Syria Caught with Pics; ISIS report II Oct 25
THE INSTITUTE FOR SCIENCE AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ^ | Oct 25 | David Albright

Posted on 10/26/2007 4:47:43 PM PDT by abu afak

(Great Photos of Bulldozing & Complete building removal within) - ISIS has obtained commercial satellite imagery from DigitalGlobe taken on Oct 24, 2007 that shows the suspected reactor construction building completely removed and the Ground Scraped (Fig 2). -

ISIS released a report on Oct 23, 2007 that featured DigitalGlobe imagery from Aug 10, 2007 showing the suspected reactor construction site of the Sept 6, 2007 Israeli raid inside Syria. -

A comparison of these two images effectively confirms that this site was indeed the target of the Israeli raid (Fig 1-6). The pump house and secondary structure still remain in the Oct 24, 2007 imagery, but the suspected Reactor building has been Razed to the ground (Fig 2 & 6). -

Dismantling and removing the building at such a Rapid Pace dramatically complicates any inspection of the facilities and suggests that Syria may be trying to Hide what was there. - Iraq followed a similar strategy in the 1991 after the first Gulf War, though eventually the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and UN inspectors pieced together a full picture of Iraq’s activities. Iran razed the site at Lavizan and insisted that no prohibited nuclear activity was conducted at the facility. -- Tractors or Bulldozers can be seen in the Oct 24 imagery where the suspected reactor building once stood. - Scrape marks can be seen around the razed part of the site. - There also appears to be a trench in the Oct 24, 2007 imagery that is better defined than in the August 10, 2007 imagery. This trench may be more visible as a result of the Syrians digging up buried pipelines running from the pump station to the now-gone suspected reactor construction building.

Maybe the Syrians will send Israel a bill for finishing the job.

I’m sure “smoking Ruins” pics, if they exist are Classified Israeli Military Photos.

Not likely to see them any time soon- but I would like to see them as well.

as well as a Casualty count of Scientits etc and of course, North Koreans.

You can be sure that NRO and NSA have a lot of those! Plus air filter samples from recon planes. Plus a lot of other stuff they probably aren't going to reveal as it would show more of our capabilities and assets than they want to.

It would be very interesting though. :o)

Two aspects to this story.

1. Libs trying to use it as a club to screw with the NK treaty, throwing away National Security for unearned political gain,

2. A significant matter of National Security.

Real easy to tell the difference.

When new news comes out, it plugs into option 2.

When the same tired old facts are trotted out for the 517th time and rehashed, see option 1.
