[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2919609, member: 58386"] That so called sale to Russia? That sale had to go through 9 separate authorizations and in the end it never left the country. At the time the US government was in sequestration and the US Department of Energy was running out of money to store it's uranium. The proposal was to sell some of it's NON WEAPONS GRADE uranium stocks to Russia in a budgetary driven move but in the end it never left the country. Keep in mind something else. In 2007 the going price for a pound of uranium was $ 140. Today it sells for $25. The world is buried in uranium and Russia has within it's borders some of the world's largest reserves of uranium. It was cheaper to buy some from us than mine it themselves , not to mention the tons of uranium recovered from all of the ICBM's it had to dismantle under arms reduction deals. Once again Rush Limbaugh and Fox News only told you only that part of the story they wanted you to hear. [/QUOTE]
