IAEA's Syria Investigation Plods On

The IAEA has reported that Syria may have buried remnants of the facilities bombed by Israel during the September 6 raid last year. No one knows the truth but the Syrians, and they're not talking. Of course, the IAEA finally got around to looking at this nine months after the fact, and only then got led around on a dog and pony show and couldn't independently evaluate the site to find out the truth. Their preliminary report finds no traces of nuclear program but notes that the Syrians may have buried the evidence.



Figures. The IAEA waited until Syria buries the evidence - literally under concrete - and then it proclaimed that nothing was found nothing because the areas Syria let you look at didn't contain any traces of the stuff you were looking for. Syria has been blowing off the IAEA and running interference to prevent the IAEA from doing a thorough and timely investigation.

Syrian forces literally sanitized the area after the bombing, and had months to get that done. Yet, we're supposed to believe the IAEA found nothing and that the Syrians weren't working on a nuclear facility? Right.
