| IAEA to look into Gaza uranium bombs claim |
| 2009-01-22 |
| The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said on Tuesday it would look into a claim by Vienna-based Arab ambassadors that Israel may have used ammunition containing depleted uranium in Gaza attacks. The International Atomic Energy Agency said the request was made in a letter addressed to Director General Muhammad al-Baradei and was delivered by the Saudi Arabian ambassador on Monday on behalf of other Arab diplomats. "We are circulating the letter to member states and will investigate the matter to the extent of our ability," IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said. She said the IAEA had not yet decided on its course of action as it needs to check with member states first. The Israeli ambassador to the IAEA, Israel Michaeli, declined to comment on the letter while a spokesman for the Israeli military said he was checking the report. |

| #3 How about we ship the IAEA's offices to Gaza. Since they're so all-fired eager to go investigate bunker-buster bombs, why don't we give 'em offices and houses in Gaza City, wait for the Hamas-moles to dig command bunkers under IAEA offices, and see if they want the Israelis to bomb their offices flat in the vain hope they'll collapse the tunnels, or whether they'd prefer DU deep-penetrating delayed-detonation rods which'd make nice neat patchable holes in their foyer & nice red aerisol mists of the turds who put them in danger by hiding behind them in the first place? Ugh, sorry for the run-on... |

| #2 Gee. The IAEA gets right on this, but lets the obvious Syrian situation languish for months before it rolls over and grudgingly agrees to check things out if Syria is willing. I forgot where I was going with this. |
