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?

Israel and the US are not going to broadcast how much they know, because they do not want to give away sources and methods that are still in use. The enemy does not want to broadcast what they are doing, the fact that they got caught, or what they lost.

But the oil price is quite eloquent - a record $81 a barrel today, up $12 in the last month, with oil industry analysts scratching their heads and saying it is "unexplained" (see the weekend's Barron's e.g.). It is explained all right, just read this stuff or listen to the French. It is a war fear premium.

You better keep questioning EVERYTHING, cause nobody's telling the straight dope on ANYTHING right at this particular time.

I don't know about you, but I feel a really peculilar tension building up and this week feels like somethings gonna really POP!!! (but, then again, I could just be full of poop)

Things really are getting hot. The eraser head may have been pursuaded to stop siding with the Syrians and Persians if he wants his people to finally be feed, and keeped from freezing up this winter.
France, Germany and England must know the details for the most parts as to what may happen with Syria and Iran in the days to come.
I do hope we read about events after the facts, verse getting to much stuff via. the scuttle butt circuit.
Loose lips sink ships. Thought we will be victorious in any military actions, no use the opposition even having a clue as to what angles their bruises will come from.
It helped to have Saddam confused with the bull shit the Russkies gave him, as to the main attack coming from Jordan. He took it hook,line and sinker by all indications. Let Syria and Iran stew a bit over where the first blows may come from.
