IAEA: Syria’s too stupid for nukes

Hey, the agency that slept through Pakistan, India, and North Korea getting nuclear weapons doesn’t think that Syria has the know-how to build a bomb. The organization that totally missed the A.Q. Khan nuclear weapons black market doesn’t think that Syria can field a nuclear program because, gee, it’s not like they could get it from, oh, North Korea or anything. Because that’s never happened before, one nation helping another get nuclear weapons. Right, Pakistan? Right, North Korea?

There is no evidence Syria has the skilled personnel or the fuel to operate a large-scale nuclear facility, the head of the United Nations atomic watchdog said in remarks aired on Tuesday.

“We have no evidence that Syria has the human resources that would allow it to carry out a large nuclear program. We do not see Syria having nuclear fuel,” International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamad ElBaradei told Al Arabiya television.

Uh-huh. And you have no evidence because Syria refuses to allow your inspectors onto the sites. Oh, wait. They buried the site beneath tons of sand. Guess you’ll have to just take a long hard look at it and determine whether or not Syria had the know-how.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m convinced.

Shyeah.

    We have no evidence that the IAEA possesses intelligence.

  2. Alex Bensky Says:

    And thank goodness the Syrians wouldn’t come up with the idea of bringing in experts from, oh, say, North Korea or Iran to help them. Israel can rest easy.

  3. Eric J Says:

    It’s a good thing that Arab culture won’t allow them to bring in foreign experts to build and run high-tech sites.
