At the United Nations, the Bush administration has officially opposed the reappointment of the U.N.'s top nuclear inspector. Mohamed ElBaradei received the support of all other 34 nations on the board of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The U.S. opposition has essentially blocked ElBaradei's reappointment for now since the board usually acts by consensus. The Bush administration has openly squared off with ElBaradei since he accurately doubted that Iraq had a nuclear weapons program.
