Israel is calling for El Baradei to be removed from the IAEA

[kpete]

Israel minister: Sack ElBaradei

Israel's leaders accuse Iran of seeking the destruction of their state
A senior Israeli minister has called for the sacking of Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog.

Deputy PM Shaul Mofaz said the Egyptian head of the International Atomic Energy Agency had endangered world peace by neglecting Iran's nuclear programme.

His comments come days before the IAEA is to publish its latest Iran report.

Mr ElBaradei has said Iran's nuclear programme is not an immediate threat and if it wanted to build a nuclear bomb it would need years to do so.

The IAEA report will help determine whether the United Nations imposes a third set of sanctions on Tehran.

1. I wonder who in our admin had 'a little talk' w/Israel about this.

Because they don't like his tamping down the war talk?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. NO! you don't think that our honorable VP

is a warmongererererer? are you? or was that spelled worm-mogrel? I get confused.

[mmonk]

2. The UN needs to hold its ground.

[angstlessk]

3. eggzactly..el baradei is as wrong about Iran as he was about Iraq..oh, wait

he was correct about Iraq it was everone else who was wrong...my bad!

[Spazito]

4. I believe they tried this same bullshit during the run-up to the

illegal invasion of Iraq. It didn't work then, it won't work now.

[doublethink]

6. Yea but they still went through with the invasion didn't they?

It's deja vu all over again. Geesh ..... Peace.

[Spazito]

9. My "it won't work now" was in reference to the removal of

ElBaradei, it wasn't in reference to the invasion. There were calls for his removal then which failed just as this one will fail.

[doublethink]

19. I know that ...... but just the same ...... did that stop them from ....

their objectives? NO. I hate these criminals. They are playing the same playbook on us. Why are we so stupid? Not you and me so to speak but what the hey? What gives? If the blind lead the blind...... all the best my friend, never give up, never surrender, all the best. Peace. :hi:

[Hydra]

5. "He no say what we want him to!"

Remove him and put a tool we like in there! That'll work!

Does anyone care about the truth, or even pretend to anymore?

[leveymg]

7. Israel isn't even a signatory to the treaty. When they sign, they can complain.

Until then . . . just talk among yourselves.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

8. Why would the GOVERNMENT of Israel reject an honest man, like that?

They couldn't POSSIBLY be in cahootz to do anything dishonest, could they?

:shrug:

OHHHHH!

Maybe, that espionage case pending in the U.S.A. could include, uh,.....

,...oh, nevertheemind,...

It must be just plain AWEFUL to have the light of day shine on plans the darkest of people KNEW AND KNOW ARE CRIMINAL wanted hidden.

enough of this crap

you "rulers of the world" need to do one of those butt-cleansing regiments or something

[robertpaulsen]

10. Mofaz says a Nobel Peace Prize winner is endangering world peace?

Whatever Orwell. Fuck off.

[14thColony]

11. Amazing

Considering Israel is one of only four nations not a party to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, and maintains its own illegal nuclear and chemical weapon arsenals.

[annabanana]

16. (kind of my first thought too.). . . eom

[razors edge]

13. Eerily reminiscent.

Blix: I was smeared by the Pentagon


Helena Smith in New York
Wednesday June 11, 2003
The Guardian

Hans Blix, the UN chief weapons inspector, lashed out last night at the "bastards" who have tried to undermine him throughout the three years he has held his high-profile post.

In an extraordinary departure from the diplomatic language with which he has come to be associated, Mr Blix assailed his critics in both Washington and Iraq.

Speaking exclusively to the Guardian from his 31st floor office at the UN in New York, Mr Blix said: "I have my detractors in Washington. There are bastards who spread things around, of course, who planted nasty things in the media. Not that I cared very much.

"It was like a mosquito bite in the evening that is there in the morning, an irritant."

In a wide-ranging interview Mr Blix, who retires in three weeks' time, accused:

·The Bush administration of leaning on his inspectors to produce more damning language in their reports;

·"Some elements" of the Pentagon of being behind a smear campaign against him; and

·Washington of regarding the UN as an "alien power" which they hoped would sink into the East river.

14. ...nominates BeBe Netanyahu for post.

[mogster]

15. Look at this line

"The policies followed by ElBaradei endanger world peace. His irresponsible attitude of sticking his head in the sand over Iran's nuclear programme should lead to his impeachment," Mr Mofaz said during a visit to Washington.

Does he read the DU, I wonder? :shrug:

[Canuckistanian]

17. All the more reason to keep him there

If the RW Likudnik gov't is out for his blood, then something must be right.

Let the Israelis bring it up before the Security Council.

[Warren Stupidity]

18. Damnit somebody shoot the messenger!

Where have we seen this script before?
