31. #2 those nuclear experts !
(10.28.07)
look what another nuclear expert said: 'It took down this facility so quickly it looks like they are trying to hide something,'' said David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security.
32. Yea, and you've done so much for us already...
Micha   (10.28.07)
I can see that iran is already quaking about the IAEA reprimanding it. Hmmm....el-baradei, is that a Jewish name? Oops..it's not..it's a moslem name. Hmmm....so I think we'll pass. Thanks for the suggestion tho. By the way, how are those human rights coming along in Saudi Arabia? Can Jews and/or Israelis visit? If not, then sucks for you. We'll start budging when we see the Saudis change. They will set the bar. Until then, screw yourselves.
33. #15 come on
Vorax ,   UK   (10.28.07)
you are sitting there with your a** protected by French nukes. What do you suppose civilized people should wait defenseless, until Sharia-or-death ultimatum arrives under the threat of Islamic bomb, no matter how Persians get it themselves or by using their Syrian slaves? by razing that sh*t in Syrian desert, Israel protects you from mad mullas, too.
34. 15 - Francis -- 10 out of 10! I'd be the same
Scot   (10.28.07)
if I was you. Dimona is probably the sole reason why Israel is still here today; deterence! And that must make you frenchslums even more pissed off; us continuing to hold up a great big mirror to your ugly, underachieving faces, what with all Israel's many many many achievements in technology, medicine, science, (etc, etc, etc - countless other fields). Yes Francis of Eurabia, You can continue to "hope Syria bomb Dimona" - it's really the only hope you have for that dang big mirror to stop reflecting that ugly, ugly reflection y'all see. . . (But they cannee seem to pull it off, laddie!) BWahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!
35. Did anyone see the actual interview?
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (10.28.07)
I saw this idiot on CNN (Late Edition) where he gave a bumbling, stumbling rambling interview composed of double-talk & half-truths. And, of course, the interviewer, Wolff Blitzer, did his utmost to help him out, avoiding any unpleasant questions & prompting responses - it was one of the most embarrassing interviews I have ever seen. The man looked like an utter fool - zero credibility. It was truely pathetic. His comments are best ignored as they will influence no one of any importance. On the contrary, anyone who saw this interview would be convinced that the man doesn't know what he's talking about. This article tries to make him sound like some kind of an authority, that his words carry weight when the truth is that he is basically irrelevent - out of the loop, as the expression goes.
36. Doesn't el baradei look like the kid we all
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.28.07)
beat up in the third grade? Let this fool shut his mouth. We have too many idiots trying to tell us what to do. We have our own idiots for that.
37. You're damn right the Israelis 'took the Law in their.......
Cameron ,   USA   (10.28.07)
own hands'. Who out there honestly believes in the UN handling any problem in a serious, even-handed manner?
38. 'on ya Terry from Eilat. (is the beach ok now?)
Aussie Larikin ,   Wagga Wagga   (10.28.07)
I know, he's become a bit of a 'walking laxativ', ol Mo. Caught out simply sleeping at the wheel by you Israelis.
39. Mr. ElBaradei , would you like to buy the Brooklyn Bridge?
Sidney ,   USA   (10.29.07)
The Syrians told him that it was not a nuclear facility.
40. who said anything about "nuclear"?
tom ,   toronto, canada   (10.29.07)
so far, israel and the united states have withheld almost all official comment, and syria, mostly, except for the occasional slip of the tongue, insists that the site was an unused building. so outside of the usual sensationalist media reports, nobody has mentioned a word about "nuclear" anything. so if it ain't nuclear, what basis does el baradei have for sticking his nose in this matter? if anyone has "unoffical information", perhaps it's mr. el abradei. and perhaps he'd like to share it with the rest of the world? if nothing else, this outburst is a good demonstration of why israel and the united states should NEVER share classified intelligence with the iaea - they aren't the "eyes and ears", but rather the "prattling mouth" of the international community.
41. What Syrian reactor?
RhubarbRex ,   Netivot, Israel   (10.29.07)
The Syrians deny that any nuclear facility was hit, or that there even was one where the pictures show a building missing. The Israelis have not said they hit a nuclear facility. What information about a Syrian nuclear program is El Baradei talking about? Does El Baradei know something about a Syrian nuclear program?
42. Baradei
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (10.29.07)
Hell, the guy is trying to protect his job. After all, if everybody went around and took out everybody else's suspected nuke installations -hehehehe and go IAF - he'd be out on his a-- and would have to find a real job. The way he bumbles his way through a conversation, he might not even qualify as a Walmart greeter. By the time he'd get through with, "Welcome to Walmart," somebody would have done their shopping and be long gone. And why, exactly, should anybody come to them, when facts have already been established? So they could suggest better camouflage? Screw him!
43. el lamo
theviper311 ,   Hymie Town   (10.29.07)
the subject is covered quite well and leaves little room for comment. thanks to that moron from france for his great joke..or is it that france itself is a joke?
44. El Baradai is an idiot
Robert Tilden ,   Sheridan, WY   (10.29.07)
Mohamad El Baradai is an idiot, whatever he says on the matter it will come out that he is in the wrong. He is in charge of the IAEA, Israel bombed a 'Military Target' in Syria, Israel doesnt claim it was nuclier. The Syrians claim it is not nuclier. Does Al Baradai comment on every non nuclier development in the world? If he thinks the Syrian instilation was non nuclier he should shut is pie hole. If he thinks the Syrian instilation was nuclier than what the hell is he doing not investigating it? Someone should call this idiot home.
45. OK then "MOHAMMED" but what are you going to do about it?
Su ,   wpb,fl   (10.29.07)
Obviously, IAEA is aware of and believe Syria's misdeeds -- NOW is NOT TOO LATE to penalize Syria either -- of course now exactly what is "Mohamed"El Baradei going to do about it?????
46. What more can expect from this Mohamed?
KMR ,   Middle East   (10.29.07)
47. EL BARADEI EL COMEDEI - "VOTED #1 FOR LAUGHS"
Scott   (10.29.07)
Incredible. Cant believe that this idiot said that and truly believe it. No way. BS.
48. IAEA needs dismantled
Johnson ,   USA   (10.29.07)
The past blunders, and obvious blindness of the IAEA makes it an obsolete and ineffective pipedream of the UN.
49. watch the weasel
Aussie Larrikin ,   Wagga Wagga   (10.29.07)
http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2007/10/28/sot.el.baradei.iran.cnn
50. I kinda liked the "Altria" motives theory...
Max ,   NYC, USA   (10.29.07)
...proposed by "er, der!": at least it added a little levity. "Der", indeed!
