Rip VanBaradei wakes from 20-year sleep

Stunning, stunning news from the United Nation’s International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei yesterday;

Iran wants the ability to build nuclear weapons to gain the reputation of a major power in the Middle East, the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog said in a BBC interview broadcast Wednesday.

I’m shocked, aren’t you? This is the first I’d heard of this. But, ElBaradei may have made this announcement without examining all of the facts;

Tehran denied the assertion.

Oh, well, I feel better. Go back to sleep ElBaradei.
