Unrepentant Right Winger: Taheri Praises Mubarak, Calls for War in Gulf……………
"First, Hans Blix, the Swedish director of the IAEA, pulled the wool on he governors' eyes by admitting that Iran might have cheated on its obligations under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) but still merited being given a second chance. His successor, the Egyptian Mohamed ElBaradei went further by casting himself in the role of apologist-in-chief for Tehran’s nuclear program. Even when IAEA inspectors discovered evidence that Tehran was secretly enriching uranium, something that the mullahs had repeatedly denied, ElBaradei insisted that the intentions of the Islamic Republic were purely peaceful. The IAEA’s new director, the Japanese Yukia Amano has no desire to play happy cuckold and harbors no presidential ambitions..... Those who regard a nuclear-armed Khomeinist regime, now increasingly dominated by its military-security elite, as a threat to regional and world peace, would have to think of something more effective for dealing with a regime bent on defying the United Nations.........."
Thus opined Amir Taheri, a denizen of American neocon right-wing media with a strong hint that perhaps only war will dissuade the crazy mullahs in Tehran who may get impatient with the awaited Mahdi and decide to pull the temple down too early
He still disses Hans Blix, who was proven right on Iraq, and admires Dick Cheney who was proven deadly wrong on Iraq. Now that is a cheeky neocon.
