Just another UN flunky spouting UN opinions. I hope he does resign. He has been an utter failure. Maybe next time we can get someone who is not muslim and probably sympathetic to the radical cause. But what I really wish is that we would abandon the UN entirely. How long does anyone think they could survive without us paying most of the bills.

Timmy, the main thing Al Baradei was doing in the interview was whining about how he would resign his post if Iran were bombed; as if that would be so catastrophic that we might think twice before doing it. The guy is as full of himself as Obama.

I always think of resigning in the event of a military strike.

Interviewer: You will resign in the event that…

Muhammad Al-Baradei: If military force is used, I would conclude that there is no mechanism left for me to defend.

Interviewer: This is a threat directed at the Americans – if you strike, I will resign.

Muhammad Al-Baradei: I am not doing this for material profit. If I was working in the private sector, I would… I am doing this out of the conviction that I am defending shared values. If we deviate from these shared values…

Interviewer: So there is no justification for an attack…

Muhammad Al-Baradei: The day I believe that the international system has begun to collapse is the day I will resign.

Self-absorption is not a pretty sight to behold.

He said that IF the US attacked Iran, IF Iran then decided to withdraw from the NPT, IF iran magaged to get Natanz operational, THEN iran would need a “minimum” of 6-12 months to make one bomb

That was not what Al Baradei said either.

You could not possibly have watched the video or read the excerpts and then come up with those conclusions.

You accuse others of lying to us and then you try and get away with blatant dishonesty yourself.

Timmy, either you are clueless or you think we are.

Course, that was not what ElBaradei said at all, was it?
He said that IF the US attacked Iran, IF Iran then decided to withdraw from the NPT, IF iran magaged to get Natanz operational, THEN iran would need a “minimum” of 6-12 months to make one bomb — but he also said that Iran’s current nuclear program is not threatening and does not justify any such attack.

See, you’ve been lied to, and you’re repeating it like a good little parrot.

Now go and fetch me some WMDs from Iraq, you sheeple.

Sorry, probably should have said “contemporaneous.” Then again, Mahmoud is an odd looking fellow isn’t he?

Actual Hell? Well that might literally scare voters to death.

I can understand Bush using the Israelis to do this deed. It absolves him with the dems. If his administration did it the dems would scream and yell “impeachment”. I swear I think the dems are in the pockets of Iran and probably Saudi Arabia also. We know they are in the pockets of Chavez and Castro. But both the US and Israel should realize that we have over 100,000 troops next door to Iran and they would be sitting ducks for Iran’s nukes. Does anyone think Ahadinnerjacket would care if millions of Iraqis were killed with an atomic bomb? Not as long as our troops were killed also. This is all dangerous and another example of the treason of the dem obstruction party. I doubt that they would care if our soldiers or the Iraqis died in a blast from Iran. So much collateral in their march to political power. Iran must be stopped at all costs. Never mind the polls. Never mind the will of the people. Most of them don’t realize the danger we are all in. They are too wrapped up in American Idol and Paris Hilton to care.
