“Mr. Chairman, nothing could be further from the truth. The way the IAEA works is accounting principles. They get to stand at one door and check as it goes in and then the back door to check if it comes out. If it does not come out, which it has not in North Korea, then there is a problem inside. In Japan, 150 went in, nine bombs' worth; 150 has not come out, nine bombs' worth. It is inside, or it has been diverted. The IAEA does not know and cannot certify. America loses its credibility with every other country in the world, friend and foe, if we engage in contracts with allies like Japan and then do not certify where nuclear bomb material could go that could threaten China or the Korean political situation in a way that could come back to haunt us 3 and 4 and 5 years down the line.”
