Who's enriched uranium is it anyway?

Mr. Obama is determined to set the pace for incompetence in world government by creating schemes that involve storing enriched uranium that belong to other nations in the United States. His motive is that if enriched uranium is kept in the United States it is less likely to be pilfered away from other nations by the so-called terrorists that are dying to get their hands on enough of the stuff to cobble together some sort of nuclear device even if they have to settle for something as simple as a dirty bomb.

It is not likely that Al-Qaeda and company could manage to get the people with the expertise and skill to assemble a fission nuclear device. It is also not likely that such a device could be assembled in a remote area or a cave. Assembling a fission nuclear device requires precision and rigid controls of the environment in which it is assembled.

Mr. Obama doesn’t delve into the details of how exactly this is being carried, but after digging into the issue and reading some other news articles it seems that this caretaker plan for the safekeeping of fissile material will be administered by the International Atomic Energy Agency which is a branch of the UN.  Nor does he mention that $50 million will be extracted from the American taxpayers pocket to support this effort. So far this appears to be the political magic mix of money and bureaucracy to safeguard us from terrorists playing around with enriched uranium or whatever they manage to get their hands on.

The quack premise of this plan also carries the assurance that the United States will not drop nuclear bombs on countries that don’t have the resources to build a fissile nuclear device. This sort of sounds like a guarantee carried out via blackmail.

This also brings to question whether or not other nations that already have nuclear weapons will be participants in this caretaker program. Will the monitoring by the UN and IAEA be enough? Will our enemies or rogue nations soon learn the ropes of this newly formed bureaucracy and find out how to wheel and deal to get the hands on fissile material anyway? Who will take responsibility if any of this material comes up missing? Can Mr. Obama answer for this?
