Goodness Gracious..
IAEA Chief Mohamed ElBaradei channels Jerry Lee Lewis:
A military strike on Iran would turn the Middle East “into a ball of fire,” said Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog agency.
ElBaradei made the remarks in an interview aired on Saturday by Al Arabiya TV. The interview comes a day after reports emerged that Israel conducted a large-scale military exercise that the United States believes is in part a message to Iran that Israel has the capability to attack its nuclear program.
“In my opinion, any military strike — as I mentioned — is the worst thing that can happen now,” said ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
“It will make the Middle East turn into a ball of fire. It is a lot worse than having sanctions. A military strike will lead Iran, even if it plans today to manufacture a nuclear weapon, to establish a crash course to speed the process to have the weapon with the blessing of all Iranians, even those living in the West.”
He should stick to Bros.

In this morning’s radio news as broadcast by the Canadian public broadcaster, the CBC, it was mentioned that ElBaradei threatened to resign if Israel launches an attack on Iran to destroy any nuke-building sites.
Given ElBaradei’s capacity to police things so well, that North Korea was attempting to build a facility in Syria, well he should. He totally sucks at his job.
ElBaradei to resign ?…Another excellent reason for Israel to take care of business pronto..
