- jjesusfreak01, on 11/04/2009, -16/+61So, Israel spies on diplomats of a country thought to be developing nuclear weapons, finds such evidence, and then bombs the facility. The Syrians keep quiet because they know they were caught red-handed, but lets go ahead and call out Israel for being the dangerous ones here.
- urik88, on 11/04/2009, -3/+40"Assad says the Israelis dropped the samples from the air when they bombed the facility in order to frame Syria"
lol - inactive, on 11/04/2009, -2/+30Whatever it was the Syrians didn't want the world to know, there was no typical organized Arab street protests with "down with Zionism!" slogans and they didn't go crying to the UN to place sanctions on the Zionist entity.
- macfan93, on 11/04/2009, -16/+44I don't see how Israel can be seen as the bad guy in this situation. Israel's enemy gives money to another country to make weapons and Israel bombs the facility. Would we do any different?
- uelansh, on 11/04/2009, -11/+33The Mossad are always doing neat stuff... lol
- vern01, on 11/04/2009, -4/+24Until proof shows up instead "reports" with words like "supposedly" and "reportedly" (propaganda IMO), I will withhold judgment.
- inactive, on 11/04/2009, -12/+30didn't read the articles with the details, did you? And that is why you look like a ***** idiiot. But I suspect you don't even care. To you, looking like a ***** idiot is a small price to pay as long as you THINK you made Israel look bad. (I have bad news for you...Israel did not look bad.)
Ask yourself why Syria didn't call this to the world's attention. - vault, on 11/04/2009, -1/+19...is what Victor Ostrovsky claimed was the former motto, a quote from Proverbs 24:6, where he in his own "translation" replaced the phrase "wise counsel" with "deception." The real motto is Proverbs 11:14, "Where no counsel is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."
- inactive, on 11/04/2009, -3/+18Yeah because we know Democratic-led Congresses don't get CIA intelligence reports...
- Idiggapony, on 11/04/2009, -10/+25It's an interesting story, if that's really how it happened. In any case, it's certainly a happy outcome for all of humanity. Syria, a country that's actively arming genocidal terrorists who routinely massacre civilians, starts a nuclear weapons program. And Israel manages to destroy their facility with a surgical airstrike, and perhaps some cloak-and-dagger espionage too. No collateral damage, no civilian casualties, no protracted land war, no painful occupation. No soldiers running over IEDs while on their way to protect one group of extremists from another group of extremists. If only containing the other terrorist scum of the Earth could be so simple.
- Tubal22, on 11/04/2009, -0/+15Maybe they wanted to see the data that would be on there the next day?
- EndAntiSemitism, on 11/04/2009, -10/+23Only on digg could Israel be made out by some to be the bad guy in an article describing how they took out illicit nuclear reactor facilities that was helped built by North Korea.
Congratulations Israel; with a surgical air-strike and no civilian casualties, you struck those terrorists down a peg and potentially saved many thousands of lives. - inactive, on 11/04/2009, -5/+18Geem maybe Israel doesn't tell us the details of every thing they do.
Because Clinton or Obama SURELY would have known about this....riiiiight. - prettychristy, on 11/04/2009, -2/+13Not ignorance. For this one, the United States' government is silently thanking the Mossad/Israel.
- joejitsu, on 11/04/2009, -0/+11Someone doesn't understand sarcasm.
- prettychristy, on 11/04/2009, -2/+11That sucks. "Damn if you do and damned if you don't," is the new epithet for Israel.
- AmnesiacJack, on 11/04/2009, -12/+20'By Way of Deception, thou shalt do War'
- manogamez, on 11/04/2009, -2/+10Finally someone with a reasonable reading of the article. This is all just fluff. No real substance.
- twiztidsinz, on 11/04/2009, -7/+15To quote Dick Cheney "I can't recall"
- snowcrazy, on 11/03/2009, -19/+26"The United States claimed ignorance."...this had to happen during the Bush administration.
- foopirata, on 11/04/2009, -0/+7Syria and Israel have been at war since 1948. There has been an armistice, but no peace accord. So it is a continuation of an existing war.
- RonADiSH, on 11/04/2009, -0/+7Unfortunately, evidence isnt necessary for people to pass judgment (especially when it comes to israel)
- Barackalypse, on 11/04/2009, -1/+7Well, perhaps Syria will re-think their policy of keeping plans for illicit nuclear facilities on laptops or re-think their plans for building such facilities in the first place.
- joejitsu, on 11/04/2009, -11/+17Whenever something bad happens in this part of the world its always Israeli's fault. The Middle East was perfect before Israeli was created.
- Ymeg, on 11/04/2009, -0/+6They aren't the most dangerous, but they certainly do conjure up images of the covert special ops guy. Other intelligence agencies remind us (at least me) of pencil pushers, but the Israelis have the image of the Hollywood spy.
- RonADiSH, on 11/04/2009, -0/+5"For some reason"
that sums it up - wpi97, on 11/04/2009, -0/+5...because typically, intelligence services operate through openness and honesty, right?
- mstrebe, on 11/04/2009, -4/+9So? Syria and Israel are enemies. This only surprising or even morally questionable if the reader is a blithering idiot who would rather have uncontrolled proliferation of nuclear weapons.
