Which means the Russkie Air Defense Systems sold to Iran are so much scrap. No wonder the Israeli Air Force Chief as much as said “Iran - no problem”.

Russia’s “state of the art” defense systems exposed as junk by U.S. standards is probably what has the democrats and their commie allies around the globe so pissed off about Israel this time.

Wow. Looking at those before and after photos, not only did the Israeli aircraft destroy the site, they also cleared the rubble and bulldozed it.

the likelihood is that the Iranian programme will suffer a similar fate. What a sweet day that would be

Vaporized things don't need much bulldozing - and the twin towers were not destroyed by US either

You need to take a closer look at the photos, and compare them to some aerials of Ground Zero (if you prefer).

The bombing of the nuke factory is an entirely different scenario than the Twin Towers collapsing - and the resulting scene would/is quite different.
Your thin allusion to hoax is slimy - oh, and ignorant

Is there any nexus between the Syria-N Korea connection and the hasty transport of Iraqi “WMDs” taken to Syria prior to the 2003 invasion?

in return for a relaxation of the trade sanctions that have crippled the North Korean economy...
This is an absurd statement. The NK economy was destroyed before a single sanction was imposed. Just look at the map of the earth at night and how little lighting there is in NK. No socialism/communism has destroyed the NK economy.

Schtumy, but they made a schmeer out of those schmucks!

The mission was so successful that the first that the Syrians knew of the attack was when their Turkish neighbours reported that the bombers had returned safely to their base in northern Israel."
I would think that the site blowing up might have been their first clue.

I’m alluding to a hoax? Lay off the sauce, you drunk, it’s still early.

Any possibility it was booty from Iraq that led to the radiation levels as some in internet land have proclaimed?

I think the real reason for the particular timing of the attack was that the Chinese were about to break ground on a refinery project nearby that site. To wait any longer might risk a serious international incident involving the death of Chinese nationals. No doubt the Syrians, N Koreans and Chinese collaborated on this refinery “shield” defense.
Otherwise, as with the Osirak reactor in Iraq, the attack would have made more sense to wait for the nuclear facility to be further along before destroying it, assuming the air defenses were already in place.
