US says time may soon come for special UN nuke probe of Syria
 

VIENNA (AP) — A U.S. envoy on Thursday suggested time was running out for Syria to cooperate with a U.N. atomic agency probe of alleged secret nuclear activities before the agency invokes its seldom-used authority to call for a special inspection — a possible prelude to U.N. Security Council involvement.

Rising to Syria's defense, a senior Iranian diplomat accused the organization — the International Atomic Energy Agency — of harassing Syria by leveling false allegations in collusion with Israel and its allies.

The two officials spoke as the 35-nation atomic agency board meeting turned its attention from the agency's probe of Iran's nuclear activities to suspicions that Syria has a hidden nuclear program.

Israeli warplanes bombed what the U.S. says was a nearly finished nuclear reactor three years ago, launching an agency investigation. After an initial visit to the site, agency inspectors have not been allowed to return — or visit other suspect sites — and the agency's chief, Yukiya Amano, says Syria's lack of cooperation could mean that information sought by the agency could be lost with the passage of time.

Hmm, I got a wacky idea, just for S&G, for the novelty of it, how about the United States just butt the hell out of this? I think we have enough chestnuts in the fire at the moment.

No one elected us to be the world police and as a matter of fact, many resent our presumption.

Right because Syria and Iran are just so trustworthy, and the IAEA is not... :roll:

Very Trustworthy,
 

:haha:

It's policing for its own interest don't you realize this?:O:

That is a strange story, Syria and Israel turned the page on this episode a long time ago. No one has any burning interest in pursuing the story.

I suspect it has more to do with putting pressure on Syria and/or Russia over this:

WTH does a landlocked country need with anti-ship missles?

Syria isn't exactly land locked.

The pieces are of course mobile, and has a decent range, which can easily be redeployed if necessary

They might go good with Syria's new Iranian built Tir missile boats, if they can squeeze them aboard.

It might be a problem, then equipment and weight makes it difficult "terminal" in boa
 

the specifications,of these boats?

What happened to finding Bin Laden?, somehow everyone seems to have forgotten about him.
