Israelis hit Syrian ‘nuclear bomb plant’(using N. Korean plutonium)

“I think the DPRK [Democratic People’s Republic of Korea] transferred to Syria weapons-grade plutonium in raw form, that is nuggets of easily transported metal in protective cans. I think the shaping and casting of the plutonium was supposed to be in Syria.”

Hmmmm.... didn't Syria also get a shipment from Saddam once he knew his a$$ was grass?

Oh, I forgot...THERE WERE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION FOUND IN IRAQ! /s

Jerusalem has a Hotel named Notre Dame?? WOW!!

Must be part of that "Judeo-Christian" thing all the muzlims are so upset about.....

Too much Chicken Politics, too little Power Politics. The Department of States needs more “Hawkishness”.

No credit for Bush. I am not his lover.

U.S. is doing the exact opposite of what it did to Soviet Union. Insistence on human right and thorough blockade are about to go out the window.

Bush is taking the road China appeaser does, which is entirely different from containment of Soviet Union. What is wrong with Bush now is that he is about to lift the containment policy on N. Korea.

Loving Bush is not necessarily patriotism nor conservatism.

For evereone: Check out www.prophecy.org . I have followed this gentlemen’s prophecies since 1996. He is startingly accurate. When you get to the site, type in ‘Ram’. According to this prophet, a nuclear terrorist attack occurs in San Francisco in the ‘Year of the Ram’. The year of the Ram happens every 12 years or something like that with the next one occuring in 2015 or 2016. The start of WWIII occurs with North Korea attacking South Korea. I have met this person also. No fleecing of sheep, gave his very health for this prophetic ministry.

Indeed on September 6 Israel was ready for war with Syria. Israeli sources said its military chiefs assumed Syria would launch a retaliatory attack, but no reprisal came.

Indeed on September 6 the USA was ready for possible consequences, too. I believe this was why the nuclear warheads were moved "by mistake".

Here are additional photos of the Al Safir weapons facility from the GlobalSecurity website. It is located just southeast of Aleppo which is where the SCUD chemical warhead exploded in July.

Man! The Syrians sure buried the plutonium detritus quickly. Look at the fill pits in both pictures. I bet that pit glows in the dark at night!

The very bottom photos are the ones I’ve been pimping since it happened - there’s something there. bttt

The tunnel entrances so close to the river are interesting - Saddam Hussein constructed a nuclear facility under a river hoping that the water would shield the radioactive signature from surveillance. I found another map that shows a railroad that runs from Al Safir to Dayr az-Zawr which would be a convenient way of transporting missile components.

Critics in the United States say proof that North Korea supplied such nuclear weapons material to Syria, a state technically at war with Israel, would shatter congressional confidence in the Bush administration’s diplomatic policy.

Seeing as it is the same kneepad policy as the Clinton Administration and coincidental with leftist demands to "negotiate" with NK, just what is it that these "critics" are suggesting would work short of annihilating Kim Jong Il's regime?

It’s like giving them a taste of their own medicine, poetic justice?

Count me among them.  And this leads me to say that I am dumfounded by the level of subterfuge necessary to bolster this sham peace process.

The Palestinians DO NOT concede Israel's right of survival.  What is there left to say?

What sort of legacy can come from this, that isn't one of an extreme negative connotation?

At precisely the time the DPRK is found to have aided in what might turn out to be a strike in the unstable Middle East we are de-listing the DPRK as a terrorist state...?

This is simply breath-taking....It's even dumber than Medelaine Albright, dumber than Jimmy Carter.

This is in the big, big leagues of Stupidity Stardom.

George Bush is the Jimmy Carter of the right and I'm embarrassed that there was ever a day that I believed in the man.
