Well that certainly worked well for Canada when we helped Pakistan and India develop their "peaceful nuclear program"

Well the difference here of course is that Saudi Arabia has no reason to ever want nuclear weapons., right?...right???

US to announce deal allowing Saudi Arabia a nuclear programme, reports say​

The US and Saudi Arabia are expected to announce a deal that will allow the Gulf kingdom to develop a civilian nuclear programme, according to US media reports.

An announcement is expected from US President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday, US officials were cited as saying.

The agreement could be worth billions of dollars to the US, whose companies could be involved in building a facility to produce enriched uranium, which can be used as fuel for power plants but also to make nuclear bombs.

Nuclear experts and former officials in Israel - the US's top ally in the Middle East - have voiced concern that the plan could ultimately lead to Saudi Arabia being able to develop a nuclear weapon.

The agreement would fulfil a long-held Saudi ambition but could attract concern in Israel and from some US lawmakers.

So saudi arabia can enrich their own uranium, but we HAVE to do it in the USA?

Well if that isn't a load of....

What could possibly go wrong with this .

C'mon, it's not as if the IAEA and that crowd won't be keeping an eye on things -- oh, wait ....

What is the US-Saudi Arabia nuclear deal and why is it causing concern?

The US will help Saudi Arabia establish a civilian nuclear program, but critics have said it could lead to domestic enrichment and set off a regional arms race

Part of me sees a satire/taking the piss over the whole "throwing paper towels to the crowd post-disaster in Puerto Rico" thing, but I'd expect that from anti-POTUS, not pro-POTUS folks.

Guess it's not just trade deals not being worth the signature right now. The ink is barely dry and he has a new condition.

Asked why that condition had not been included in the deal when it was announced Wednesday, Leavitt said that Trump is “always the final deal maker.”

The US is not the only route KSA can go to get nuclear power, there is China, France, India and Pakistan.

Number of U.S. Troop Deaths in Iran War Appears Lower on Pentagon Website

Three military officials and a Pentagon spokesman gave conflicting explanations for why the number of Americans killed in the Iran war had changed.

www.nytimes.com

On Wednesday, the Pentagon reported on its casualties website that a total of 18 American service members had been killed during the war in Iran.

By Thursday, the Defense Department had lowered that number, reporting that 14 American troops had been killed in the war.

Three military officials said that one reason behind the change was that the Trump administration decided to remove four service members killed this past weekend from the list — three in Jordan and one in northern Iraq — because their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April.

The officials described sensitive internal discussions on the condition of anonymity.

The acting press secretary for the Pentagon, Joel Valdez, attributed the change instead to “temporary data disruptions” on the website that he suggested would be quickly fixed.

Who to believe....
