The IAEA is a hate America hate Israel joke. According to the UN report, Iran has barred two senior inspectors from their nuclear sites, said it "underestimated" the amount of uranium it has enriched, is developing secret nuke facilities far from prying eyes, and "accidentally" broke the seals on several pieces of equipment that the IAEA had shut down. (And a dissident Iranian group, the People's Mujahideen of Iran, charged last week that extensive tunneling near Tehran is connected to the production of weapons-grade plutonium.) It's all pretty brazen. And it has utterly paralyzed the UN. The IAEA responded in its report by politely requesting that Iran stop violating international laws, please. Handcuffed, tongue tied and generally bamboozled by the mullahs, the UN is instead focusing on a much easier target: Israel, the very country in Iran's nuclear crosshairs. The IAEA voted to censure Israel last year at its annual forum in Vienna, while refusing to even mention Iran. And it dialed up the pressure on Israel last month with a personal visit from the head of the IAEA, pushing Israel to join the non-proliferation treaty and accept UN inspectors at its nuclear sites. We note, without surprise, that the IAEA chief has yet to visit Iran. Why, after all, would he bother? The UN has given Iran and other bad actors the kid-gloves treatment for years, reserving its bare-knuckled fury for the Jewish state. And the IAEA is a mirror image of the UN at large -- impotent in the face of tyrants, deadly serious on one front alone: in its attempts to deliver a knockout blow to Israel. The IAEA has shown its true colors in its feeble battle with Iran. They look remarkably like a white flag.
