I wonder if this is how it felt in 1939-40.

"But Washington was not satisfied. It demanded clear evidence of nuclear-related activities before giving the operation its blessing. The task of the commandos was to provide it."
So.....our weenies are demanding Israel prove Syra desires them dead and is busily acquiring the materials to do just that!!!
What BS coming from these cowards inside our Defense, State AND Itelligence Depts!

ISRAELI commandos from the elite Sayeret Matkal unit almost certainly dressed in Syrian uniforms One of the weaknesses of the military dictatorship. Everyone is terrified of people in military uniforms walking around.
Because authority is determined by personal agendas rather than a reliable chain of command, even other military can be intimidated by people dressed in uniforms giving the "don't you know who we are" vibe.

Presumably, by now, any evidence gathered would have been presented to the world-complete with videos of the successful raid.
With all due respect to Israel, the IDF, and any other special forces they might use , I think the story given to (invented by ?) The Times is disinformation - pure and simple.
Set aside emotional responses for a few moments, and imagine you are the S-3 officer who has to plan this raid.
Get yourself a good map, a lot of Google photos, some basic grasp of what forces are defending your objective, etc., and come up with a workable plan.

If Project Orchard was really about blowing apart anything other than what Syria's supposed to have, don't you think there would be ten thousand foaming arabs at the UN screaming for Israel's head?
Instead, crickets and tumbleweeds.

"Lets say I continue to have my doubts !" I don't...something serious, perhaps even stunning did happen.
"Meanwhile, Newsweek quoted Binyamin Netanyahu adviser Uzi Arad as saying, "I do know what happened, and when it comes out it will stun everyone."

Did the US first ask Pelosi’s and Reid’s and Kucinich’s and Rockefeller’s permission before passing it on to the Israelis? Bwahahahaha, democraps haven’t got a darn clue what a dangerous place the Middle East is! God have mercy upon US if we allow these bastards to hold all three branches of the government.

Today the site near Dayr az-Zawr lies in ruins after it was pounded by Israeli F15Is on September 6. Before the Israelis issued the order to strike, the commandos had secretly seized samples of nuclear material and taken them back into Israel for examination by scientists, the sources say. A laboratory confirmed that the unspecified material was North Korean in origin. America approved an attack.
Dhimmicrats in Congress are demanding a new intelligence assessment on Dayr az-Zawr.
Thanks SeadogB.

....."All thats needed to be removed is a little proof."....
After the WMD fiasco in Iraq, everyone will have to have a glowing hot sample with NK stamped on it to make a hit anywhere.
I'm sure, in time, the proof will be plopped on a table right before the "shock and awe" begins. That way we won't have to prove nuttin when the dust settles.

Can you souce that?
I have not heard anything about the USAF being a player - just F15(I) Strike Eagles - more than enough to do the job.
