 "We know North Korea has a collective screw loose the plutonium that can go into the bomb," Mohammed ElBaradei told CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Thursday. Duh. "We have not seen any such material in Iran." North Korea, he said, represents an "imminent threat or an imminent danger," while Iran is paying me handsomely to look the other way merely suspected of having a nuclear program.
And there ladies and gentlemen is the clearly enunciated international standard: you're not a threat until you've assembled all of the pieces necessary to build a weapon and blackmail the world. The IAEA is more than worthless, it's dangerous. Warning, tranzi moonbattery ahead:
"We need to make sure that every country especially Muslim countries in the future has what we call assurance of access to nuclear weapons supply, that they have access to nuclear technology for electricity, for other applications like bombs, but try to minimize the risk associated with that by having an international consortium, for example, producing the fuel and then take back the fuel again under international supervision and who better to head such an effort than myself, for a substantial raise of course. ... No one country should enrich its own uranium."
"No one country" is an interesting turn of phrase the clear implication of which is that an unaccountable, irresponsible, supranational organization is required. If we could just get rid of those pesky nation states.
Iran claims it is trying to kill all the Jooos and Infidels "protect their activities," ElBaradei acknowledged, but would not say the country is trying to hide evidence concerning a possible nuclear program. "They are fulfilling their legal obligations," he said, with a "minor infraction here and there."
And, he said, recent events are leading to utter disaster especially for the Yankee Infidels and Jooos in the right direction, particularly the United States' support of a European initiative to bring Iran in line through dialogue. "[W]e need to make sure the process continues ... as long as the parties are talking, we're on the right track."
It would appear that those who criticize NGOs as debating clubs that fiddle while Rome burns have been vindicated right from the horse's mouth.
Less talking and more shooting please. |
