Syrian Chutzpah
By Micah Halpern

Saturday October 4, 2008

I've Been Thinking:

Syria has chutzpah.

Syria is being investigated by the IAEA and yet, until yesterday, that fact did not stop the Syrians from trying to become a member of the 35 member IAEA board.

On the same day that Syria withdrew their nomination for the board, Syria told the IAEA inspectors that they could not inspect the bases in question. Syria said that they would fully cooperate with the IAEA but with a caveat - not at the expense of their national security.

Syria wants to emulate Iran's modus operendi. They announce total cooperation but then attach a slew of conditions and limitations.

And Syria gets away with it.
Last month the IAEA inspection committee reported that the evidence they had gathered in Syria concerning nuclear development was inconclusive.
