Stunning arrogance and stupidity. I was amazed to hear Hillary Clinton rebuke the Russians for trying to complete their contract with Iran for construction of the nuclear power plant at Bushehr.

Foolish US foreign policy obsesses with Iranian support of Hezbollah and Hamas, and ignores entirely the Iranian effort to keep the Taleban from retaking power in Kabul.

I'd read elsewhere that Iran lacked this capability. If so, it's not in a position to force the West's hand on this 20% fuel swap matter. Do you know? Also, where did Iran get the 20% fuel plates being used by the TRR now? Eric P.S. Ahmadinejad mentioned that 800,000 patients will be affected if the TRR cannot produce medical isotopes because it runs out of 20% fuel (early next year, if not replenished). Alan,
