Cut and Cover

Why is the United Nations covering up for an inadvertant admission by the Syrians that the Israeli raid on September 6 apparently hit a Syrian nuclear facility that no one in the UN knew about?

As Allah points out in his exit paragraph:

Do a word search in the UN document and see for yourself how many times the word “nuclear” was used during the meeting, including by Arabic-speaking diplomats from Kuwait and Lebanon. The interpreter got it right everywhere else in the document — but just happened to make a mistake at a fantastically sensitive part of the Syrian ambassador’s statement? The guy obviously let the genie out of the bottle inadvertently and now the UN is trying to put it back in before it sets people in the region even further on edge. Beyond pathetic.

It's also pathetic that the UN would cover up for dictators, but then again, the UN is a coffe klatch for dictators and despots where they get an equal say on world events, right alongside consensual democracies.
