NEW YORK -- The United Nations' chief weapons inspector has called U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell (search) to complain about the impression some had that he was trying to influence the American presidential election.

But Powell told Mohamed ElBaradei (search), the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, to steer clear of the election and to stop talking to the press about 377 tons of explosives the IAEA said last week was missing from an Iraqi facility, a U.S. official told FOX News.

The two men had a telephone conversation Friday after ElBaradei was questioned by FOX News' Jonathan Hunt. ElBaradei told Hunt he was "absolutely not" trying to influence the election.

Hunt caught up with ElBaradei again Monday. But the IAEA head said he wound not comment on a private conversation with Powell.

I would not want to be El Baradei. It cannot be pleasant, or even bearable, to be on the receiving end of a tongue-lashing from General Powell. Ouch! No wonder he didn't want to comment on it. I bet he won't be able to sit down for a week.

Someone needs to tie a can to this twits tail and run him out of this country. We've got enough sewer rats of the home grown variety.

I hope they stay on the trail. It's good to see they're going after some of the questions I sent them, not that I think they couldn't have come up with the questions on their own.

ElBaradei is a scumbag and obvious pawn to Muslim interests. Probably has off shore bank accounts where Saudi, Iranian and other Muz donations are happily accepted. Same as Kofi.

And if ElBaradei was honest and upright, Muslims would threaten him with harming his family if he refuses to do their bidding.
