US unveils deals with Saudi on nuclear power, oil protection
The White House said Washington and Riyadh were also to sign an agreement
on nuclear cooperation that would clear the way for Saudi Arabia to receive
enriched uranium for its reactors, without the need to master the fuel nuclear
cycle itself as Iran has done.

I'd cry, but it takes to much energy and I always feel worse afterwards. And it's not like they're going to repay us by pumping more oil to lower prices.

I think one of the things that bothered me most about seeing this on the news tonight was that sick look on Bush's face, like Oliver asking for some more gruel. 15 of 19 of th 9/11 hijackers were Saudis. The kingdom has been funding madrassas that ship Wahabbism around the globe, and we're not only funding them with our oil usage, we're now giving them uranium.

Not to mention--oh, yeah--bin Laden, who says the core of jihad is the situation in "Palestine." Grr...
