My unlearned opinion would suspect that the nuclear material would have come from North Korea of Iraq.
The heeyoouuge material lift from Iraq to Syria prior to the invasion has not (to my knowledge) been accounted for.
Some of it certainly appears to have worked its way to Libya.
And NK is a known proliferator who is probably looking for other working partners that can work with them to develop nuclear weapons.
I can find no reason to believe there would have or could have been a transfer of nuclear material to Syria from US sources. No way that could have been kept quiet, and Syria probably doesn’t have the buddies or contacts to pull a NUMEC-type deal.
That’s my take. Probably wrong.
This was my initial thought, but with Israeli flights to Iran I have to change/add flights.
To: Southack; Dog; jeffers; shield
How I think it happened (two planes):
Yellow flight: jamming air defense and even Lebanese cable tv, bombing the three supposed WMD sites.
Green flight: taking out the Deir al Zahr facility, trucks holding warheads from the NK ship, then taking out the facility on the Euphrates at the turkish border, then drop tanks, land, pick up IDF guys holding an evidence functional nuke who borrow a Syrian truck to cross the Turkish border with it.
Thanks for your earlier feedback, Sir. :)
