Russia wants to build more nuke reactors for Iran

[maddezmom]

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia wants to construct up to six new nuclear reactors for Iran, despite U.S. criticism of its assistance to the Islamic republic, Moscow's top nuclear boss was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

Russia has pressed ahead with construction of Iran's first nuclear power plant near the southern city of Bushehr, dismissing Washington's belief that Tehran could use Moscow's technology and know-how to make an atom bomb. "When Iran announces new tenders to construct nuclear reactors, we'll take part in them," Alexander Rumyantsev, head of Russia's Atomic Energy Agency, told Itar-Tass news agency.

"Tehran intends to build another six nuclear reactors."

Rumyantsev's remarks came just days after Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow would continue developing nuclear ties with Iran after ultra-conservative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's election as president of the Islamic Republic last week.

1. bush** & Company's war has made this country a laughing stock.

Every other country on earth knows that the military is stretched beyond its capabilities, that we're bankrupting ourselves, and that this government will soon be as impotent as Bob Dole.

2. It is true, sadly

we as a nation had Bush STEAL our political capital. We are a crippled nation on the world stage now.

That's why i don't fear the Bolton nomination anymore, Bolton is already neutered, people are gonna laugh at him when he goes to the UN. And certainly, everyone is going to want to show the Bully that he can't bully them! He is in for a big surprise.

3. Just when you think it can't get any worse...

It does. This administration reminds me of a child who has gotten caught in a lie and then simply repeats the lie with his hands over his ears.

But what we can't avoid is the fact that this electorate voted them BACK in^%#(!!!!!
