#1 He's useless. The guy that replaces him will be useless. What's the point of wasting the effort?

#2 Don't agree: A proven idiot will always be a proven idiot.
A not proven idiot might turn out not to be one.
The US should have made an effort to find a presentable candidate. I can't believe that there aren't a few specialists out there ready to take the job.

#4 ElBaradei is a Moslem mole, working to support the spread of nukes in the axis of evil. That's why he must go. We can't afford more NoKos, Iraqs, Irans, Pakistans and Lybias of the last 15+ years. I suggest to watch out for Egypt and Venezuela.

#5 Maybe I should run.
I know that Iran's producing bombs.
That's more than Baradei does.

#7 In April, the board's Canadian chairwoman, Ingrid Hall, told board members the United States was the only country opposing ElBaradei. Since the agency tries to reach all decisions by consensus, the vote was delayed.

Early this year IIRC there was talk about this month being when the WH would decide on a strategy re: Iran's nukes. Does this move now mean the decision is made?

#8 There's certainly no requirement that the individual be technically qualified in nukes - Baradei's got some piece of paper related to International Relations or something. He's a UN Specialist, lol, and wouldn't know a nuke from a pumpkin.

#9 Actually, ElBaradei was the head of Egypt's nuke programme and left shortly before Sadat signed their "peace" treaty with Israel.
