Ping!
Typical muslim argument. Before, Iran was just breaking the agreement a little bit. But now that they are going full tilt, we have to leave them alone. Before was 'too early.' Now is 'too late.'
Kind of like a guy trying to break into your house. If you shoot him when he touches to doorknob, it's too early. If you shoot him while he's carrying your TV down the front steps, it's too late. So why didn't Mr. ElBaradei scream a while ago, "Shoot him now!"
This guy has no business being in charge.
While the IAEA made some progress on monitoring the enrichment facilities, ElBaradei's report also expressed its concerns about Iran refusing to provide the UN nuclear watchdog with design information on its heavy water plant at Arak.
ElBaradei's report criticised Iran's continued refusal to allow the IAEA inspectors to visit a heavy water reactor now under construction at the central city of Arak and linked facilities, after it unilaterally curtailed an agreement with the agency earlier this year.

I used to wholeheartedly support and admire Bush and his administration - I thought he had the potential to be one of our greatest Presidents - but, it’s like someone, somewhere, threw a switch & they turned into different people! Cheney, I’ve not heard much from to say about him - I still admire this guy & wish HE were our President now, instead of Bush. Condoleeza, I had such high hopes for....
Has some advisor that was running the whole show gone? Or were they just faking us out until they could get re-elected for a second term? Did they not believe these things they told us? Has something changed that they are not telling us about? I just feel so left out of the process, I feel like I’m in the dark here - this is horrible!
It’s like they’ve been replaced with pod people.
Mohammad El Baradei is nothing more than an Iranian/anti-US enabler (his wife is Iranian). He’s still in Hans Blix’s and Kofi Anan’s corner in opposing the US anyway he can. Remember the “shocking” report El Baradei released just before the 04” election blaming the US military 100% (George Bush) for not securing an Iraqi military weapons depot during the initial push by coalition forces? That “report” had one sole purpose, to sting Bush and bolster Kerry, nothing more. El Baradei, the US knows your motives, biases and intentions, and as to your friends in Tehran, well, their days are numbered.
The coming war with Iran will be an Air and Naval war not a ground war. I expect to start it with a surprise attack on the Iranian terrorist regime nuclear facilities and some other military infrastructures. This 1st phase will take 5 to 7 days of intensive bombing. If Iranian terrorist regime responds with attacking oil tankers, or attacking oil facilities in the Gulf region, or attacking our Navy ships in the Gulf, or our bases in Iraq and other places sin the Gulf, then the Air and Naval war will expend dramatically and our Air Force and Navy will go into destroying the major military infrastructure of the terrorists mullahs, their command and control centers, and very possibly a lot of their refinery infrastrastrcures but not their oil production facilities.
“The latest Security Council deadline to Iran expired more than a week ago, yet the chief result of a meeting last Thursday between Ali Larijani, Iran’s top security official, and Javier Solana, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, was an agreement to meet again in about two weeks.”
Typical UN. “We agree to meet again in two weeks to meet again at some time in the future”.
This article isn’t worth the bandwidth its written on.
for those playing along at home, Rice and Cheney both work for the President.
But only one of the two gained 60 million popular votes. The other was appointed.
