U.N. Atom Chief Warns of "Fireball" if Iran Attacked

So be it!

[Anti-Bubba182]

"....prompt Tehran to launch a crash course to build nuclear weapons. "

What does this idiot think is going on now?

[allmost]

The advice is to run and hide.

Anybody happen to know where, from what home nation, Mohamad ElBaradei originally hails.

[I see my hands]

To: Mohamad ElBaradei

"A military strike, in my opinion, would be worse than anything"

Anything? Worse than anything? You're a dangerous simpleton.

[upsdriver]

My advice is for a limited strike......... on the U.N.

A balls to the wall stike on Iran.

[allmost]

I’d love to joke with you friend...

[BunnySlippers]

A fireball in the Middle East. Hmm ...

[spyone]

This man comments more on areas outside his jurisdiction than anyone I’ve seen. Why can’t he just become proficient at his appointed task. He’s had a decade to become conpetent, but has failed miserably.

[HelloooClareece]

He’s from Cairo, Egypt.

A fireball in the Middle East. Hmm ...

And the downside to all this would be...???

[LjubivojeRadosavljevic]

"If you do a military strike, it will mean that Iran, if it is not already making nuclear weapons, will launch a crash course to build nuclear weapons with the blessing of all Iranians, even those in the West."

Hate to say it...but the secret is already out of the bottle - thanks Khan and Pakistan.

Anyway, a sudden attack on Iran, will yield - in the short run - an increase in the popularity of the Iranian regime (amongst the Iranian People).

Keep that in mind.

[SatinDoll]

Thank you very much. That explains a great deal.

[Drill Thrawl]

He knows what’s going on. He is just stalling for more time so ImADinnerJacket can get the bombs built. This man, like everyone in the UN, is not to be trusted.

[HardStarboard]

Egypt...but he is obviously working for Iran's interests.

This should put him at odds with Mubarak who has expressed worry about an Iranian nuclear ambitions.

Anyone who thinks ElBaradei is a dedicated non-partisian UN diplomat just isn't paying attention.

[upsdriver]

:) I was only half kidding!

[Drill Thrawl]

Hear! Hear! I second the motion of my esteemed colleague from soon to be Bambiville!

The Egyptians hate the Israelis because the Israelis humiliated them militarily.

That’s what happens when Arabs fight to the last Egyptian. The behavior of Arab leaders is what compelled Sadat to compromise and seek a peace agreement with Israel. All it got him was a bullet.

ElBaredi was an Arab League sympathiser who has morphed into an pro-Islamist activist within the halls of the UN.
