FWIW - There have been previous reports that the planning of this strike began this past April or May.

The government just cannot stay out of it. They are more worried about what the MSM will print, than they are letting Israel take care of its own issues.

“Several officials supported Israel’s decision to strike, although others, led by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, firmly opposed it and offered to publicly condemn Syria for operating a nuclear facility instead.”

Or how about a few dozen more USELESS U.N. resolutions???

Another debt we owe the Israelis. Osirak, 1981, was another one.

If this is true,that we did not know about this facility, I would fire the entire CIA. Someone in the CIA had to know what was going on, and hid it, just like they have been operating a shadow gov’t for years. The whole lot of them, beginning with Tenet should have been keelhauled in 2001 after 9/11.

I don’t know why we always try to restrain the Israelis—they are our only true ally in the MidEast.

And we have to attack Iran, sooner than later, or the MidEast will REALLY be destabilized.

Yet, even with direct proof of acts of war committed against our military personnel by the Iranian presence in Iraq, we still jawbone and pussyfoot around. Enough already.

Just do it.

“According to the report, Israel presented US officials with satellite imagery which clearly shows North Korean nuclear technology in a Syrian facility.”

According to a US source, Whitehouse officials were astonished by the imagery and by the fact US intelligence had not picked up on the facility previously.

I'm guessing that Israel does not use affirmative action criteria or rely on political correctness when it selects the best people to build, and run, it's intelligence systems.

What’s wrong with ‘destabilizing’ the Middle East? What, we are suppose to lick the balls of these Arab tent lands forever? Like, they are going to be our ‘friends’.

Like, what they are going to be a poor, make nothing, dirt dwelling hucksters that will stab us in the back?

Condi Rice and and all those gay boy lovers in State should just come out and convert.

I am certain that Ron Paul demanded we should hold Israel to the wall of restraint and appeasement.

Same “ABC” story, previously noted from another, at:

ttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1907458/posts

Some parts of this story completely contradict earlier reported “informed” sources on the events. Particularly in the area of U.S.-Israeli co-operation on the intelligence that created the concerns about the Syrian site, including the intelligence of the false flag procedure that North Korea had performed on its most recent “delivery” to Syria (they had changed the flag on their vessel to a South Korean flag (as if the US would not know the #’s on the vessel were NOT South Korean).

The “ABC” story is nothing more than State Department disinformation. It is being put out by the permanent government at the State Department with Condi’s blessing, hoping the “Arab street” will believe that Israel acted 100% on their own. That idea is a lie, as well it should be.

"According to a US source, Whitehouse officials were astonished by the imagery and by the fact US intelligence had not picked up on the facility previously"

Which just further reinforces my thinking that Iran is a lot closer to a nuke bomb then we know or will admit. All the more reason to take out these b******s ASAP.

The plot thickens.

What kind of nuclear material can you see from space?

Why would you give cutting edge penetration aids, and backup support to a raid you didn’t want to happen?

White House officials “astonished”? We currently have Bibi’s aide claiming the truth will “stun the world”, an unnamed Brit claiming we went to the edge of WW-III, and now an unnamed American claiming Bush was “astonished”.

That’s three, this is big. The top end of the scale has to be a Korean nuke, unless they had external help. That’s the end of the scale I’m looking at, until refuted.

Condi and George-what a pair of dim bulbs. “W” lost more brain cells than we realize when he choked out on that pretzel while at home in Crawford.
Good work by the IAF. Israel knows who their enemies are and does something about them.

A different source told ABC News that Israel had planned the strike as early as July 14, and in confidential meetings with high ranking US officials, debated over the appropriate response. Several officials supported Israel's decision to strike, although others, led by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, firmly opposed it and offered to publicly condemn Syria for operating a nuclear facility instead.

How is this approach any different from the democrats? Condi Rice has lost her spine, nerve, and mind.

“US...fearing ME destabilization.”

Yeah, our wretched politicians always have to be afraid of something. Probably why we’re not kicking Iran’s ass.
