| UN chief gravely concerned™ by Israeli airstrike in Syria |
| 2013-02-02 |
| UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed "grave concern™" on Thursday over reports that Israeli jets bombed an apparent convoy of weapons near the Lebanese border and urged respect for the sovereignty of countries in the region. Harrumph harrumph harrumph, boys! Harrumph harrumph harrumph! "The Secretary-General notes with grave concern™ reports of Israeli air strikes in Syria," Ban's press office said in a statement. "At this time, the United Nations does not have details of the reported incident. Nor is the United Nations in a position to independently verify what has occurred." Ban Man didn't get his Times delivered yet I guess. "The Secretary-General calls on all concerned to prevent tensions or their escalation in the region, and to strictly abide by international law, in particular in respect of ... sovereignty of all countries in the region," the statement said. Very good, Johnson. Mind if I start my weekend now? UN peacekeepers in a demilitarized zone between Syria and Israel were also unable to verify a Syrian complaint that Israeli planes had flown over the Golan Heights to carry out the air strike."UNDOF did not observe any planes flying over the area of separation and therefore was not able to confirm the incident. UNDOF also reported bad weather conditions," Ban's spokesman, Eduardo Del Buey said. Nah, I was asleep. Let me ask the underage hooker I was with though. I think she was up. Nah, she said it was raining. Ending report. |

| #1 I wonder if the Secretary would be concerned with poison gas falling on Israel. Nah, I didn't think so. |
