannon wasn’t a factor in the fall of constantinople. At best, it was an annoyance for the defenders, and they were able to repair the walls after each shot which took something like 3 hours to to reload a cannon. the cannon balls were said to have weighed something like 500lbs. Btw, the giant cannon wasn’t sold by the Italian merchants. It wouldn’t have made sense for the Italians merchants to sell cannon tech to the muslims as they had trade relations with what was left of the Byzantine Empire. It was built and developed by a Hungarian cannon engineer.

The city fell because the defenders committed a serious mistake. Basically, they accidentally left the one of the gates unlocked. And the Ottoman Turks were able to conquer the city thru this way. Incidentally, it was also the same place where the renagade Crusaders entered to sack the city 100 years before.

I’m guessing See-Dubya actually does know the reason but doesn’t want to say. If not, google it. Hint: there is a reason.

lgm, could you possibly be a little more ambiguous? I want my head to explode.

NOTE: For you civilians DEFCON = Defense Condition. During the Cold War SAC (Strategic Air Command) was always in DEFCON 3 with Bomber, Tankers, and ground launched Missiles ready to launch in minutes should the Commies try to pull a Pearl Harbor on us. The lower the DEFCON number goes the worse it gets until you hit DEFCON 1 or as we called then, “bend over and kiss your butt good bye time.”

Waiiiit… the Saudis don’t have energy sources? What’s all that gooey stuff under the sand?

Besides, we need the nuclear power plants here to run all those electric cars that Barry O. wants us to have.
