ElBaradei to Iran

As if this all isn't Kabuki theater to pretend that something is being done to stop Iran from getting a bomb.ElBaradei , who consistently underplayed the Iranian program the last person any of us should trust in regards to Iran's nuclear development. Winner of the peace prize for a reason no one can explain, he will be retiring from the IAEA on Nove 30th.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - The head of the U.N. nuclear agency will arrive in Iran on Saturday to discuss a timetable for inspectors to visit a newly disclosed nuclear enrichment plant, a senior official said.

"Mohamed ElBaradei will discuss details over the agency's inspections of the new enrichment site," the official, who declined to be named, told Reuters. "He will not visit any nuclear site during his trip to Iran."


The trip takes place two days after Iran agreed with six world powers in Geneva to allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors unfettered access to the enrichment plant near the Shi'ite holy city of Qom.


The West suspects the Islamic state is seeking to build bombs. Iran insists it needs nuclear technology to generate power to meet booming domestic demand.


Tehran denies the West's accusations that its second uranium enrichment plant under construction was clandestine.ElBaradei has said Iran was "on the wrong side of the law" in failing to declare the plant as soon as plans were drawn up.


With word last night that the Obama admin is al ready backing of immediate inspections its pretty clear any aggreement to inspect will come after the Iranians cleared the place out, assuming they bothr to let the inspectors see the whole site anyway.
