When Delay's the Game

After eight months of cleaning up, probably be scraping away all the top soil and replacing it with clean non-radioactive dirt and removing bits of North Koreans from the site, Syria says it will allow the UN to probe the alleged nuclear site that Israel demolished in September 2007:

Syria will allow in U.N. inspectors to probe allegations that the country was building a nuclear reactor at a remote site destroyed in an Israeli airstrike, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Monday.

If the UN inspectors are allowed to even leave their hotel, I imagine it will only be to visit the newly built baby milk factory that the Syrians built and then bombed located upwind from the actual suspect site.

And as we all know, once the UN is given the charge of inspecting, time is never an issue. Which is why Syria invited the UN in, of course, so long after the event.

I'm sure the Syrians will be happy to call Hans Blix out of retirement for another round of endless inspection games.
