Mohamed ElBaradei is seeing history repeat itself - this time with Iran

http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/world/2007/09/14/think-tank-buzz-is-building-on-the-chances-of-war-with-iran.html

<snip>

To those opposed to military moves, the buzz sounds all too familiar. They hear an echo of the administration-inspired media churning preceding the March 2003 Iraq invasion, replete with many of the same personalities and groups active in that drama. This month, the man leading United Nations efforts to monitor Iran's nuclear programs, Mohamed ElBaradei, warned about the pounding of "war drums from those who are basically saying, 'The solution is to bomb Iran.'" ElBaradei added, "We do not see...a clear and present danger that requires that you go beyond diplomacy."

1. He would know
I remember Rush Limbaugh accusing ElBaradei of being willing to, upon finding Saddam's weapons programs, run and tell Saddam he'd better hide them better.

He's heard this song before; we all have. The only question is whether or not we are going to buy into it, this time around.
