Witless

clipped from tank.nationalreview.com I couldn't help but laugh out loud reading the following paragraph in the New York Times on President Bush's decision to keep the nature of the Syrian nuclear facility destroyed by Israel quiet since September. The International Atomic Energy Agency last week criticized the United States for withholding information about the site and Israel for destroying it, saying both actions undermined efforts to verify whether it was a nuclear reactor being built with the assistance of North Korea. You just can't make stuff like that up unless you've got a gig at The Improv this Friday night. We have learned about IAEA "efforts to verify" the nature of nuclear facilities under recalcitrant regimes. North Korea did the verification for an unwitting IAEA. Iran remains in the process of "verification" fully 5 years after its clandestine program was brought to a yet again unwitting IAEA
