(Reuters) - The U.S. military did not provide any coolant for a Japanese nuclear plant affected by a massive earthquake on Friday, U.S. officials said.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier had said that U.S. Air Force "assets" had delivered "some really important coolant" to a Japanese nuclear power plant.

Why didn’t they just create coolant from water, like the majority of nuclear power plants in the free world?

Can you blame her? Just just read today that the intern that was blowing her husband all the while in the Whitehouse still yearns for him!

When I heard this report, since it was "coolant", it must have been a
liquid sodium cooled core, and the US was replacing the backup supply.

Foggy Bottom strike again.

LMAO!

There is a reason nuke plants are built near water -DUH!

The coolant is already there -no 'bringing' needed!

Hillary has yet again proven she is another clueless yet highly educated leftist bureaucrat.

Well, that is an incredibly low bar. Nothing in this episode changes that, for me.

Neither Hillary or Obama are competent enough to take the 3 AM phone call.

Damn it. I actually had something nice to say about this administration when I heard Hillary say we’d supplied coolant. I should’ve known better.

In a statement that confused nuclear experts, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday morning that U.S. Air Force planes in Japan had delivered "coolant" to a nuclear power plant affected by the quake.

State Department officials later said that Clinton had misspoken. "We understand that ultimately the Japanese government handled the situation on its own," said spokesman Marc Toner.


... and when she said she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. Look for the union label. Alright, everyone shake your heads in unison.

Nuclear power’s failure is DEMOCRAT GAIN

ABC radio news was hammering away at the nuclear-is-dangerous angle a few minutes ago. Said to expect tighter regulations and fewer new reactor startups. Their glee was palpable of course.

it should have been better prepared for emergencies.

I hope you are not slighting the Japanese. There is only so much humans can prepare for these circumstances.

Could this have been misinformation given to her to prevent a 2012 primary challenge from Hillary?
