The U.N.'s IAEA Admits They're Worthless

Mohamed ElBaradei, Director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said that the organization "has so far not been able to verify some important aspects of Iran's nuclear programme." Some excerpts:
He specifically cited key questions related to the scope and nature of Iran's centrifuge enrichment activities, "as well as those relevant to alleged studies and other activities that could have military applications".

As a result, the UN watchdog was "unable to provide credible assurance about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities," ElBaradei complained.

The Egyptian-born diplomat noted that the IAEA had seen an increased level of cooperation from Iran in answering questions about the past, but its knowledge of Tehran's current programme has "diminished" since 2006.
Basically, the head of this agency is admitting they are clueless and worthless when it comes to Iran's nuclear ambitions and capabilities.

This should go a long way in quieting all those people who complained about the incorrect intelligence used by the entire world to justify the Iraq invasion, and those who continue to complain about needing to let the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog agency 'do its job'. Clearly, they are incapable of doing their job.

This is why America needs to rely on its own resources rather than the worse-than-worthless United Nations.

There's my two cents.
