Agreed. Russia could tell Odumba to start jumping, and he would start jumping! Maybe that's one thing he could do well?
03/09/02 ?? Some 600 Russian technicians â with 2000 more expected to arrive by the year's end â have begun assembling heavy equipment that will form a key part of the first reactor at a nuclear power plant in Iran. http://www.bellona.no/bellona.org/e...ional/russia/nuke_industry/co-operation/25570
Pure bullshit. This facility is a civilian pressurized light water reactor for producing electricity. No ifs, no buts - that is it's purpose. Russia is supplying the fuel and taking the spent fuel back. Iran is absolutely entitled as a signatory to the NPT to this peaceful use of nuclear power. It contravenes no UN resolutions. It has nothing to do with uranium enrichment facilities. The fuel consists of pellatized low enriched uranium with cladding inside fuel rods. There in no way to make this stuff into a bomb. Period. Russia is taking back the used fuel, which in any case cannot be used to make a bomb without reprocessing facilities to extract plutonium to weapons grade purity, that Iran does not posses. To make it clear - This plant is a threat to nobody
Try explaining this to Israel. Israel is desperate to bomb Iran ever since one of the Iranian leaders said something like this "We will wipe out Israel from this earth".
I don't believe that Israel is desperate to bomb anyone. I believe they want peace as much as anyone else. Someone's been threatening to wipe Israel off the map for decades.
(I've seen authoritative sites that say the Bushehr reactor DOES produce U-239 and others that say that it DOESN'T. I'm sure the Isrealies know for sure and will take appropriate action or inaction.) "......It matters because, once fueled and operational, Bushehr will produce plutonium 239, which can be used to make nuclear weapons....." http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/bomb-irans-bushehr-nuclear-reactor
