The International Atomic Energy Agency is Iran’s bitch;
The Nobel Peace Prize-winning chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency effectively fired his lead Iran investigator this spring at the request of the Iranians, according to a new report in the German newspaper Die Welt am Sonntag.
The lead inspector of the 15-man IAEA team in Iran, Chris Charlier, told the newspaper that the IAEA chief, Mohammad ElBaradei, agreed to a request the Iranian government made, and relegated Mr. Charlier, a 64-year-old Belgian, to office work at the organization’s Vienna-based headquarters. The Iranian request was reportedly made when Mr. ElBaradei visited Iran in April.
The news could have explosive consequences for America’s policy of entrusting Mr. ElBaradei to negotiate an end to Iran’s uranium enrichment. In 2004, after intelligence reports found him coaching the Iranians on the intricacies of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, the State Department launched a campaign to prevent Mr. ElBaradei, an Egyptian, from running for an unprecedented third term as IAEA secretary-general. That campaign failed after other countries expressed their support for him.
… it seems that those U.N. inspectors—remember Mohammed al Baradei, the guy we pretended we wanted fired but then accepted, in yet another act of supine appeasement? — actually report to the Iranian regime. One guy at the IAEA figured out the mullahs were lying—imagine!—and so the mullahs told al Baradei to fire him. Which he did, of course. Have a look.
I wonder why Sy Hersh wasn’t on top of this one? What, no witless ex-spooks around to tell him? And Risen, Lichtblau, and those lovable leakers who get fed by Newsweek?
Two words: BOMB IRAN!
“I have seen the enemy and it is the UNITED NATIONS”
The enemy of Democracy, that is. How else could you explain the UN’s promoting “ideas” that infringe on free Nations Democracy. like;
Pandering to Dictators
Allowing/promoting Oil For Food Scandal
One World Governance
Earth Charter
Dafur
UN Internet Taxation
Kyoto Protocol ………
Even our own UN’s Alan Rock said the UN is a mess. But HOW would HE like to improve it ??
Add Ruwanda to that list too.
BHA,
Actually,I think Canadian culture has some terminology that is quite unique and accurate to add to the UN…
How about the UD…United Ditherers
or,perhaps,the LPW…Liberal Party of the World
They appear to do no more than play political games,ignore scandals and work on building a power base for themselves…saving lives and improving life for the world’s suffering be damned!Also,they seem to be taking subversive political correctness to a new,international level(hug-a-dictator)!
THIS is why we need the bloggers.
as far as alan ‘gun legislation’ rock is concerned, why did he wait until it was merely a parting shot to clamour for UN reform ??? useless useless useless.
dr strangelove here we come.
So the IAEA’s ElBaradei is giving Iran the full Monica…
Why would anyone be surprised? His buddy and then-boss Hans Blix (who hired ElBaradei) did the same thing with Saddam & Co.
“No WMDs here folks, no story here, move along…”
Observers? Just on hand? Both hands? …-
