ElBaradei leaps into action: Calls efforts against Iran a failure
Says the nuclear problem stems from AIDS
Yes, he really said that. You see, if you have AIDS, all you can think about is, "I gotsta get me some nukes."
From Carl in Jerusalem:
Inept nuclear watchdog Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the feckless International Atomic Energy Association called international efforts to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons a failure in an interview published in Saturday's Los Angeles Times. But fear not, says ElBaradei, Iran won't attack Israel anyway."We haven't really moved one inch toward addressing the issues," said Mohamed ElBaradei, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA. "I think so far the policy has been a failure."
The 66-year-old Egyptian diplomat and 2005 Nobel Peace Prize laureate also urged world leaders to address broader unease about security, poverty and perceived injustice rather than zero in on narrow security concerns, such as nuclear weapons.
"Now, I am talking more and more about poverty, HIV/AIDS" and other matters, he told The Times this week during a rare one-on-one interview at the agency's headquarters in Vienna. The nuclear issue "is the tip of the iceberg."
Still, atomic energy remains the focus of his U.N.-related agency and ElBaradei said he felt optimistic about an eventual U.S.-led settlement between Tehran and the West.
He said U.S. President-elect Barack Obama gave him "lots of hope" after he inserted a proposal to abolish all nuclear weapons in the Democratic Party platform and advocated opening diplomatic dialogue with rivals.
"He is ready to talk to his adversaries, enemies, if you like, including Iran, also [North] Korea," he said, adding that the Bush administration was reluctant to do so. "To continue to pound the table and say, 'I am not going to talk to you,' and act in a sort of a very condescending way -- that exaggerates problems."
...
Now think about this. El-Baradei says the efforts to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons are a failure.
That's his job. It's his job to make sure Iran is not building nuclear weapons. And, he admits the program is a failure.
That means he's a failure.
And, what does he do in response to his failure. He actually admits that he is "talking more about HIV/AIDS."
He admitted that.
It's not his job.
His job is to make sure Iran doesn't build nukes. His job has NOTHING to do with AIDS.
This man has not only publicly admitted he is a failure at his job, but he has also publicly admitted that his response to his recognition that he is a failure is not to figure out how to do his job better, but instead, to turn his attention to a different job that is not his to do.
Any reasonable employer would fire this man. Not the UN though. They'll probably see to it that he's up for the Nobel Peace Prize.
