DAMASCUS, Syria — A high-ranking Syrian official confirmed that Israel's airstrike last month in northern Syria hit a nuclear facility, according to a document obtained Wednesday by FOX News.

"Israel was the fourth-largest exporter of weapons of mass destruction and a violator of other nations' airspace, and it had taken action against nuclear facilities, including the 6 July attack in Syria," Syrian representative Bassam Darwish is quoted in the document as saying.

Thanks for post the pic! That’s who I was thinking about when I wrote the comment. Unfortunately, I don’t know who to post pics.

Now that is very interesting....

That’s “I don’t know how to post pics.”

I seem to recall Syria denying anything ever happened. Oh well. I bet Iran’s reeeaaally paranoid. Israeli planes evade Russian-made anti-aircraft systems and took out a nuke plant...

In the immortal words of Homer S...."doh"

Is there any Syria connection to Iran where Putin went and told the U.S. not to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities?
Bush’s reply: There will be WWIII should Iran develop nuclear weapons.
Stay tuned, watch from distance.

Well, ya'll reckon little Miss Nancy has egg on her face again? Her visit with Bashar al-Assad was a "peace in our time...." tilt. Now we have Nancy's war with Turkey...Democrats have a loose cannon and a not very bright one on board, on second thought make that two loose cannons...Reid and Pelosi.

Having a discussion with a muslim from anywhere in the world (they are functionally interchangeable) is like talking to a brick.

What this muslim mensa graduate fails to realize is that being an "exporter" of weapons and being a terrorist supplier is not the same thing. Claiming national sovereignty as an excuse to sell to whomever they choose is simply an affirmation that we are not talking rogue weapon suppliers here, but aiding and abetting terrorism as a national policy.

In the tiny muslim mind it shouldn't matter, but to the daily victims of muslim mass murder it matters a lot.

Just saying.

Shazam!

And now Syria is denying it. I loved it when the Sept.6 story first came out, and there was this quote from Syria:

"It appears that the Israeli planes were on a reconnaissance mission when they got caught by Syrian defenses and were forced to drop their bombs and extra fuel tanks," said a Western diplomat in Syria's capital Damascus.

Yeah, and the dropped bombs just happened to fall on Syria's nuclear facility and blew it all up. What bad luck.
