Le Monde to IAEA: Liars!

Le Monde has evidence that Mohammed El Baradei was lying when he declared yesterday that Syria didn’t have the knowhow to create a nuclear weapons site.

The website of the French news agency Le Monde reported that information originating in different countries other than the US and suggesting that Syria did indeed build a nuclear reactor in Al Kibar, was handed over to the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) recently.

This report contradicts the most recent statement made by the UN’s nuclear watchdog, in which it denied having any knowledge leading to the conclusion that Syria had the knowledge and means to build such a reactor.

According to the French report, the new information confirms earlier claims that North Korea had assisted Syria in its nuclear endeavors. This negates a speech made on Tuesday by IAEA Director General Mohammad ElBaradei, who said in an interview to Al Arabiya television that “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.”

Say, remember when I said just yesterday how I think we’re going to find out that El Baradei was in the Mullahs’ pockets all along?

I didn’t think it would be this soon.

Can’t wait to hear the spin from El Baradei and the UN. “No, we weren’t lying. Syria didn’t have the manpower. They had to bring in North Koreans.”

Wow. Just—wow.
