Syrian nuclear program quite advanced.

"Recently, Kuwaiti daily newspaper Al Seyassah quoted European intelligence sources as saying that "Syria has an advanced nuclear program" in a secret site located in the province of Al Hassaka, close to the Turkish and Iraqi borders. British sources quoted by "Al Seyassah" believe that "it is President Assad's brother, colonel Maher Assad, and his cousin Rami Makhlouf, who supervise the program". This program is based on the Iraqi material that Saddam Hussein's two sons shipped to Syria before and during the war against Iraq. This explains, according to the daily newspaper, why international investigative teams found no proof of the program. "

I have to wonder if Iran is being loud about their nuclear program just to draw attention from Syria's nuclear program.

Well GEE!

Golly gosh.

They said many trucks went to Syria pre-war from Iraq.

What could have been in them?

Hmmmm I wonder.

I have reservations about this report.

The Syrians are not capable of engineering a functioning toilet, no less a deliverable nuclear device.

And if they did, the Israelis would have a great excuse to take out the remaining Assad clowns.

Well, we've been speculating for years on FR that Saddam shipped his WMD program to Syria...

Now what? Israel is rapidly approaching the point at which its very survival will depend on pre-emptive action...

And then we're next...

They are all collaborating to some degree or another.

Maybe they'll help us in Iraq if we ship them plutonium once a month.
