Mohammed El Baradei is a well-respected man in international circles. He’s the former head of the IAEA, the organization that is responsible for making sure signatories of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (one of which is Iran and, contrary to popular belief, Israel never signed it) keep their promises. He spent years telling us that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful. Three years ago, he told us that Syria wasn’t capable of carrying out a nuclear program, in spite of evidence to the contrary from the bombed site. In fact, three and a half years ago, I wrote about the Syrian attempt to hide evidence that the buildings were for nuclear weapons:
Of course, they could FedEx them to Mohammed El Baradei, and he still would be unable to find any evidence of Syrian nukes, but that’s a different post altogether.
This is what El Baradei said a year after the plant was bombed:
“We have no evidence that Syria has the human resources that would allow it to carry out a large nuclear program. We do not see Syria having nuclear fuel,” International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamad ElBaradei told Al Arabiya television.
He said, on more than one occasion, that Syria was not building nuclear weapons.
He was wrong. Really, really wrong.
Now El Baradei is running for president of Egypt. He is being hailed by the west as a moderate, in spite of calling for war with Israel in the event of another Gaza conflagration.
The masks are falling off. He is being revealed for the liar that he always was—the man who covered for Iranians as they get closer and closer to nuclear weapons. But here’s the kicker: Watch for the media to ignore this proof of lies, just as they ignored his call for war against Israel.
