This has been the most bullish statement I haved ever seen from this man.It means a lot what he said there and yes Israel will take note of it.

Who, me or ElBaradi?

However, Israel has a history of ignoring everything they are told to do.

In my opinion what ElBaradi is saying amounts to appeasement.

True....I could not imagine having to live there with a country very close and trying to get nucs saying everyday that it wants it wiped off the earth...If I lived there I would hope that my goverment would protect us...And if taking out a nuc reactor before they can get a nuc would lessen the threat then I would hope they would do it...

But ElBaradei said any attack would simply harden Iran's position in its row with the West over its nuclear programme.

"A military strike would spark the launch of an emergency programme to make atomic weapons, with the support of all Iranians, including those living abroad," he said.

Why would a country that had embarked on peace time nuclear energy generation choose to retaliate with nuclear weapons?

Iran has had advanced nuclear technology including laser enrichment since the 70's.

Since Iran did not choose to develop a nuclear warhead during the Iran/Iraq war it seems less likely that they would launch an emergency programme to make atomic weapons now.

I forgot to post a photo of the chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency Mohamed ElBaradei.This was the person who said on Saturday that the middle east would turn into a ball of fire if Iran is attacked.

Like Israel would announce day and date?

CNN says Islamic Jihad broke the 'truce' by firing rockets from Gaza...


IJ is Sunni, but Iran is believed to supply them.


The UN complains a lot more when Israel retaliates when Hamas, Islamic Jihad or Hezb'Allah attack, than over the original attacks themselves.

Latest news from JPost

An IDF soldier was reportedly killed Tuesday in the middle of a farewell ceremony at Ben-Gurion airport held in honor of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, in attendance of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, President Shimon Peres and other state dignitaries, Israel Radio reported.
Police spokesman Shlomi Sagi said the policeman was killed in an apparent suicide, and police denied an attempted assassination attempt on Sarkozy.

However, a conflicting report said the soldier apparently fell from a vantage point he was occupying on a high building, from where he was securing the event, and the bullet that killed him misfired from his gun.

According to Israel Radio, the incident happened no more than 200 meters from where Olmert was standing.

Initially, the prime minister's security personnel withdrew their handguns and rushed Olmert and Peres to bullet-proof cars, while Sarkozy and his wife Carla Bruni-Sarkozy were rushed to the French president's plane.

When the incident ended Olmert and Peres boarded Sarkozy's plane to bid the French president farewell.

It was not immediately clear whether the soldier died from the impact of the fall or from the misfired bullet.

Odd.....
