Attack on Iran would be 'catastrophic', IAEA says

[Nutmegger]

DAVOS, Switzerland - An attack on Iran would be catastrophic and encourage it to develop a nuclear bomb, Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said on Thursday.

"It would be absolutely counterproductive, and it would be catastrophic," ElBaradei said at a discussion on nuclear proliferation at the World Economic Forum.

The Bush administration in recent weeks has toughened its stance against Iran, which the West has accused of seeking to secretly build an atomic bomb, raising fears among political and business leaders that the US plans an attack.

President George W. Bush has moved an additional aircraft carrier into the Gulf and told Iran that he would not allow it to provide weapons and support to insurgents in Iraq.

2. Well, then congratulations are in order

As the original "Page Two Boy" I frankly admire your achievement. But please don't be disheartened. What you post is something we all kinda know already. The place to post this is at work, at church, or at your local Republican Party headquarters.

3. Thanks but I don't need your congratulations.

I just wanted people to see this. One kick is usually my cut-off, then I leave it be. I'm so terribly sorry that you knew this already but I haven't heard this and I don't think others have as well.

Thanks for your "kind" reply.

10. Nothing tempts neocons more than dire warnings from experts.

They seem determined to fuck up as broadly and deeply as possible. They appear to be going for some kind of fuck up world record.
