Such a tiny amount and people are freaking out…
The United States cannot fully account for more than 16,000 kilograms tons of weapons-grade uranium and plutonium that it has shipped to 27 “friendly” countries in recent decades, and it lacks any coherent policy to track down the materials, a Government Accountability Office report concluded late last week. In fact, according to auditors, the country’s atomic accounting is so shoddy that the International Atomic Energy Agency—the same agency sent to search for Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction—could potentially find the United States in violation of its international anti-proliferation treaty obligations. Even as it has fretted about Iranian nuclear proliferation and alleged Iraqi purchases of yellowcake uranium from Africa, the United States has lost track of enough fissile material to make hundreds of nuclear warhead cores.

Welcome to the real world…

Ah yes, Goldman-Romeny is so much better than Goldman-Obama or Goldman-Clinton, or Goldman-Bush were. Are Americans really that foolish??

These smugglers are so stupid, last time I heard a report of them smuggling uranium they opened the canister to keep warm. It’s a wonder they haven’t stolen enough to go critical mass somewhere in the woods of russia.

Odd that this story appears just weeks before Obama is to be removed from office by the American electorate……….you don’t think he’d take out a city to declare martial law and postpone elections??? Think again, to Dems, power is EVERYTHING.

Nothing like investing in the “enemy” – anything for a few bucks profit I guess.

But most of us already know this about Romney.

The only clueless trolls here today are the ones who don’t think that Putin’s Russia is “the” biggest geo-political threat we face

For every reported incident there are 10 unreported ones. No doubt there are many countries who deal with unsecured supplies such as these.

Iran doesn’t need to make their own U-235 or U-238 when they can simply buy it off Comrade-bay.
