Report: Syria agrees to hide Iran nukes
World Tribune ^ | December 20, 2005

Posted on 12/20/2005 10:47:51 AM PST by West Coast Conservative

Syria has signed a pledge to store Iranian nuclear weapons and missiles.

The London-based Jane's Defence Weekly reported that Iran and Syria signed a strategic accord meant to protect either country from international pressure regarding their weapons programs. The magazine, citing diplomatic sources, said Syria agreed to store Iranian materials and weapons should Teheran come under United Nations sanctions.

Iran also pledged to grant haven to any Syrian intelligence officer indicted by the UN or Lebanon. Five Syrian officers have been questioned by the UN regarding the Hariri assassination, Middle East Newsline reported. "The sensitive chapter in the accord includes Syria's commitment to allow Iran to safely store weapons, sensitive equipment or even hazardous materials on Syrian soil should Iran need such help in a time of crisis," Jane's said.

The accord also obligated Syria to continue to supply the Iranian-sponsored Hizbullah with weapons, ammunition and communications. Iran has been the leading weapons supplier to Hizbullah, with about 15,000 missiles and rockets along the Israeli-Lebanese border.

The accord, negotiations of which began in 2004, was signed on Nov. 14 and meant to prepare for economic sanctions imposed on either Iran or Syria. Under the accord, Jane's said, Iran would relay financial aid to Syria in an effort to ease Western sanctions in wake of the UN determination that Damascus was responsible for the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

Iran also pledged to supply a range of military aid to Syria. Jane's cited technology for weapons of mass destruction as well as conventional arms, ammunition and training of Syrian military.

Teheran would seek to upgrade Syrian ballistic missiles and chemical weapons systems. Under the accord, Iran would also be prepared to operate "advanced weapon systems in Syria during a military confrontation." Jane's said.

"The new strategic accord is based on the existing military MoUs, with the addition of the sensitive chapter dealing with cooperation in times of international sanctions or military conflict," Jane's reported.

Guess what, IRaqis have been called ragheads in the past.

Guess what, I could give a fat rat's ass what anybody else called them. What's with this grade school level rag you've got going?

So what war were you referring to here:

"We don't have what it takes to win this war."

So far they probably agree with me. You sound like an east-coast Republican. Out here we call that liberal.

Okay, here's what we have here, a guy saying that we can't win the war, and then saying that we need to nuke parts of the U.S.

Say hello to Tigerseye, as the quotes are his.

The military? You're seriously deluded.

I interact with soldiers in Iraq regularly and they most assuredly do not agree with you.

Guess what? While I was in Iraq I worked DIRECTLY WITH the military, as did Allegra. You couldn't be FURTHER from correct. But since when do liberals like yourself ever care about being correct?

The military would also take offense at his post 47.

"We don't have what it takes to win this war."
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1544119/posts?page=47#47

And certainly they would not like his advocating nuking the U.S.

"We need to nuke the blue zones stateside too. Too many dim-bulb, traitor-trash weenies."

Did we run him off?

Yellow streak down his back?

Or did his mom come home from work and make him get off the computer and help carry in the groceries?

;-)
