Of course, Israel is correct ....
ElBaradei is a sham.

Israel’s top strategic negotiator called for the removal of the U.N.’s chief nuclear inspector. “Replacing him would be the right choice,” Shaul Mofaz said of Mohammed ElBaradei, who heads the International Atomic Energy Agency. “The way he talks, his policies – these endanger the world.”

Heh.

How long before the OIC attacks Israel on this?

Hmmm.... is there anything that needs to be said?

How bout-- "Say Mr. Dinnerjacket, since Iran sits on the third largest oil reserves in the world, how come you need to pursue nuclear energy at a cost of billions of dollars and many years, instead of just building some more infrastructure to get at your FREE oil?"

Peaceful nuclear program DEZE NUTZ!

I stand with Israel.

“The way [El Baradei] talks, his policies – these endanger the world.”

This just in--the sky is blue.

Past IAEA reports charging Iran with a lack of transparency about its nuclear ambitions have been critical in getting the U.N. Security Council to impose sanctions. Israel wants the Security Council to declare a third round of sanctions.

Gee, I can't imagine why Mohammed ElBaradei would claim there was "no real evidence" of an Iranian nuclear weapons program.

Good luck with that.

About a week ago in the J-Post, there was a Caroline Glick column, and I think she is right in what she stated. Baradei isn't some incompetent Hans Blix type diplomat, easily fooled, who puts peace above all else, he is an active player, trying to provide interference to ensure Iran builds the bomb.

As always the evidence will have to be a Mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv or Jerusalem !

the U.N is a monumental failure and should be dismantled .

Empty words, empty threats , empty resolutions,

Israel should do whatever is required to preserve it's sovereignty

Of course the usual whine...
"But how come Israel can have it and we can't?"

He should probably be brought up on charges as well (I have a hunch his palm has been greased), but for now I'll take his dismissal.

Won't be holding my breath, however.

They are also #3 in natural gas reserves. Natural gas must be shipped by either pipeline, or compressed and refridgerated to be shipped by tanker. Difficult, and expensive. But it is perfect as a relatively clean burning fuel to power local gas turbine electric power plants.

Israel calling for his removal is the surest way to guarantee his job. He will now become a likely candidate for the Secretary General position, once Moon decides to hang it up.

I think its fair to say one of the greatest dangers to freedom and peace in the world today is the UN. There comes a time when standing up and fighting, drawing a line and saying no one will cross it are the only viable answers. By obfuscating and pandering and attempting to placate the evil in the world, the UN has lost whatever authority it had and is quickly moving from impotent observer to willing accomplice.

what good is a resolution if nobody stands behind it or is willing to back it up. the U.N has weakened democracy's cause and has emboldened despots and Religious Fascists in the M.E and the world over.

A couple of years back (about June, 2005), when his second term as head nuke watchdog ended, there was talk that the US would block his reappointment. But when John Bolton left the State Department for his brief stay at the UN, State pushed for a third term. And Bush caved.

If Bush had held tough, he could have blocked this agent of the Iranian nuclear project from being appointed, but he didn't.

Elbaradai was clearly a politically motivated appointment.

Kind of like affirmative action, on the international stage.

As the Annapolis summit draws near, Arab columnists have been publishing articles emphasizing that the summit will serve Arab interests. The articles argue that it is imperative for the Arabs to support the summit, since it will bring stability to the region, promote a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict, put an end to the exploitation of the Palestinian issue by the "unholy alliance" of Iran, Syria and Hamas, and even serve as a deterrent to Iran.

Syria to allow U.S. in to screen refugees

WASHINGTON -- Syria has agreed to allow U.S. interviewers into the country to screen Iraqi refugees for admission to the United States, clearing a major obstacle to the Bush administration's resettlement program, The Associated Press has learned.

The move follows a visit to Damascus Oct. 30 by senior U.S. envoys who won permission for Department of Homeland Security staff to travel to Syria to vet Iraqi refugees awaiting clearance to enter the U.S., officials familiar with the matter said Thursday.

...

The United States plans to admit 12,000 refugees in the current fiscal year, but just 450 were allowed in during October, far less than the monthly average needed to reach the target.

Hmmmmm...The US wants to take Iraqi refugees from Syria and fly them to the US.

Nancy Pelosi continues her run as the worst Speaker in the history of the House. She's pushing the Democrats' defeat and retreat plan again. $50 billion appropriations bill to contain defeat and retreat provisions. They simply can't help themselves.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will vote as early as Friday on legislation that would spend $50 billion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but require that President Bush start bringing troops home.

