That’s a guess and no way to prove it until it’s a done thing. Regardless, it’s no excuse to sit on our hands and wait for devastation to be unleashed by those retards.

Refusing to attack an enemy because it might... for the shortest possible term, cause an indig population with nearly zero effective military enhancement capability to be slightly more favorable to the thugs that oppress them...

Not even worth considering as a reason not to obliterate an openly hostile and aggressively malignant nation. If the Iranian people are stupid enough to not use an attack by us, or someone else, to turn on their oppressors and wipe them from the face of the earth themselves, then woe be unto them, for they would earn themselves the destruction that comes upon them.

Egypt is also the birthplace of that bizarro conglomeration of rabid islamism and eurper pomoism and fascism with over tones of idiot socialist revolutionism that is the Muslim Brotherhood.

If you attacked Iran and there wasn’t a fireball, wouldn’t that mean you were doing it wrong?

Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei is the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), an intergovernmental organization that is part of the United Nations system. He was appointed to the office effective 1 December 1997, and reappointed to a third term in September 2005.

From 1984, Dr. ElBaradei was a senior staff member of the IAEA Secretariat, holding a number of high-level policy positions, including Agency’s Legal Adviser and subsequently Assistant Director General for External Relations.

Dr. ElBaradei was born in Cairo, Egypt, in 1942, son of the late Mostafa ElBaradei, a lawyer and former President of the Egyptian Bar Association. He gained a Bachelor’s degree in Law in 1962 at the University of Cairo, and a Doctorate in International Law at the New York University School of Law in 1974.

...
In October 2005, Dr. ElBaradei and the IAEA were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for efforts “to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes and to ensure that nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is used in the safest possible way.”


Shouldn’t he be pushing to limit the nuclear reach of Iran if they can be “forced” into nuclear arms production through hostility from America?

I mean if the stated goal of this man IS “to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes”?

You know that it looks to me, if Israel pulls a sneak attack they will have to carpet bomb. They will have to stop Iran’s money flow, stop all energy output. I suppose the best option is do nothing for the sake of the world and this country. The way I figure to beat them is 1500 neutron weapons but I think France is the only one to build them.

Have Fun

Really? So after MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS of assurances from the UN that Iran’s nuke program was “Years from making a nuke” - now they’re afraid that Iran will drop one in the next few months?

The UN is a bunch of lying c***s*****s.......

Seems to me that that opposite is true. Make it look like a “work accident”

“Awww your plant blew up. What a damn shame. :-)

Then again, there’s nothing like a good fireball on (pick your favorite new channel).

In short, you're being silly.

Elbaradei’s sister is married to the Mullahs.
He is protective of her and them.
Great choice to let lead the IAEA. Not.

If I remember my history correctly Japan surrendered after being hit twice, does it take 4 warheads in Iran to force a surrender?

Personally I think it would be better to just go after a single target.

"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."

WTF? Not already making nuclear weapons?

Nah, of course not you freekin moron

Moreover, if the head of the IAEA doesn't know, who to hell does?

"If a military strike is carried out against Iran at this time ... it would make me unable to continue my work,"

BEST news I've heard in a long time. Leave it to the UN to appoint a Moozie from a Mosslimb country to oversee other Mooslimbs who are developing WMD's and expect them to be objective??

Though it is hard to imagine anyone more incompetent and anti-US than his predecessor (Hans--"Boobie" Blix) this moron is by far, worse.

You’ve got it exactly 180 reversed.

Keep spewing the idiocy that an enemy can not be attacked because some morons will then want to join that enemy.

Weakness. Pathetic, fear based, quivering, weakness.
