UAE Ambassador: If Iran Can Enrich Uranium, So Can We

The ObamaNuke deal is really working out well. Don't worry, there'll be an official denial of this soon enough. Just like the last time a Sunni Gulf Muslim official stated that they were going nuclear. This way the SmartPower gang can keep living in a bubble that pretends their failed foreign policy is successful.

Representative Ed Royce (R-CA), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the UAE Ambassador to the US Yousef al-Otaiba told him over the phone that the UAE is no longer bound by its previous nuclear agreement with the US, in a troubling sign of a regional nuclear arms race that Saudi Arabia has already indicated it will likely take part in.

"He told me, 'your worst enemy has achieved this right to enrich. It's a right to enrich now that your friends are going to want, too, and we won't be the only country,'" Royce told The Associated Press.

The US made an agreement with the UAE in 2009, promising to aid the Gulf state in producing nuclear energy in return for the UAE promising not to enrich uranium or reprocess spent fuel to extract plutonium, both of which are processes to build a nuclear weapon.

The UAE Embassy in Washington wrote that the "government has not formally changed its views or perspective on the 123 Agreement or commitments," referring to the 2009 agreement.

They got that "formally" in there. These guys are learning to write press releases like Obama. Maybe they'll just informally go nuclear... like Iran.

Obama claims that the Gulfies don't need nukes because Iran won't go nuclear and in any case, he'll protect them. Only an idiot would believe either of those things and no one outside the liberal bubble is that stupid.

So we've got a nuclear arms race in the region. Must be part of Obama's plan for Nuclear Zero and a nuclear free world.