The money is about a quarter of the $196 billion requested by Bush. It would finance about four months of combat in Iraq, Pelosi told reporters on Thursday.

"This is not a blank check for the president," she said at a Capitol Hill news conference. "This is providing funding for the troops limited to a particular purpose, for a short time frame."

The bill would set the requirement that troop withdrawals begin immediately and that soldiers and Marines spend as much time at home as they do in combat.

The measure also sets a goal that combat end by December 2008. After that, troops left behind should be restricted to a narrow sets of missions, namely counterterrorism, training Iraqi security forces and protecting U.S. assets.

They want to give deadlines again - as if the enemy will abide by our deadlines? Why not give the enemies of the US blueprints while you're at on how to defeat the US, because Pelosi and her fellow defeatists are doing just that. The Democrats message to our enemies is simple: wait the US out and resume your attacks on US interests - you win.

Pelosi and the other armchair leftists want to run the war from the halls of Congress and continue to make a power grab vis a vis the Executive who is the Commander in Chief.

Congress simply doesn't have the cojones to cut off the aid as their leftists want. So, they're trying the next best thing, which is to strangle the military mission with wholly unreasonable and insane timeline requirements - and conditioning further appropriations on meeting Congressional goals.

Expect another round of vetoes and Democrat weaseling.

Actually, I'm surprised they haven't tried a fairly easy target like that for some time, and have read speculation that in the years immediately following the September 11th attacks, al Qaeda leadership felt any attack in the US would have to rival the scope of the WTC/Pentagon attacks, to demonstrate their power. Perhaps they have finally decided they can't match another big attack like that.

If we bomb Iran/are drawn into a war with Iran by Israel bombing Iran (which I earlier compared to short term pain for long term gain), I'd fully expect that in the last 28 years Iran has managed to get sleeper Hezb'Allah cells into the US, and would activate them.

Report: Washington concerned Israel gearing up to attack Iran

Washington officials are concerned that Tehran's announcement that it has 3,000 centrifuges fully working in its controversial uranium enrichment program will lead to an Israeli strike on Iran, the British daily The Times reported on Thursday.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced the landmark development on Wednesday.

Pentagon sources in Washington fear Israel could move to attack the uranium enrichment plant, as U.S. officials and foreign media reports confirmed it did a suspected Syrian nuclear facilily on September 6.

Over at the crackpot-Lefty site site CounterPunch today there is an especially demented, anti-Israel rant today by William A. Cook, professor of English at the University of La Verne in southern California.

Some of the accusations remind me of the Beauchamp stories at TNR.

Here's a small excerpt:

"We Israeli Soldiers ­ were put there to punish the Palestinians, says Ilan Vilenda, an Israeli soldier who served in Rafah during the first Intifada." "The soldiers enjoyed the 'intoxication of power', and had pleasure from using violence," according to the researchers. "What is great is that you don't have to follow any law or rule. You feel that YOU ARE THE LAW; you decide. Once you go into the Occupied Territories YOU ARE GOD." "We drove through Rafah. A man of 25 walked nearby. He didn't hurl a stone at us or anything. Then without any reason "X" shot him in the stomach. We left him lying on the sidewalk." "He captured a kid and broke his elbow. Broke the kid's elbow! Damn me if I'm not telling the truth! Then the NCO treaded on the kid's stomach three times, before he moved on. We couldn't believe our eyes But the next day we went on patrol with that guy and the soldiers started to imitate him." "A woman threw a stone at me. I kicked her with my foot at her crotch. I broke her. She can't have children any longer. Next time she won't throw sandals at me and when another woman spat at me she got the butt of my gun in her face. She can't spit now." "He was real big, some 30 years old. He refused detention. We hit him but couldn't force him down. We beat him and told him to lie down. Till he finally did. We drove to the base with him. By that time he had lost consciousness. He died some days later." These are the compassionate humanitarians that oversee the International laws that govern the responsibilities of the occupying forces. These are the soldiers we support. This is the way we protect America.

Platypuses (pi?) are cool. From what I understand, practically the missing link between reptiles and mammals. Lays eggs, but produces milk from primitive specialized sweat glands (remember kids, milk is just special and nutritious bovine perspiration), and I think even has a venomous claw, definitely a reptilian feature.
