Like ‘D’uh’
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has finally admitted that the Syrian site bombed by Israel in 2007 was a nuclear reactor.
Uranium particles found by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Syria are an indication that a site bombed by Israel in 2007 could indeed have been a nuclear reactor, the organization said in a new report Thursday.
The report included clearer language than previously used in IAEA analysis of the bombed site, known as al-Kibar or Dair Alzour, which Syria claims was not built for nuclear purposes.
“The presence of such particles points to the possibility of nuclear-related activities at the site and adds questions concerning the nature of the destroyed building,” IAEA chief Yukiya Amano wrote in his report to agency member states.
I wonder if this admission is related to the fact that Mohamed “Potato Head” ElBaradei is no longer in charge of the IAEA.
Meanwhile, a Syrian minister has denied everything.
“There was no nuclear reactor!”
Update: Another IAEA ‘Duh’ moment.
Iran may be working on secretly developing a nuclear warhead for a missile, the head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog agency said Thursday in a draft report.
It’s the first time that the the International Atomic Energy Agency has issued such a strong warning about current Iranian nuclear activities.

I remember the kind of hilarious news reports coming out of Syria… "We're really really upset by and Israeli flight over our country… but they didn't hit anything… that plant that disappeared from Google Maps was nothing… but we're really really upset!"
Wish we could do something like this to Iran.
Scrolling down, I expected you to put the picture of the former Iraqi Information Minister there… This is amusing too though.

We just had to wait until the initial incident was out of the news cycle for good…
The agency said "could" have been a nuclear site. You can't it just like the world can't prove the terrorists in Israel have nuclear weapons? OH well, until the next round of fighting…
