According to the AP, he head of the International Atomic Energy Agency Mohamed ElBaradei is upset about the Israeli bombing of the Syrian Nuclear Reactor.  You would think he would be.  You would think he would be upset about the North Koreans specifically violating the  nuclear non-proliferation regime.  You would think he would be upset about the Syrians actively seeking nuclear weapons.  You would think that all of this took place without the IAEA ever finding out any of this.  The purpose of his agency is to prevent this, after all.

But nooooo.  Not a word of reproach was heard about North Korea or Syria.

He is upset that the US didn't notify him until seven months after the reactor was restored.  He should be upset at me.  He should be upset at any listener of the Hugh Hewitt Show.  We knew about this a few weeks after it happened.  ElBaradei could have found out about it if he had just googled it.

He is also upset that the Israelis destroyed it before they got a chance to verify that it was a reactor that was to be used to build weapons.

Here is a hint. Neither Syria nor North Korea followed the protocols for transfer of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.  That alone goes to show that it was not peaceful.  Of course, the Syrians finished the job and destroyed the remains of the facility.  Nothing like a half destroyed nuclear facility to demonstrate your attempt to gain nuclear weapons.  Peaceful agents would not try to hide their efforts.  Then there is the total silence from Syria after the Israeli attacks.  If the Syrians were not doing anything nefarious, they would be complaining to the UN that they were attacked by the great Little Satan.

Instead of being livid about Syria and North Korea's violation of international protocols that ElBaradei is supposed to be policing, he gets upset at Israel for doing his job and at the US for not letting him and is agency in on it.  He is a petty bureaucrat defending his turf and caring nothing about his assigned mission.

This is just one example of the lack of credibility of so many international organizations.

At about the same time, another Syrian facility self-destructed.  Apparently, a chemical/biological weapons facility experienced an accident killing many of the Syrian and Iranian engineers in the process.  Of course, there were no WMDs in Iraq.  Not after they were smuggled out to Syria or to Iran.  In any case, it seems that we are seeing the first of these WMDs surfacing in Syria.  The liberals will continue to say there were no WMDs in Iraq.  They are now in Syria.  Or in Iran.  Or buried somewhere in Iraq.  Or . . .

Now, this has been a bad 12 months in Syria.  First, Israel bombs their nuclear reactor.  Then their WMD facility self-destructs. Then they get a visit from Jimmy Carter.
