ElBaradei: US Responsible For Nuclear Iran

Head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei

From Press TV:

Head of the International Atomic Energy Agency says the Bush administration's "ignorance and arrogance" has led to today's "nuclear Iran".

In an interview with the New York Times, Mohamed ElBaradei said the previous US administration failed to seize countless diplomatic opportunities to engage Iran over its controversial nuclear program.

ElBaradei blamed the Bush administration for the fact that "Iran now has close to 5,500 centrifuges, and they have 1,000 kilos of low enriched uranium, and they have the know-how."

My Comment: From 1989 - 1994 I worked for ICAO (a division of the UN that focuses on Aviation issues). I always met officials like Mohamed ElBaradei .... all their actions were predicated on protecting their position and benefits .... and the best way to do that was to always play it safe. Bashing ex-President George Bush is as safe as you can be .... and completely wrong.

They always talk about peace .... but their actions (or lack of actions) always brought about misery, suffering, and more war.