- wpi97, on 11/04/2009, -0/+5Right, if Syria builds a nuclear reactor than its purpose is surely peaceful. \s
- EndAntiSemitism, on 11/04/2009, -3/+7Yeah, "civil/energy/research purpose". That's why it was a secret, unreported base, that the Syrians didn't even acknowledge was destroyed.
Boy I always love the stories the anti-israeli ideologues come up with to rationalize their cognitive dissonance. - Long189, on 11/04/2009, -1/+5This wouldn't have happened if Syrians used Linux
- EndAntiSemitism, on 11/04/2009, -5/+9In this case "Pro-israeli" = anti-secret-illicit-nuclear-reactors-by-state-sponsors-of-terror, so yeah. And that's a good thing.
- howardstern1, on 11/04/2009, -3/+6Yea, thanks to Mordechai Vanunu. Too bad he isnt allowed to leave Israel or allowed to even speak to foreign reporters. ahh.....The great 'democracy' of israel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordechai_Vanunu - howardstern1, on 11/04/2009, -3/+6so it was okay for israel to develop their secret nuclear arsenal in secrecy?
- counterplex, on 11/04/2009, -2/+5It's true - Israel's is not a secret, clandestine nuclear facility. It's fairly well known to the rest of the world.
The US Congress Office of Technology Assessment has recorded Israel as a country generally reported as having undeclared chemical warfare capabilities, and an offensive biological warfare program. Officially Israel neither confirms nor denies possessing nuclear weapons.
http://www.princeton.edu/~ota/disk1/1993/9341/9341 ... - dandan111, on 11/04/2009, -1/+3Kudos, this is what the US should be doing with the Iranian nuclear plants at Qom, Bushehr, Natanz, and wherever these crazay jihadist radicals are trying to make nuclear weapons to kill the "evil westerners"
- Ymeg, on 11/04/2009, -4/+6I can't wait uptil we get to the other 23. It's crazy in here.
- gerbil20, on 11/04/2009, -4/+6Yep! And victory is defeat.
- RoiPerez, on 11/04/2009, -1/+3And what, your trying to say that if America had secret nuclear weapons, and then one day someone snitched on them, that the CIA/NSA/FBI wouldn't have been water-boarding him by now?
- EndAntiSemitism, on 11/04/2009, -4/+5You really think they could have kept it secret?
Seriously, if it was truly going to be for "energy" purposes, then like every other country in the world, they would have no problem acknowledging their existence.
If you haven't noticed, the only reason Iran's "energy" reactor sites still exist is BECAUSE they've thrusted them into the public eye; israel can't touch them until they're absolutely sure as it would be a massive amount of bad publicity.
The fact that the Syrians never bothered to announce to the world "oh no israel destroyed our energy reactor look everyone" after it happened speaks volumes. - urik88, on 11/04/2009, -6/+7You can understand sarcasm on the internet on some topics. Within this topic, you can never know.
Anyway, sorry if my sarcasm meter is indeed broken. I'll try to get another one one of these days. - cleantoe, on 11/04/2009, -3/+4Yeah, cause announcing they have ANY type of nuclear reactor and its location is going to sit well with the Israelis. It's working REAL well in Iran, isn't it?
- tugger, on 11/04/2009, -3/+4in a similar way that china didn't complain when a cruise missile landed just inside the back door of their iraqi embassy...
- counterplex, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2RoiPerez, I think the real question is how would you feel if an Irani scientist came out and told the world about Iran's clandestine nuclear weapons program in as much detail as Vanunu provided about Israel's nuclear weapons program?
- EndAntiSemitism, on 11/04/2009, -6/+7No I didn't. Are you sure you can read? Because it's almost as if you have no ***** idea what words I typed. Holy ***** talk about strawmen. Does anyone know how to use ***** logic here?
What "secret, clandestine nuclear facility" are you talking about by the way?
Looks like you're just talking out of your ass again.
Go ahead, keep trying to defend the builders of the illicit nuclear reactors. You are quite the clown. - EndAntiSemitism, on 11/04/2009, -5/+6Wrong again, troll. The terrorists in this case were the syrians building the illegal secret nuclear reactor (as reported by DER SPIEGEL):
"Syrian President Bashar Assad maintains that the facility was a conventional military installation. But Der Spiegel reports that in June 2008, a team of experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency analyzed soil at Al Kabir taken after the bombing and found traces of uranium that were “of a type not included in Syria’s declared inventory of nuclear material. Assad says the Israelis dropped the samples from the air when they bombed the facility in order to frame Syria.”
Of course, you probably agree with Kabir here and think it was some kind of super double-bluff false flag or whatever *****. I'd expect nothing less considering you have advocated for Israel itself to be nuked before. - mrfreyman, on 11/04/2009, -1/+2Thats awesome! Leave it to a Syrian to be so careless. Wouldn't it be great if Israel told Syria they should be wiped off the face of the earth the same way Iran did Israel? What kind of reaction do you think they'd get? 10 to 1 Syria would strike immediately. I just hope Israel gets to Iran quickly and the US backs them fully. The stall tactic Iran's using is only allowing them to stockpile nuclear material for use later. Next up: North Korea.
- toxtek, on 11/04/2009, -5/+6Wow. Only Israel can build illegal and secret nukes and weapons. Wow again.
