With most of the new International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on Iran centering around whether or not officials can start some sort of major war on the flimsy pretexts therein, Israeli officials are using it to condemn former IAEA head Mohammed ElBaradei for not providing a similar report in the past.
One official said the report “proves he was an Iranian agent,” while others insisted that he would be condemned by history as “the person who helped Iran obtain a nuclear weapon.”
ElBaradei was quick to deny the charges, of course. In the past he has commented on his time in the IAEA and expressed concern that idle speculation inside reports might be used to start a major war, as was done in Iraq.
His replacement, Amano Yukiya, is seen as a “US ally” and has been far more willing to include random guesses about what might be happening in reports than his predecessor. Needless to say, this sits much better with Israeli officials than the “lets not start a war over nothing” position.
Now you can understand Sarkozy/Obama comments on the hot mik! Israel will be the death of the US yet!
Uzi Eilam is out of his freaking mind. Of course, that would apply to MOST of Israeli government types that shoot their mouths off for the simple pleasure of hearing themselves wax bombastic.
Mohammed el-Baradei "secretly an Iranian agent?" Holy crap, these bozos have jumped the insane asylum shark for sure.
Prove it Israel OR STFU!
We could use that Yiddish word Chutzpah (shameless audacity) to describe the Likkudnik attempts to smear El-Baradei.
Iranian agent?….Puhleeze! Time for the Israelis to stop taking hits off that bong.
Actually they should be smoking some weed – they need something to mellow them out.
Ha!… Good one.
Judging by the results it's angel dust they are on, just hope we don't get Bibi streaking through the streets
Do the israelis even believe their own lies?
Not so long ago they were telling us that Mohammed el-Baradei is an agent of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Meanwhile there is no confusion about who Amano 'Dimona' Yukiya is working for. It is beyond farcical.
Yaaa, I believe also that, Amano Dimona Yukiya is an Israeli agent ! if not can he tell us about the Israeli nuclear program, and who help them to obtain it ?
If a Jerwish person criticises Israel, then they must be "self hating". If anyone else criticises Israel, then they must be "anti Semitic", or in this case an Iranian spy. In the not too distant future, anyone who criticises Israel will find themselves extradited and executed. It is time for the World to recognise the "Elephant in the room".
Somewhere…someplace…. a yellow bellied GWoT-sucker marvels at the reach and guile of the Iranians and slinks under his bed to cower and whimper.
"Thank god my windows are still taped," he thinks to himself.
So all the NIE reports Bush had been reading for years could be false too? BS, these folks are hell bent on war.
Ex-Mossad Chief: Iran Is Not An Existential Threat

