A top-secret report by the U.S. intelligence services says several North Korean scientists were injured in Israel's strike in Syria last month, top Washington Post columnist Jim Hoagland reported in the paper Sunday.

Some two weeks ago, British newspaper The Sunday Times reported that diplomats in North Korea and China believed a number of North Koreans had been killed in the strike, based on reports reaching Asian governments about conversations between Chinese and North Korean officials.

Including our State Department in *anything* defeats compartmentalization.

They leak everything.

Naw. A reporter made that up out of whole cloth (or was conned by a malcontent who was doing something off of Company time).

"Hoagland said the site of the attack was a plutonium enrichment facility for the Syrian nuclear program."

So the plutonium was already created in a reactor before it arrived on-site. Since North Korea is supposedly getting out of the plutonium manufacturing business, and since their scientists were there, it is almost certainly theirs.

North Korea provides the raw plutonium and the rocket.

Syria provides the enrichment plant and the launch site.

The A.Q Khan network provides the technical know-how.

Iran provides the money.

The Western Left provides the propaganda cover.

It is a joint effort to destroy Israel, pure and simple.

Maj. Gen. Walter Dorenberger, the project lead for the German V2 said the greatest effect of the Anglo-American bombing raid on Peenemunde was that it killed a number of irreplaceable scientists and engineers.

Excellent point. We, rightly, view our soldiers lives as far more valuable than the equipment they use. Ergo maximum damage = enemy casualties.

Of course, only the very top tier can be trusted the embed bureaucrats at State are hard lefties....

Dr. Wheeler says State needs to be cleared out badly and completely. He says hire lawyers outside of the beltway....find the ones that can be fired, the others transfer 'em to the ends of the earth as visa processors...if they don't like that assignment give 'em a retirement package. Then hire new employees from middle America and definitely NO one whose had an Ivy League eduction.

Thanks for the ping, I am not surprised.

N. Korea, Russia and Iran, that is a lot of scientists, in one place.
