Syria's foreign minister suggested Wednesday that Israeli bombs may be the source of uranium traces that diplomats at the U.N. nuclear agency said were found at a suspected nuclear site.
Walid al-Moallem said the diplomatic leaks about the traces found at the site, which was targeted by Israeli warplanes in September 2007, were politically motivated and aimed at pressuring Syria.
Wow. Never say die, eh?
The North Koreans could learn a lesson or two from their Syrian customers:
North Korea said Wednesday that it won't allow outside inspectors to take samples from its main nuclear complex to verify the communist regime's accounting of past nuclear activities.
Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it never agreed to such sampling, contradicting statements by U.S. officials last month following a breakthrough deal about how to verify North Korea's list of nuclear programs the regime submitted in June under a disarmament pact.
Why derail chances of getting money flowing north by demanding no sampling? Just do what the Syrians do and blame the Jews for any inconvenient radioactive evidence!
You think Europeans are going to object? Will our Left fail to nod their heads and frown at the Israelis?
After all, ignoring evidence of violations is all just our part of the agreed framework when it comes to North Korea's nuclear plans.
