I was coming up with a theory about this, but ugly facts got in the way. Okay, US Intelligence got information in August. Is that correct? I was thinking that the Israeli raid on the Syrian nuclear (bomb?) plant was in July, but it was on September 6th. So, I can’t tie the breakout of that intelligence to the Israeli raid. Oh well.
Actually the Syrian Nuke Plant was discovered late spring early summer. Israel was going to flatten it during the summer. The Syrians detected the Israeli planning and activity so they raised their state of military readiness. We were all wondering what was going on. The Israelis decided to postpone the flattening because of the Syrian position and because of stalling from the US Intelligent Agencies. The US demanded iron clad proof of the Israeli accusations. So they acquired samples and learned that a shipment from the Norkies was coming. The Israelis forced the decision to flatten it ASAP. The timeline all fits perfect. The US was told what the Syrians were doing during the summer.
