Happy Columbus Day

This just had me laughing.

Equipment and materials that could be used to make nuclear weapons are disappearing from Iraq but neither Baghdad nor Washington appear to have noticed, the UN nuclear watchdog has said.

Satellite imagery shows entire buildings in Iraq have been dismantled.

That's when some tea went ballistic. Entire buildings associated with the Iraqi nuclear program have vanished. A comic variation on the neutron bomb -- kills buildings but leaves Occupation Forces healthy and confused. Oh well, the desk needed a wipe-down.

They once housed high-precision equipment that could produce nuclear bombs, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a report to the UN Security Council on Monday.

Equipment and materials helpful in making bombs have also been removed from open storage areas in Iraq and have disappeared without a trace, according to the satellite pictures, IAEA Director-General Muhammad al-Baradai said.

Jeepers. Its not just "sleepers" on the ground, its "sleepers" at the NRO's photo-analytical desks too. Maybe there is some new pattern recognition (blink comparitor) software that failed to blink, or got its fuzzy eyes crossed.

It is a hoot. Oceans of ink about Iran, where hordes of swarthy bad guyz in towels and AK47s mill about, and kit just ... er ... corrodes into thin nothingness in Iraq where orderly squads of impecibly commanded good guys and gals maintain an order that Bush and Alawi claim is just there, there just behind the glint on the screen, just off-camera, outside of the minor and isolated momentary unpleasentry the irresponsible media is constantly fixated upon, if not provoking, or heck, even staging.

A box of doughnuts to the first reader who finds the Washington Times has found the missing Iraqi nuclear kit ... in Iran! (They are working themselves up to something, they've trotted out the NRO's pseudo-Ayatollah in Paris to denounce Iranian infiltration into Iraq during Ramadan, when the real story is Iraqi clerics visiting Ayatollah Montezeri in Qom).

Christobol Columbo the Catalan was lost too, but then you knew that.
