Real reason Syrian base was wiped off the map
************************EXCERPT From the Telegraph Article:**********************
Now, it appears that the Syrians are quietly helping the Iranians with their nuclear weapons programme. As part of their continuing efforts to acquire the technology to develop nuclear weapons, the Iranians have sent teams of their scientists to Pyongyang to examine the details of the North Koreans' successful nuclear test.
But with Western politicians getting more bellicose about Tehran's refusal to halt its uranium enrichment programme - earlier this week, Hillary Clinton threatened to "totally obliterate" Iran - the Iranians are keen that their mutual defence pact with Syria extends into the nuclear field. Western security experts believe that many North Korean scientists who were filmed working on the Syrian project were also frequent visitors to Iran's top-secret atomic facilities.
The US satellite photographs presented to Congress yesterday demonstrated that the Syrian facility had been entirely reduced to rubble by the accuracy of the Israeli air strikes. And unless there is a radical change of policy soon in Tehran, the likelihood is that the Iranian programme will suffer a similar fate.
