Israeli commandos seized nuclear material of North Korean origin during a daring raid on a secret military site in Syria before Israel bombed it this month, according to informed sources in Washington and Jerusalem.
The attack was launched with American approval on September 6 after Washington was shown evidence the material was nuclear related, the well-placed sources say.
They confirmed that samples taken from Syria for testing had been identified as North Korean. This raised fears that Syria might have joined North Korea and Iran in seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.
Israeli special forces had been gathering intelligence for several months in Syria, according to Israeli sources. They located the nuclear material at a compound near Dayr az-Zwar in the north.
Evidence that North Korean personnel were at the site is said to have been shared with President George W Bush over the summer. A senior American source said the administration sought proof of nuclear-related activities before giving the attack its blessing.
Diplomats in North Korea and China believe a number of North Koreans were killed in the strike, based on reports reaching Asian governments about conversations between Chinese and North Korean officials.
Syrian officials flew to Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, last week, reinforcing the view that the two nations were coordinating their response.
God's eternal plan is what everything is all about.

Add Iran to the list also. Bush needs to take care of these enemies before Hillary gets into the WH. Its a must.

“What we’re telling the North Koreans is we know what your stuff smells like. If one goes off and it smells like you, we’re coming after you.”
If it goes off, it won’t smell like NK - it will smell like many dead US. We can’t wait, it is the NKs who should be worrying about the smell.
Israel alone doesn’t have the capability to take out Iran’s program.
good stuff
Your right. When the President says: A democratic Iraq will not be perfect
boy is he understating the situation ... especially when the first stinking thing the Iraqi Constitution states is:
that Islam is the official religion
and then that
....NO LAW SHALL CONTRADICT ISLAM.
ISLAM advocates TERROR
The only place we know doesn’t have it is Iraq. Every other arab country has it. You can count on it.
Not true. The IAEA would not let the United States remove 500 Tons of Uranium in Iraq!
Thanks.
