WASHINGTON -- In a secret operation to secure nuclear material, the United States has helped Ukraine send to Russia enough uranium to build two atomic bombs.
This week's removal of more than 110 pounds (50 kilograms) of highly enriched uranium followed a pledge by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to get rid of all of his country's highly enriched uranium by April 2012. The material will be blended down in Russia, rendering it useless for bomb making.
Details of the operation were provided to The Associated Press by the National Nuclear Safety Administration.

Yeah, well it was negotiated by Obamy and his liege. But hey, it's a "reset" with Russia. No. Really, stop laughing. They promise to abide by the agreements.colt1rgr wrote:EDITED to Read:

2012 can't come soon enough. Hopefully we won't get nuked before then.
If you want to be successful at anything, you'll need to develop a never quit attitude. Don't let life happen to you. Grab it by the throat and make life dance to your tune.
