By Louis Charbonneau Tue Sep 14, 2004 12:31 PM ET VIENNA (Reuters) - It is unclear if Iran's nuclear ambitions are entirely peaceful, but there is still no firm evidence that Tehran is secretly developing atomic weapons as Washington asserts, the U.N. nuclear The only perfectly clear thing in this whole matter is that el Baradei is a useless sack of sh!t.

Obviously until today there is none of that," International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohamed ElBaradei told reporters before entering a
Russia has also proposed amending the European proposal to call on the IAEA to make a "judgment" rather than a "definitive determination" about Iran's nuclear program, according to a revised draft obtained by Reuters. Diplomats said this milder wording would undermine the U.S. push to have Iran hauled before the U.N. Security Council in November. NO NOVEMBER GUARANTEE ElBaradei said there was no guarantee he would be able to complete his investigation ElBaradei also said that a South African investigation into a ring of suspected nuclear black marketeers might shed light on Iran's nuclear programs. Last week, South Africa announced several arrests in connection with an investigation of Germans and South Africans believed to be involved in a Pakistani-run black market that supplied nuclear technology to Libya, Iran and North Korea. South Africa linked the arrests only to Libya's nuclear weapons program, which Tripoli agreed in December to dismantle. "I think we're getting a good deal of information from South Africa," ElBaradei said.

Once again, el Baradei is unable to find his @ss in a Turkish prison with both hands, a flashlight and a roadmap. | |
