#1 didnt say they dont have them, just that theres NO EVIDENCE they have them. Not the same thing.

I have no evidence that theres a hot dog stand at the corner of State and Wabash (or whereever) in downtown Chicago. But then I havent looked. Im sure the city of Chicago would cooperate if I were to go look.

#2 There's no evidence that el-Baradei wanted to find any nukes. It like if I was hunting bear, what would I do if I found one?

Dan you just need to be prepared, carry binoculars, match box and high quality tweezers.

#4 "..."the Agency has no evidence on Syria's attempts to build any nuclear program that violates the Non-Proliferation Treaty."

TRANSLATION: Somewhere in the desert outside Damascus there is a 1000x1000 neon and searchlight lit sign with a blinking arrow on it that says THIS WAY TO SECRET SYRIAN NUCLEAR PROGRAM HEADQUARTERS.

#5 al Baredei is a real treat. If forsenic accountants approached their jobs with the same amount of zeal, no embezzelers would ever be found guilty.

#6 I do, however, have evidence that there is a hot dog stand in Chicago at Clark and Wrightwood. Go Weiner Circle!! There is nothing like an open-outcry purchase of a char-dog and cheddar fries at 3:30am. Sorry this is waaaay O/T.

El Baradei is the Arthur Andersen of Middle East nuclear accountability. Until the IAEA is headed by a non-Islamic individual, all of its findings in that region will be, not just suspect, but irreversibly tainted. The IAEA debacle in Iran is all we can expect to see played out over and over again until el Baradei is removed from office. Not that the UN will ever be able to provide functional investigation of anything more pressing than comparison shopping of Russian caviar brands.

#8 There is nothing like an open-outcry purchase of a char-dog and cheddar fries at 3:30am.

Is that breakfast or supper?
Open-outcry! LOL!
The only way to buy anything.

#9 That is getting late night food after going out and doing serious drinking. Food is required to soak up the booze.

#11 Hmm. Perhaps they need some evidence planted.

"Hey, Mr. Inspector, think that mushroom cloud over there might be an indication of nuclear activity?"

I wish that speeding tickets were as easy to avoid
as nuclear weapons programs. geesh.

#12 Even the Libyans implicated the Syrians. The IAEA must be getting their instructions (and checks) from Tehran.
