The striking difference in the satellite photos surprised even some outside experts who were skeptical that Syria might be developing a nuclear program.

“It’s clearly very suspicious,” said Joseph Cirincione, an expert on nuclear proliferation at the Center for American Progress in Washington. “The Syrians were up to something that they clearly didn’t want the world to know about.”

I wonder when the plywood sign spray painted “Milk Factory” in English will be set up and the MSM allowed to photograph it?

Would not a building of that size and of reinforced concrete have had large footings and concrete slab? No trace of that in pictures.

Good photos but I’m curious where is the water supply to cool off the reactor rods? Every reactor I am familiar with is located next to a river or lake to provide adequate cooling for the reactor rods. Maybe they were assembling dirty bombs or rockets here instead.

Looks like they took a big chunk of dirt out of the “hill” to the right of the “reactor” to fill in the smoking hole the Israelis left.

From the article: “The desolate Syrian site is located on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River some 90 miles north of the Iraqi border and seven miles north of the desert village of At Tibnah. An airfield lies nearby. The new images reveal that the tall building is gone but still show a secondary structure and a pumping station on the Euphrates. Reactors need water for cooling.”
