What to make of this?

Scare headline over at FAUX news.com:

Syrian Official Says Israeli Airstrike Hit Nuke Facility

"Israel was the fourth-largest exporter of weapons of mass destruction and a violator of other nations' airspace, and it had taken action against nuclear facilities, including the 6 July attack in Syria," Syrian representative Bassam Darwish is quoted in the document as saying.

And they give a link to the U.N. document...

...where no such phrase appears.

This is as close to the FAUX version as it gets:

Moreover, the entity that was the fourth largest exporter of lethal weapons in the world, that which violated the airspace of sovereign States and carried out military aggression against them, as had happened on 6 September against Syria, such an entity, with all those characteristics and more, had no right to go on lying without shame.

Okay, two possibilities: 1) the UN is in some kind of grand conspiracy to hide the existance of a Syrian nuclear program by editing it out of obscure General Assembly documents, or 2) FAUX is catapulting the propaganda like good little zombies.

I know which I'm tending towards.
