What happened in the Middle East on Sept. 6?

The first reports came from the Syrians, who said their air defenses fired at an Israeli warplane that had penetrated Syrian airspace and dropped some ordnance on the country's North. The plane then fled toward the Mediterranean at supersonic speeds, the Syrians said, noting that sonic booms had been heard.

A Syrian delegation was meeting Turkish officials about the same time,

“It could also be that Iran sees Syria as a greater threat than Israel”

Iran and Syria are partners. Iran doesn’t see tiny Syria as a threat at all.

.....there’s a fight coming....

The tense of that sentence is wrong.

The fight is presently underway.

If we are one nation, she delivered Assad a warning. History will produce the real answer.

American or Traitor?

Assad's had 20 days to comment (or even be photographed) and has so far declined.

If the theory of hacking Russian air defense modules (around the world, wherever they're installed) is correct, then we might be all slowly backing away from an '07 Bay of Pigs-type-urgency.

W has been projecting a grave demeanor for a while now, something he rarely does. This could go biblical, if Syria does something else crazy, forcing Israel to take out Damascus.

I have been through it again and there is one other very possible scenario.

Ehud Barack learned of a planned shipment of nuclear material when he took the office. How he learned in not known but presumedly it was from sources in North Korea.

A decision was made to allow the shipment and to closely track the vessel, allow it to reach port, disembark and be shipped overland to the site.

When stable, at the site, it was destroyed in a remarkable precise, clean and absolute manner.

Those making and receiving the shipment are stunned by the patience and competence of the combined effort to bring about the destruction.

.....But then this annoying, seemingly unrelated fact pops up, it seems Syria had a rather spectacular chemical weapons accident that killed both Iranians and Syrians, in the very recent past....

My take on your analysis is Syria got poked hard with a very sharp stick and rather than admit it, Syria blamed themselves for a serious accident that killed themselves and Iranians.

Better they admit serious gooof killing themselves and Iranians than North Koreans or Russians who also may have been killed in the air raid..

What I meant is that Iran probably trusts Israel with nukes more than it trusts Syria with them.
If that's not the case, they are bigger fools than anyone thinks.

How much confidence do you have in “...radars went dark”?

Maybe something was lost in translation,,,One of the reports
said that four SAMS were fired,,,never heard a word about
the Zsu-23’s or Quad-37’s/etc.,,,

Radars ‘went dark’ may have originally been radars ‘went blind’. Got messed up when it went through the babel fish. And the ‘accident’ in Syria was reported on 2 months ago when it occurred. Back then, no Iranians where stated as being killed. Just injured. And of course no mention of WMD agents. That did however occur around the time that Israel apparently ‘began the planning’ for this new air raid.
