A Republican senator (click here) is trying to block the Obama administration from buying nuclear materials from Iran.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) this week filed an amendment to an energy and water appropriations bill that would bar the government from using federal funds to buy Iran's heavy water, which can be used in nuclear reactors.
“It seems the president will go to any lengths to protect his nuclear deal,” Cotton said in a statement. “We’ve given the terror-sponsoring Iranian regime enough concessions at the risk of our security; we should not further subsidize its enrichment activity by making repeated purchases of this material."
Yet the move by Cotton underscores the lingering anger over the Obama administration’s dealings with Iran following President Obama's nuclear pact with the country....
Pure, unadulterated hatred of President Obama's administration is the ONLY reason the amendment was written.
How much of a moron is Tom Cotton?
...If ever there was a win-win program, (click here) this was it. “This is the only time in history when disarmament was actually profitable,” Anton Khlopkov, director of the Moscow-based Center for Energy and Security Studies, told NPR. The 1993 HEU purchase agreement between the United States and Russian governments, known informally as Megatons to Megawatts, not only eliminated 500 metric tons of surplus weapons-grade uranium from Russian stockpiles, but also generated nearly 10 percent of all the electricity consumed in the United States (about half of all US nuclear power) during the past 15 years—a whopping total of around 7 trillion kilowatt-hours of energy.
Under the program, conceived and championed by MIT physicist Thomas L. Neff, the Russians “downblended” highly enriched uranium by diluting it with lower-grade uranium, and sold this mixture to the United States for $17 billion—a bargain for US ratepayers, even though Russia estimated earnings of $12 billion from the deal. Rosatom, the Russian Federation’s national nuclear corporation, plans to continue selling uranium to the United States beyond 2013, but at a much higher market price. In the meantime, US uranium concentrate production rose sharply in 2013, reaching its highest level since 1997, in part to offset the winding-down of Megatons to Megawatts....
A really big moron. Tom Cotton outshines any other moron in Congress that uses OUR GOVERNMENT to play politics.
The USA has always been in a place to purchase nuclear material and remove it from the landscape. It is called national security. The nuclear material purchases have operated in complete transparency to insure Americans and other governments were assured none of the nuclear material had fallen in the hands of those that can cause deaths, injury and long term effects of any exposure.
REALLY BIG MORON! It is amazing the level of hate of President Obama that exists with morons.
