This isn't surprising. The Israelis don't have anything to prove, they know how effective they are, and the Syrians are embarrassed.
The interviewee on Coast this weekend said we were a hairsbreadth from nuclear war on 5 Sept. Of course, being on Coast along with UFOs and Bigfoot puts one into a speculative category so not much attention was given to the statement except poo-pooing and denial.
Israel Ping.
Makes me just want to go hide in my closet and NEVER come out again!!! Don’t want to know anything, anymore! La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! (That’s me, covering my ears, and closing my eyes, tight!) Whew!
With prior approval from Washington, Israeli F151 jets were scrambled and, minutes later, the installation and its newly arrived contents were destroyed.
So secret were the operational details of the mission that even the pilots who were assigned to provide air cover for the strike jets had not been briefed on it until they were airborne. In the event, they were not needed: built-in stealth technology and electronic warfare systems were sophisticated enough to blind Syrias Russian-made anti-aircraft systems.
F-15I's don't HAVE stealth capability. Which, if it really was an F-15I strike, is really bad news for anyone stupid enough to buy an SA-23 system from the Russians.
This guy seems to be hinting, without saying it, that it was an actual atomic bomb. If not that, at least components for a bomb and/or weapons grade plutonium/uranium. What else could start WWIII? Methinks a dirty bomb would not be enough.
I wonder if the RATS know about this, and if they are ignoring the dangers we face while they continue to obstruct our defense. If so, that is genuine treason, not just rhetorical treason as they usually commit.
Ever read Alas Babylon? Remember how the nuclear war started? Randy knew that when the Russians went silent, something bad was about to happen.
Hmmmm...the only way that could be true is if the North Korean shipment contained finished warheads, ready to go that very day onto Syrian missiles targeted at Israel. Dirty bomb material would not have been sufficient - and basic nuclear material would have taken time to prepare. Sounds like Israel destroyed the NK warheads in one place before they could be distributed to Syrian missile launch sites and mounted on delivery systems...but even had they not done that, "WWIII" would not have happened that very day.
The interesting question is: what did China know about this and did they tacitly approve of the North Korean shipment as a way of sticking a finger in the West's eye?
Has any third party detected any release of radioactivity in the last month?
I find it hard to believe that any bombing of such material would NOT result in some kind of release. Unless of course it’s solidly buried now.
I know exactly what happened. The North Koreans waited until the check cleared (using that slow boat) and then offered to sell the info to the Israelis.
Really. The F-15 is about as stealthy as Mothra
Ping!
China’s cut North Korea off from supply. If someone in China knew about it, I doubt that the Politburo approved it. Remember, they’re on their best behavior until the 08 Olympics are over.
No wonder the Russians are so freaked out about our Missile Defense Shield. Their systems can't even help defend against winged aircraft.
Cuban submarines were armed with nuclear torpedoes. The B-19 submarine, as all Cuban subs did, had Russian officers. One day they were getting depth charged by an American Destroyer. Two out of three command offices voted to use the Nukes. One did not. That man alone stopped WW III, as it had to be unanimous to launch.
Another brush with WW III was when the Mad Bomber of Kosovo ordered the British to attack the Russians at Pristina Airport and then took out the Chinese embassy.
