Venezuela to Develop Nuclear Energy With Russian Help

Sept. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuela President Hugo Chavez said the South American country plans to develop a nuclear energy program with Russia and doesn’t want to build an atomic bomb.

Chavez said that the country’s oil and gas reserves won’t last forever and the government will seek alternative energy sources. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin agreed to help Venezuela’s nuclear energy program during a meeting in Moscow last week, Chavez said.

“We’re not going to make an atomic bomb, so don’t bother us like with Iran,” he said on state television. “We’re going to develop nuclear energy with peaceful purposes.”

Chavez is a close ally of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who’s under international sanctions for continuing with the country’s nuclear energy program under suspicions by the U.S. and its allies that Iran is working toward making atomic weapons.

Robert Morgenthau, New York’s District Attorney, said last week that Venezuela may be helping Iran skirt sanctions imposed by the United Nations and the U.S. by transfering funds through the Venezuelan financial system.

Anybody who trusts 'ol Hugo, let me know.  I gots me some land to sell.   ::)

I am so glad that all these friends of 0Bama are toning down the rhetoric, and trying to be more peaceful "citizens of the world".  :whatever:

This particularly worrisome as Russia has a pretty poor track record with Nuclear Power Plants and control of fissionable materials. Just what we need is either a loss of certain fissionable materials or a Chernobyl in our back yard.

Yeah, and Chavez just taunted Obama about being a GWB clone. He knows we're weak now and that Obama is an ideological soulmate of his at heart.
