Put away the bottle.
Nasser died of a heart attack.
You are thinking of Anwar Sadat, Nasser's successor, who was offed by the Muslim Brotherhood, with whom El Baradei now aspires to form some sort of coalition ...

Mohamed ElBaradei, who has emerged as one of the leading opponents of the regime of President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, said Sunday that President Obama needed to press Mubarak to give up power and that failing to take more forceful action to make that happen will cost the United States "whatever is left" of its credibility.
"People expected the U.S. to be on the side of the people ... and to let go of a dictator, " ElBaradei said on ABC's "This Week."
ElBaradei said the response of Mubarak so far to the protests and calls for reform by the United States "doesn't even begin to address people's concerns. Peoples' concerns right now is Mubarak has to go, immediately. The first step, if we need to get out of this mess -- and it's total mess, security is not there, it's a total chaos situation right now -- first step, he has to go."

Apparently, he won a Nobel Piece Prize for doing something or other about nuclear non-proliferation. But even so, he seems to be a very brave fellow and not an outright scumbag. On the other hand, that's what the NY Times says, so you know it's probably a lie.
Make no mistake El Baradei is fully supported by Iran.....He is worse than scum...he IS bad news and I doubt if the people would support him as He is tied so tightly with Muslem Brotherhood and others of that like.
He is also backed by the Muslim Brotherhood.
BTW The Muslim Brotherhood has officially supported El Baradei.....
Yep....and as we watch things unfold you’ll see various terroists group stepping up for control. This is going to get hotter before any has control there.
Well, poor Zerobummer is confused, he’s not sure what to say. Tell the guy to have to have Soros and the ayatollah call each other to work out the text of what he’s supposed to say, then send it over and Daley’s people will feed the script into TOTUS.
Ha haaaaa!!! Joke's on you, El Baradei.
Vice-Idiot Joe Biden has already proclaimed that Mubarak is not a dictator.
.. he is the father of a nuclear Iran...
As a nuke non-proliferation guy, he should realize that the biggest Item on his unfinished to-do list lies to Egypt's east. And, if he doesn't want his adulating crowds to be (eminently justifiable) collateral damage, he'd better make sure Egypt does not threaten that Item!
Traditionally, smart departing dictators leave promptly, with lots of money, finding a friendly country for exile.
Dumb ones get a bullet.
It wasn’t that long ago that Nasser was pushed out of Egypt by bullets. Elbaradei needs to do his own housekeeping.
Elbaradei was in charge of the UN efforts to prevent Iran from building as bomb. Instead of doing this he covered up Iranian progress, and almost allowed it to happen. His Nobel prize should in in the great imposters category.

Hey Mohamed, this Hellfire missile is for you.
Screw the milk toast.
Huh? Nasser croaked in office and got a state funeral attended by at least five million.
You must be thinking of King Farouk, whom Nasser deposed in a military coup. Fats Farouk succumbed to overeating in exile (Rome, aged 45).
Oh he wants power! He needs a satisfactory result *today* when it comes to himself but paving the way for Iran to have nukes can go on for years and years till they finally have them.
And when the Iranians shoot off a nuke, ElBaradei will blame the US for that too.
Nasser croaked in office as a result of being shot multiple times by the Egyptian army during a military parade.
Oh, his body might have stayed in Egypt, but his soul departed.
The new rulers shed great big crocodile tears at his state funeral.
What could be worse than ElBaradei?

Jay [http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/258395/four-quick-points-jay-nordlinger] could not be more correct that Mohammed ElBaradei is a menace. He is more responsible than any non-Iranian for the progress the mullahs have made on their nuke program (with dishonorable mention to China and Russia) — although I think another Egyptian, Yasser Arafat, may have been a worse Nobel choice.
I also agree that, under the circumstances, Egypt could do worse than having ElBaradei running its government. Some perspective: the guy I convicted in 1995, Omar Abdel Rahman — the Blind Sheikh who issued the fatwa approving the murder of Anwar Sadat and tried energetically to have his successor, Hosni Mubarak, killed — was a great admirer of Ayatollah Khomeini Islamist revolution in Iran and hoped to replicate it (a Sunni version of it) in Egypt, with himself recognized as the top Islamic authority advising the sharia government.
We are beginning to see take shape, though, the something that could be worse than ElBaradei: ElBaradei in collusion with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Assuming the ouster of Mubarak, the Brotherhood has just announced its official support for the establishment of a transitional government under the direction of ElBaradei. In hearing Fox News report this, I was astonished to hear a correspondent opine that just because the Brotherhood is offering its support does not mean ElBaradei would want it.
A few days ago, ElBaradei gave an interview to Der Spiegel — Aaron Klein reported on it at WND yesterday. As Klein noted, ElBaradei is widely seen as a staunch ally of the Brotherhood (surprise!) and gave a spirited defense of them that was about as honest as his disclosures about the Iranian nuclear program used to be: “We should stop demonizing the Muslim Brotherhood,” he insisted.
According to ElBaradei, the Brothers “have not committed any acts of violence in five decades.” [ACM note: the Brotherhood killed Sadat in 1981; Hamas kills people everyday.] ElBaradei, who also admires President Obama ardently, said that the Brothers just “want change.” Thus, he concludes, “If we want democracy and freedom, we have to include them instead of marginalizing them.” [ACM: Yeah, just like we did with Hamas — and how’s that workin’ out?]
For its part, the Obama administration — which has made outreach to the Muslim Brotherhood and its American affiliates a policy priority — reciprocates ElBaradei’s admiration. Robert Gibbs said Friday that the president knows ElBaradei well and has worked closely with him.
By the way, ElBaradei also says “Israel is the number one threat to the Middle East,” and has expressed strong support for the Palestinian “resistance,” particularly in Hamas-controlled Gaza (which he calls “the world’s largest prison”), because, in his opinion, “the Israeli occupation only understands the language of violence.”
Makes you wonder how ElBaradei and the Muslim Brotherhood managed to find each other — they’re so very different. Amazing to see the forces that “change” brings together.

Ah, that would be a no — it was Anwar El Sadat after he'd concluded the Camp David Accords with the Israels.
After 12 days of negotiations between Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat, hosted by U.S. President Jimmy Carter, the Camp David Accords we signed on 17 September 1978. Signing of the Accords has led to nearly 33 years of relative peace between Egypt and Israel.
