MI6... Again

From that pitiful nest of British intel:
LONDON -- Agents with Britain's MI6 intelligence agency who are based in the Middle East have established that 13 countries in the region have drawn up new plans -- or reviewed previous ones -- to build nuclear stations following in the path of Iran's push for an enriched uranium program capable of producing nuclear weapons, according to a report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

"It is clear that those countries are motivated by what Tehran is doing to enter into the nuclear weapons club," states an MI6 report.
No, that's not clear at all. What those 13 countries are doing is taking a hard look at the cost of oil and deciding that nuclear energy just might be the solution to their energy problems.

It's not the "nuclear weapons club" these places are interested in. It's the "nuclear power club" they want to join, and they're not looking at Iran, but France, where over 80% of their electricity is generated using nuclear energy.

And guess what? Not one death in France related to the generation of nuclear power, not one bug-eyed mutant wandering the streets and back alleys as a result. And their carbon footprint gets smaller every year.

And we laugh at the French. Short-sighted... that is.
