Just some Republican fear mongering!And now Sarkozy mongering too (zee fwench no less!). French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's positions on Iran (more here)
Is it any wonder that Obambi has been endorsd by the Muslim world and Ahmadinejad and Qaddafi, and Hamas and Gazans?
Sources: Sarkozy views Obama stance on Iran as 'utterly immature' Haaretz hat tip Amaros
Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate's stance on Iran as "utterly immature" and comprised of "formulations empty of all content."
Obama visited Paris in July, and the Iranian issue was at the heart of his meeting with Sarkozy. At a joint press conference afterward, Obama urged Iran to accept the West's proposal on its nuclear program, saying that Iran was creating a serious situation that endangered both Israel and the West.
According to the reports reaching Israel, Sarkozy told Obama at that meeting that if the new American president elected in November changed his country's policy toward Iran, that would be "very problematic."
ElBaradei Warns of Nuclear Thefts (hat tip buff)
There were close to 250 thefts of nuclear and radioactive material in a 12-month period that ended in June, a figure International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamed ElBaradei yesterday called “disturbingly high,” the New York Times reported (see GSN, Sept. 29).
“The possibility of terrorists obtaining nuclear or other radioactive material remains a grave threat,” ElBaradei said in an address to the U.N. General Assembly. “Equally troubling is the fact that much of this material is not subsequently recovered.”
And that from El Baradei, every rogue nuclear regime's best friend.

However, there is not enough missing nuclear material to produce one actual atomic bomb, according to IAEA personnel and independent analysts.