And I always knew that Boris Badinov and Natasha really worked for the Northwest Mounted.
FUTURE INTENT — THE FICKLE FINGER OF FATE
Take an hour to study his history, surely its common horse sense that El Baradei is an agent owned body and soul by the USA corporate rich. For when he was IAEA head, his appearing to be slightly pro-Iran gave him unlimited freedom to muddy the water and make it most confusing as to whether future intent or some future fickle finger of fate would make Iran a nuclear power.
Need any more evidence that we need to clean the israel-firsters out of our government, media and politics?
Need any more evidence that we have not learned the lessons of Munich? We cannot reason with the nutcase fanatics in Israel and their totalitarian government. Time to clean them up.
It's not those demented zionists that need to be locked up: it's their kowtowing spineless American leaders who compete for their favors. One hopes Iran does develop nuclear capability. They'll certainly need it to fend the Israeli nuclear arsenal. Will the US ever have the balls to push for an IAEA inspection in Israel. You don't hear anyone speak of sanctions against this rogue state now, do you? Why should Iran continue to submit to any inspection when its sworn foe doesn't. Wake up, America before it's too late – or is it already too late….
Ron Paul or World War 3. Your choice, Americans.
This is preposterous! And by the way, if Mohammed el-Baradei will go down in history as helping Iran aquire the alleged ONE primitive nuclear weapon they might build, prey tell us then who will go down in history as helping the Zionists aquire their 200 to 400 thrmonuclear weapons? eh?, eh? The hypocrisy is galling and fathomless.
I am confused! why are my comments always held up for approval? Is offering one’s own opinion about subjects now being sensored at Antiwar.com by someone who imposes their own values to what is being said? I thought this site was better than that when it came to the fight for freedom of speech and against Police State America.
[Moderator’s note: Antiwar.com uses IntenseDebate’s automatic spam filtering, after which human moderators go through and approve comments that it shouldn’t have caught. And this week, one of the moderators is on vacation, so we’re running a little behind. Sorry about that, but no, it isn’t “censorship” (nobody’s stopping you from expressing your opinion — if you want to express it HERE, then it’s on our terms – TLK]
What are your terms?
By the way, thank you Mr Jason Ditz for your fine, credible, and unbiased reporting.
It's the old Israeli smear game. Next they'll 'discover' incriminating documents proving their lie. They did it to Arafat and the smear stuck. It works when the media is in your corner, or should I say back pocket?
I'm pretty sure that if Obama made one move to censure Israel for real, we'd find out he is an undercover Iranian agent as well. I'm probably an Iranian agent and I don't even know it! Gosh those boys in Tehran are GOOD!
It's the Israeli way. Get used to it. Start a rumor that is sypathetic to their political stance and then drive it into the heads of all the dumb TV watchers in America that only get their information from CNN , Fox News and other zionist agencies. I can hear Wolf Blitzer telling Americans the story with great seriousness without identifying where the story comes from. The USA is being duped from the outside and inside. We used to call it propaganda, but now it is standard US news casting.
A war with Iran has ONE good element: How will the Pentagon then justify the missiles in Bulgaria, Romania and Poland ? A nuclear missile threat from North Korea ? Trident missile engineer Bob Aldridge -www.plrc.org-wrote on the missiles in Bulgaria, Romania and Poland: "Whether they are on ships or land, they are still a necessary component for an unanswerable first strike." Maybe only for Blackmail as CND Information Officer David Guinness suggested. He had a smaller, opdated version of Robert C. Aldridge: First Strike! The Pentagon´s Strategy For Nuclear War published in French. By the way, Bob Aldridge: America in Peril (Hope Publishing).

Common Dreams, HuffingtonPost and your Antiwar Radio do not delay most postings. Why the delay on this WEB page?
[Moderator’s note: Actually, Antiwar Radio works exactly the same way as every other part of Antiwar.com. I don’t work for Common Dreams or Huffington Post, I work for Antiwar.com — and I didn’t design the moderation system, I just look at what it catches and pass on through the things that don’t violate our guidelines. Which takes time. More time when there’s more content or fewer moderators around – TLK]
TO: MODERATOR
(1) Without notice your comment WEB pages jump from IntenseDebate format to another format — then back again. Why such confusion?
[Moderator’s Response: I’m not sure this means. I do know that IntenseDebate integrates with WordPress in various ways, so it’s possible that what you’re seeing is some kind of WordPress load before an IntenseDebate layer feeds in over the top of it. But that’s just a guess. And by the way, “web” is a word, not an acronym – TLK]
(2) IntenseDebate terminates accounts immediately after they are opened? Why?
(3) IntenseDebate keeps failing to send an email conformation to open a new account. Why?
[Moderator’s Response: IntenseDebate is a third-party service, not part of Antiwar.com. I work for the latter, not the former and am only familiar with the former’s interfaces, not its underlying technical architecture. You might try their support links – TLK]
It would be funny, this Israeli lie, if it weren't so dangerous!
MODERATOR — DO YOUR JOB

Yep. The Zionists have lost it. First, the Iranian used car salesman who wants the Mexican drug cartels to whack the Saudi ambassador in the US (no doubt at Taco Bell). Now, elbaradei is a secret Iranian agent man. It keeps getting better and better by the conspiracy. Pretty soon, they'll be proving that Ahmadinejad is a little green man from outer space and the Ayatollahs are really Gremlins.
Nazi propaganda. What about their 200 nukes, and what about the ATTEMPT TO SELL NUKES TO THE HATED SOUTH AFRICAN APARTHAID.____Barbars and WAR CRIMINALS
We have heard that rhetoric many times before. Either your with us or your with the enemy.
knowledge is universal, for Iranian to have a Bomb, is there universal right.
It would be stupid for Iranian to use the Bomb, but it will secure there future in certain ways.
The name and concept of "yellow pages" came about in 1883, when a printer in Cheyenne, Wyoming, working on a regular telephone directory ran out of white paper and used yellow paper instead.
