Everybody already knew most of this and nothing new was revealed. A lot of commotion in the MSM and nowhere else.

One of the most important aspects of this was hardly noted.

It is how Israel could go through the most heavily defended airspace in the world and not even be fired upon.

That is still ignored.

That was thoroughly discussed here on FR months ago. But, just yesterday a poster said Syria has no air defense to begin with, so it can be both discussed and analyzed, and ignored.

I know this question might be off topic, but how is it that Syria suddenly has the nuclear material sufficient to be a threat for nuclear weapons?

Does Iraq ring a bell?

The sad thing is that he probably has reservations about briefing Congress because Congress is like a sieve and they just love to be the first to run to the Press. Remember,”Leaky” Leahy? Congress is just as dangerous as the enemy in some cases and we now elect enemies of America to Congress.

The document was apparently reviewed by the Department of Defense as you the word D.O.D (in Latin letters) written on the side of the document.

Dear Respected Sir

Warm salute… and then

To review with regards and please and return the document to Mrs. Mona after the translation with thanks.

Subject: We have information about the location of the Weapons of Mass Destruction

In the day of 10 Mouharam before the coalition forces started the war on Iraq, 50 trucks for land transportation entered Syria on an intermittent convoy. I met some of the drivers and they did not know what they carried in these trucks. These trucks were loaded from an unknown location in Baghdad and was brought to the drivers and the Iraqi Intelligence was with them. Each time they crossed a certain distance, the Iraqi Intelligence stopped them and asked them what are they carrying and their answer was we do not know. And when these trucks arrived to Syria in the area of Deir Al Zour the drivers were taken out of their trucks and the Syrian Intelligence ride instead. These trucks were entered into large warehouses and when these trucks were emptied it was given back to the Iraqi drivers. And they were given a reward worth of 200 dollars for the safety of arrival. One of the drivers mentioned to me that this was second time they carry these secrets loads and the first time was 1 Mouharam.

I have a friend in Syria who works in a Syrian company as partner with a Syrian merchant. This person is an Iraqi ex-Consul in the Iraqi embassies and he resigned from the diplomatic circle and he has strong connection with the Iraqi Embassy in Syria and he knows all the Iraqi Intelligence and those knows that I work for the Iraqi opposition in Syria. I was visiting him daily during this period to find out the important news. When the trucks entered Syria I went to him and told him that Iraqi Weapons entered Syria so he said to me who told you that and I said to him I knew from my sources, and he told me to keep this confidential and not tell anyone because it indeed entered.

“President George W. Bush wants to make progress on ending North Korea’s nuclear ambitions”

One remedy is Never, Never, I repeat, Ever send Jimmah Cahteh.

I understand they hacked into the computers controlling the air defense radar network and overrode them to show no Israeli aircraft in Syrian teritory. I further understand the Iranians are nervous because they paid the Russians billions last year for pretty much the same system.

I am hoping that the Democrats get a full load of the truth dropped on them just before the 2008 elections. The truth about Iraq's nuclear program being transplanted to Syria will be delivered with perfect timing. It will then be clear the danger these rogue states present to the world. It will tell the American electorate that there are nations at work collaborating against us. These nations will trade technology and resources to further their ultimate goal: the elimination of Western capitalism from the world scene.

Thank God for jveritas work on this quest for the truth.

I do not care to read it. In the 1940’s and 50’s Roosevelt and Truman both had Communist in some of their highest offices. I know they were supposed to be our allies at the time but they even defended them and denied they were such. Plus you do not have to have traitors any longer what Clinton didnt give the Chinese Bush will.

I doubt they could have "hacked into the computers".

They would more than likely jammed them. That means they would have transmitted jamming signals strong enough to hide the signal, or some such.

The significant thing though, is that Israel could fly over their airspace without being fired upon.

That means they could do it again or fly over Iran without being detected. That is enormous, and the news coverage is mostly ignoring it.

It doesn't seem to have intimidated Iran. They must think they can keep them out just with bluster.
