Whether anything transpired remains to be seen

Um, I rather not.

From the Blogosphere (CQ):

The Vanishing Al Hamed

*************************EXCERPT*******************************

A North Korean ship that purportedly reflagged itself as South Korean to evade Western investigators has disappeared from view after the Israeli strike on Syria last week. The Al Hamed delivered what the Syrians classified as cement in the days before the strike, and an Israeli tracer says the ship has not been seen since:........................

************************snip*********************

The Al Hamed does not make frequent trips to the Mediterranean. In fact, Solomon only found one other listing for its transit, and that occurred in June of this year. In both cases, it flagged itself as South Korean for its deliveries to Syria, even though the DPRK owned the ship until this summer.

Also, Iranian and North Korean engineers have been going back and forth between their two countries for missile tests. Now that’s been kept relatively quiet.

Will be interesting to follow and see if the nature of the nuclear material is missile warheads. Syria would do this at Iran’s urging, but why wasn’t Syria designated as part of the Axis of Evil from the beginning?

ISrael should have destroyed the ship too.

Definitely not going to be the lead story on tonight’s ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN News.

Meanwhile, Congressional Liberals keep acting like appeasing morons. There is so much to use against the traitorous Liberals in the upcoming election if only the GOP had gonads.

Does anyone know why everyone involved with this incident wants to keep it quiet?

This is a very serious event...is there more to come?
Has NK turned on Syria and Iran?
What has France learned that has changed their position on an Iran attack?

1700 ton ship delivering cement from halfway around the world?
How cost effective is that? We get bigger loads from across Lake Ontario.

We should be monitoring these ships and targeting them right in the Nork’s harbors. This is outrageous!
