Obama OKs nuclear deal with United Arab Emirates | Jerusalem Post

President Barack Obama agreed Wednesday to share US nuclear power technology with the oil-rich United Arab Emirates, giving his consent to a deal signed in the final days of George W. Bush's administration.

The pact now goes to Congress, which will have 90 days to amend or reject it.

The agreement creates a legal framework for the US to transfer sensitive nuclear items to the United Arab Emirates, a federation of seven Middle Eastern states that wants nuclear power to satisfy growing demand for electricity.

Although flush with oil, the emirates imports 60 percent of the natural gas they use to generate electricity. The United Arab Emerates wants to break its dependence on outside sources for its energy needs and settled on nuclear power as the best option.

I feel their pain.
If they only had a plentiful local source for its energy needs...

If only another importer of petroleum products would turn to more nuclear power to generate electricity…

Just because this is confusing to me
lets see.
We cant drill in our own country but we can continue sending billions to the middle east to purchase the oil.
we cant have nuclear power in our country becuase its not safe and the waste is harmful to the environment, yet we can give the technology to the arabs so they can save money.

exactly who is obama the president of?

treason, and nothing less is what he is guilty of.
