Syria Elected to UN's Nuclear Watchdog, I'm Not Kidding
This is is so absurd, so grotesque, it's actually funny.
Two weeks after Israel's alleged bombing raid in Syria, which some foreign reports said targeted North Korean nuclear material, the UN's nuclear watchdog elected Syria as deputy chairman of its General Conference on Monday.
The 51st session of the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) opened in Vienna on Monday and will run through Friday.
The Syrian news agency SANA proudly reported the election on Tuesday, adding that Syria was also successful in including "the Israeli nuclear arsenal as an item on the agenda of the conference."

Keep in mind that Syria just assassinated another Lebanese politician opposed to Syrian domination of Lebanese politics.
Keep in mind that Syria has been buying nuclear material from North Korea. That's why Israel mounted Operation Orchard and there was a big boom in western Syria.
Keep in mind that Syria is a particularly cruel fascist dictatorship.
Okey-doke, we can't resist.
Appointing Syria to the IAEA is like:
1. Putting a pedophile in charge of a kindergarten.
2. Appointing Goering to head up the Nuremberg Trials.
3. Having Lindsay Lohan as your drug counselor.
You get the idea.
We invite Seraphic Secret readers to contribute their whackiest analogies to compete with the U.N./Syrian axis.
It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
Is Syria a signatory to the non-proliferation treaty?

Kishke:
No.
But I don't believe Israel has signed either.
Hellooo, Dimona:)

Jeremiah,
I think carpet bombing would work better with the UN.
