Back in 2009, the German magazine Der Spiegel published an article about Operation Orchard.

I’m gonna fully read the lin to the new story - but chances are, it’ll line up fairly accurately with the Der Speigel story.

For those of you who want to read the 2009 story, try this link:

From a different source...JPost:

1) You are being sent today to participate in a mission of supreme importance to the state of Israel and the Jewish people.

2) The mission is to destroy the target and to disengage with no fallen aircraft, and to do so through as much “low signature” as possible.

3) The intention is for this action not to be connected, at least in the first stage, to the state of Israel and to minimize the potential for broader war.

4) The action is top secret before and after its implementation until a clear decision directs otherwise.

5) Counting on you. Believe in you and am convinced of your success.

6) Good luck.

I bet that shocked their world!

[DIRTYSECRET]

Did they take out any Norks in the operation?

[jjotto]

Don’t know, but I’d bet plenty of Russians were taken out.

[b4its2late]

I was thinking that too. Whoever was in that building assumed room temperature fairly quickly.

After the building stopped burning and their remains cooled down, yeah. :^)

And like the destruction of Iraq's weapons drive, to the great dismay of the United States. GWB, not Obama. Good thing we successfully discouraged Israel's plans to strike Iran's nuclear program back in the day.

Yep, gotta love the Israelis for getting directly into their face with it. Remember how quickly they bulldozed it all down and covered it up with dirt? I did not read the article, but did it go into any detail about our F-15 electronic warfare toys that made all of those 400’s blind as bats?

[b4its2late]

Yes, exactly. LOL

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I was going to post this, nice going. Israel did right.

[beaversmom]

Thanks.
