'In February 2003 - a month before the U.S. invasion - ElBaradei told the United Nations that nuclear experts had found no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. He said 'We have to date found no evidence of ongoing prohibited nuclear or nuclear-related activities in Iraq.' John Bolton - who is now the US ambassador to the United Nations - responded by saying this is 'impossible to believe.' Vice President Dick Cheney said 'I think Mr. ElBaradei frankly is wrong.' But it turned out ElBaradei was correct. He was also correct when he publicly cast doubt on President Bush's claim that Iraq was purchasing tons of enriched uranium from Niger for a nuclear weapons program. Days before the U.S. invasion, ElBaradei revealed that the U.S. had relied on fabricated documents to come to that conclusion.
Now the U.S. and ElBaradei are at odds again. This time it is over Iran. ElBaradei says the IAEA has no evidence that Iran has a nuclear weapons program. But the Bush administration rejects this view and went so far as to spy on him in an attempt try to block his re-election. Last year the Washington Post revealed that the U.S. listened in on dozens of phone calls between ElBaradei and Iranian diplomats in search of ammunition to use against him. When his re-election was initially put for a vote, 34 nations agreed to keep him as head of the IAEA and only the U.S. expressed opposition. ElBaradei has also called on Israel to disarm its secret nuclear weapons program and called for a nuclear-free Middle East.'
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich described this week's ruling as a "radical overreach of federal judges," while former Massachusetts Gov.

Rick Santorum took to Twitter, claiming "7M Californians had their rights stripped away today by activist 9th Circuit judges." But where do President Barack Obama and Ron Paul stand?

The Impeachment of the President of the USA - Part II AC : “Before I do, allow me just to repeat. To me, there is no moral difference between one lie and another. All lies are loathsome and lead, in the long run, to hell whatever the good intentions, which paved the way there. As far as I am concerned, President Clinton is a condemned man on these grounds only. But the lies one chooses and the victims he chooses to expose to his misbehaviour - reflect his personality, his inner world, what type of human being he is. It is the only allowance I make.… |
