Ah geeze! What is it with us and Russia, since the 'end of the cold war'? They're headed straight back to the old commie way, as long as Putin is in charge. Or, is it just me that sees that?

"clear the way for Russia to import and store thousands of tons of spent nuclear fuel"

Russia doesn't want this stuff just to store it in its own version of Yucca Mountain.

Reminds me of the scrap metal we sent to Japan before World War Two. It came back to bite us.

Mr. Bush is stepping on his Johnson again.

Now hold on one minute. I thought Russia was depending on us to get rid of a lot of spent fuel they had at understaff facilities. I realize the Ukraine is also an issue on this one, but of course they must be dealt with as individual countries now.
Something is not right on this one. At any rate. Gotta get ready for work. Welcome back to the boards.

"Bush resisted such a move for years, insisting that Russia first stop building a nuclear power station for Iran near the Persian Gulf. But U.S. officials have shifted their view of Russia's collaboration with Iran and concluded that President Vladimir Putin has become a more constructive partner in trying to pressure Tehran to give up any aspirations for nuclear weapons."

Bush, my friends, has completely gone over the edge---and he aint comin' back.

Seems like we never learn...Russia did nothing to help with Afghanistan, Iraq or N. Korea. Perverted Putin has been a stumbling block..not to mention helping Iran with nukes and helping Saddam get rid of his WMD's. Bush should tell Putin to go "screw himself"!!
