Israel Defense Forces commandos seized nuclear material of North Korean origin during a raid on a secret military site in Syria before the Israel Air Force allegedly bombed it this month, British newspaper The Sunday Times reported Sunday. The report, based on what the newspaper called "informed sources in Washington and Jerusalem," said the air strike was carried out with United States approval after Washington was shown evidence the material was nuclear related.

Gotta love this bit:

The IAF dispatched several fighter jets toward Syria Saturday, after a Syrian airplane disappeared from the Israeli radar screens, army sources said.

The jets returned to base after they ascertained that the Syrian plane had crashed.

The fact that no leaked information from our intelligence community has appeared on the front page of the NewYork Times must mean that this was a major victory in the War on Terror!

Sometimes it's want doesn't make the news that is the real news, especailly with the liberal fishwrap of today.

Well, the Times might still go with the story if they could reveal some secret intelligence as to how we suppressed Syrian air defenses. Give 'em time!

This raises lot of intriguing questions, such as how did the commandos seize the material, and how did they transport it out of Syria, considering how heavy "nuclear material" usually is. Did the USAF or U.S. Army actually do the transporting, and was the material taken immediately back to Israel, or to nearby U.S-controlled Iraq for shipment back to the U.S.

This just gets better and better...

I think they have been warned.

Let's hope that doesn't happen and if it does, let's hope some arrest are made.

Ship the nuclear stuff to Pelosi’s office. She and Reid can play with it.

Maybe they used some of Saddam’s trucks that took the WMDs out of Iraq.

Air lift ... ground to air in one easy lesson — All it takes is a balloon and a low flying cargo plane. I doubt they took a lot, a large sample might have been considered too hot.

oh this IS funny....

They STOLE their shipment...then killed the engineers and techs that could use the stuff....

bwahahahahahahahaha...

Oh man, I would pay $1000 to just sit in on the after action report....

Uh..my... I'm just laughing so hard that I'm crying...(wiping tears off face)...

Can you imagine the phone call.

"Uh, Peace be unto you brother, yes...well I've got some bad news. Yes, shama lama ding dong to you to Mohamed, well the nuclear material we ordered off of E-bay got stolen.....yes, Can you believe that?"

"Oh another thingy, the engineers, the technicians, and support staff....well there gone." .....er so is most of the complex we've been building. I think somebody left a pilot light on or something. We can't tell what happened cause everybody that was there is gone....weird, huh? "

Well here's to death to the great satan the United States and Israel. They are so weak we will wipe them from the face of the earth.

Oh and peace be unto your goat as well.

Newsweek quoted Uzi Arad, a former senior Mossad official and ex-policy advisor to then-prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as saying of the reported operation: I do know what happened, and when it comes out, it will stun everyone."

Heh heh heh... Bashar got de-pants'd on the world-stage.

“Israel Defense Forces commandos seized nuclear material”

New York Times interpretation: Israel Defense Forces commandos seized nuclear material planted there by President Bush.
