VIENNA, Austria (AP) - The United States is seeking backing from allies in a possible bid to oust the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency at a meeting later this month, diplomats and Western government officials said Wednesday.

During the same Feb. 28 meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Washington also will increase the pressure on Iran for allegedly trying to make nuclear weapons, the officials told The Associated Press.

Washington considers IAEA head Mohammed ElBaradei too soft on Iran and its alleged plans to make nuclear arms and the international community ineffective in dealing with the same perceived threat.

No U.S. comment was available for Washington's strategies for the upcoming IAEA board of governors meeting.



Can you hear those war drums a beatin'?

What a charade this is turning into!

1. Counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums

Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.

Count the bodies like sheep
Count the bodies like sheep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Count the bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

12. Thanks!

3. El Baradei was the one to call the Niger docs forgeries

mostly ignored until Wilson pushed the issue months later.

Also, El Baradei could be seen looking visibly incredulous, along with Hans Blix, during Powell's phony UN presentation.

8. DING DING DING!!!!! El Baradei called the Niger docs fake.....

and the Plame/Gannon story is heating up.

There are no coincidences, are there?

[Supersedeas]

14. Iraq MO was to demonize Hans Blitz...in Iran they have other character to

assassinate


Don't hear much about how right Hans and Scott Ritter were from the MSM types, do we?

[Tempest]

4. They tried this last year - and failed

World leaders came to ElBaradei's defense despite administration attempts, and Bush was forced to acknowledge he was doing a good job.

This effort also will fall flat on its face.

5. Ask the UN to stop it before it starts

6. Let me guess...

ElBaradei doubted the US's claim of nukular weapons programs in Iraq before the war, right? What do I win?

7. Do you think instead that we could get them to help us get rid of

Stump?

10. I think the US is about to get a spanking by the rest of the world.

The US has zero credibility at this point.

11. Nothing the chickenhawks do anymore surprises me...

These guys would sell their grandmothers for a chance to go to war...

Unbelievable, the shit state our country is in right now.

15. Sell their grandmothers?

These scum would make war on their grandmothers for oil or for arms profits.

[underpants]

13. Perfect timing as there isn't anything going on with nukes right now

:eyes:

16. Amazing. It's not just "dissidents" in America he would silence, it's

everybody, worldwide, who do not agree to kiss his ass.
