UN atomic watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei said Sunday he had no evidence that Iran is building nuclear weapons and accused US leaders of adding "fuel to the fire" with recent bellicose rhetoric.
"We haven't received any information there is a parallel, ongoing, active nuclear weapon program," the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency told CNN.
"Second, even if Iran were to be working on nuclear weapons ... they are at least (a) few years away from having such weapon," he said, citing Washington's own intelligence assessments.
"My fear (is) that if we continue to escalate from both sides that we will end up into a precipice, we will end up into an abyss. The Middle East is in a total mess, to say the least. And we cannot add fuel to the fire."
Interesting.
I'm curious as to why I haven't seen anything like this in the corporate media. They're doing the same things they did with Iraq; supporting a disastrous policy based on lies and false accusations. You'd have thought they would have learned the first time around.
As for Bush; he says no options are off the table regarding Iran. Pelosi needs to rethink her taking a certain item off of the table.
