ElBaradei Says He WIll Quit IAEA If Iran Attacked Now

With all the hubbub over the elections here few folks have been watching what is happening in the Middle East. Seems like Israel is practicing military maneuvers for what appears to be an attack on Iran. Suspicions are running high that they might plan a bombing attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities much like the one they carried out on Syria several years ago.

Meanwhile, in an interview with IAEA’s General Mohammad ElBaradei the agency’s director says he will resign should an attach be carried out against Iran at this time. He said, “I don’t believe that what I see in Iran today is a current, grave and urgent danger. If a military strike is carried out against Iran at this time … it would make me unable to continue my work.”

Furthermore ElBaradei predicted that the Middle East would “become a fireball” should Iran be attacked when they are clearly not a present danger.

To think that Israel will be attacking alone is ludicrous. The Bush administration has been overtly and covertly encouraging such actions for months. It is time to write your congressperson and the President and tell him how you feel. Not that the president will listen, but at least you can know you made your objections clear!
