#1 But Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, also says there is no alternative to dialogue between Tehran and the IAEA plus credible inspections, the Financial Times reported Friday.

Why not just say then that y'all can't do a damned thing about the situation?

"Iran tried to cheat the system. Now they would have second thoughts ... because we've called their bluff," ElBaradei said.

Er, what was that you were sayin' about "no alternative to dialogue"....?

#2 First he says it's safe, then he warns us the world's in danger. Bascially he's a peace-nik who's too afraid to admit dialogue isn't working.

says there is no alternative to dialogue

So what are the alternatives when Iran does finally have nukes?

#3 "...because we've called their bluff,"

El's not exactly a master-level poker player, is he?

#4 Well, since he's speaking as a Employed for Life UN twitter - and the UN is as toothless as a pack of 20 yr old hounds with only one bona-fido Dobermann is sight who's intelligently not interested in being ordered about by gummy-mouthed historical artifacts, each promoting conflicting self-serving agendas contrary to the Dobermann's interests and living to a large extent on the Dobermann's ability to bring home the bacon - he's right about there being nothing else they can do but talk. Double-heh.

#5 "...there is no alternative to dialogue between Tehran and the IAEA plus credible inspections..."
Sound familiar? [Rewind two years and substitute "Baghdad" for "Tehran".] This clown has no imagination.

#6 rope, rope, rope-a-dope...
Remember, the goal isn't to contain Iran, it's to contain the US hegemon.

#7 ElBaradei's goal is to enable Moslem nukes.

He did it in Egypt (head of the nuke programme before the peace treaty w/Israel), then tried to shield Iraq, Lybia, and now Iran.
