Looks like Nancy Pelosi's trip did a whole lot of good..
The United Nations and their blind, toothless nuclear watchdog the IAEA were totally clueless about Syria’s nuclear plant.
But don’t worry, they’ll get to the bottom of this. Why, they’ve already been in contact with Syria to ask them what’s up.
VIENNA (Reuters) - The U.N. nuclear watchdog did not know about any undeclared atomic plant in Syria and has asked Damascus about information that such a site was targeted by an Israeli air strike, a spokeswoman said on Monday.
Citing unidentified U.S. and foreign officials with access to intelligence reports, the New York Times said on Sunday the nuclear reactor was partially built and apparently modeled on one in North Korea used for stockpiling atomic bomb fuel.
“The International Atomic Energy Agency has no information about any undeclared nuclear facility in Syria and no information about recent reports,” spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said in a statement issued from the IAEA’s Vienna headquarters.
“The IAEA is in contact with the Syrian authorities to verify the authenticity of these reports,” she said.
Because, why would they lie?
