Times of London Drops the Bomb on Nobel and ElBaradei

By Tammy Bruce on Internationalism

Yesterday I posted their initial reaction to the UN's IAEA and ElBaradei 'winning' the Nobel Peace Prize. Today, the Times continues with a perfect expose of the utter failure of ElBaradei and the political rot of the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

Just to whet your appetite, here's a snippet of what the Times points out :

<<<

The IAEA’s “success” in not exaggerating the threat of Iraq in 2003 is compromised by the number of times it has missed a threat entirely:

# Before the 1991 Gulf War (before Dr ElBaradei’s appointment), the IAEA failed to detect Saddam’s nuclear programme. After the war, it was startled by the scale of his work to make fissile material.

# Under Dr ElBaradei, the IAEA missed the Libyan nuclear programme, which Libya chose to reveal after the 2003 Iraq war.

# It missed Iran’s 20-year covert nuclear research programme, exposed by Iranian dissidents three years ago.

# It failed to detect the “nuclear supermarket” run by A. Q. Khan, the Pakistani scientist who sold plans and components to Libya, North Korea and Iran.

# It was slow to sound the alarm about North Korea’s conversion of its civil nuclear power into a weapons programme. The US accused North Korea of weapons ambitions in 2002.
