The IAEA should focus of doing their duty and thus staying away from politic. Israel, how problematic may be; has the right to self-defense. There is a possibility, if foretold in advance; El Baradei's office might misuse the timing factor and allowing the Syria to cover up all evidences related to this violation. I do not think El Baradai is honestly performing his job as it should. His delaying tactics favoring Iran is such a clear case of misusing the IAEA office. Please do your assignment, and let the politicians who are paying the bill at the UN play their games. It reminds me about the boxing judges for Ray Jones in the Olympic in S.Korea. Honestly without agenda will better promote world peace, OK.

Mohammed Al-Baradai is upset he did not get prior information so that he could warn his Syrian co-religionists. What a surprise!

Remember, this is the guy who ignored and white-washed Iran`s secret nuclear program until a group of dissidents (not he!) came out with it and broke the secret.

Talking about putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.

So North Korea was helping Syria (which refuses to sign int'l chem/bio/nuke disarmament treaties...) build a nuke facility capable of producing weapons grade material and the same IAEA guy who basically gave Iran a free pass in this endeavor denounces Israel's attack upon the rogue regime of Baby Assad?

Why, it's almost like there is some kind of axis of evil out there, and it's comprised of Stalinist North Korea and totalitarian Mohammedan regimes in the mid East.

AND WHAT ISREAL BOMBED THE PLACE AFTER GETTING OK'S FROM DUBYA AND CO. I saw the nifty little video with narrarations and graphs, reminiscent of oh 6 years ago. By the way where is the conclusive proof, from what I saw it was CG effects for the outer building and some camera pics of some building from the inside. I didnt see any distinct markings that it was in fact in Syria.

When did the world decide israel or the US gets to decide who and who cant have a nuclear program. You all must think because the US has one someone responsible is at the button. PULEASE, I would like to see the US destroy a Russian site or even do a fly by on NK. Funny how some places are just off limits for the US and their whims.

"They have never ever complained to us about anything"

That's why Syria was this close to having a secret nuclear reactor.

DXXJP - Dream on.

Well I'm guessing more knowledgeable people than you and me will be reviewing the evidence. I'm also guessing that if the building isn't in Syria then the Syrians might add that to their defense.

But I'm just speculating about the above.

Saying, "I don't like the accuser and I like the accused" isn't evidence.
