On September 6, 2007, Israeli jets swept into Syria on a secret bombing raid. The news reports were slow in coming, and consisted almost entirely of rumors and fragments; nobody was really sure what was hit, or even whether anything happened at all. (Here is an example of the news at the time.)
But it did seem that something in Syria had been bombed. The fact that the Syrians were subdued in their complaints suggested that the target was a secret they couldn’t afford to reveal.
In recent days, facts have finally been released. We’ve learned the objective of the raid was to destroy an illicit nuclear reactor being built with North Korean assistance. Of course, the Syrians are claiming the evidence was faked by the CIA.
Now the International Atomic Energy Agency is condemning Israel and the US for not taking the issue to the U.N.
IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei has written a letter telling us how angry he is:
“The director general deplores the fact that this information was not provided to the agency in a timely manner, in accordance with the agency’s responsibilities under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), to enable it to verify its veracity and establish the facts.
“…the director general views the unilateral use of force by Israel as undermining the due process of verification that is at the heart of the nonproliferation regime.”
It really would be nice if we could trot these problems over to the U.N. and have them solved. Unfortunately, the reality is more like (Warning: Don’t click this link if you’re sensitive to vulgar language!) what we saw in “Team America”.
Kim Jong Il: Hans Brix? Oh no! Oh, herro. Great to see you again, Hans!
Hans Blix (the predecessor of Mohamed ElBaradei): Mr. Il, I was supposed to be allowed to inspect your palace today, but your guards won’t let me enter certain areas.
Kim Jong Il: Hans, Hans, Hans! We’ve been frew this a dozen times. I don’t have any weapons of mass destwuction, OK Hans?
Hans Blix: Then let me look around, so I can ease the UN’s collective mind. I’m sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me in, or else.
Kim Jong Il: Or else what?
Hans Blix: Or else we will be very angry with you… and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.
“Now the International Atomic Energy Agency is condemning Israel and the US for not taking the issue to the U.N.”
Does the above statement refer to the impotent debating society the currently has a NYC address? THAT U.N.?
If we wait for the limp d**ks at the U.N. to conclude their discussion and debate seesions enough time will have passed for the Syrians to have developed weapons grade Plutonium.
The irrelevant fools of the U.N. are as worthless, corrupt, and anti Israel as anything to ever emerge from the Nazi party. Israel owes them NOTHING!
