Bizarro universe indeed.
Fox News’ Brit Hume tweeted out a link to an article and proclaimed, “are you kidding me?” You see, United Nations weapons inspectors aren’t going to find out who used chemical weapons in Syria. No really:
UN weapons inspectors mission is only to find out IF chemical weapons used but NOT who used them. Are you kidding me? http://t.co/4VdVeSkjy6

More from The Wall Street Journal:
On Sunday, the U.N. said its inspection team was preparing to start its fact-finding mission on Monday after Syria said it would allow U.N. personnel now in Damascus immediate access to the affected areas.
“The team must be able to conduct a full, thorough and unimpeded investigation,” said U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Sunday night. However, the team is only mandated to determine if chemical weapons were used, not who used them, Mr. Ban’s spokesman said.
Wow. Full and thorough? That doesn’t mean what he thinks it means.
.@brithume Truly bizarre. So why is the UN mission to Damascus not empowered to work to determine who was behind any chem attack?

Yes, why? That Twitter user answered his own question:
@DavidMorton359 Well, this is the UN we're talking about here. @brithume
