[sabra]

WASHINGTON, April 29 (UPI) -- U.S. President George Bush said Tuesday his administration released information on Syria's nuclear program to "advance certain policy objectives."

Under questioning by reporters at a White House Rose Garden news conference, Bush said the information wasn't released immediately after Israel bombed the suspected nuclear facility in Syria to prevent an escalation of the confrontation.

...

"We … wanted to advance certain policy objectives through the disclosures and one would be to the North Koreans, to make it abundantly clear that we -- we may know more about you than you think, and therefore it's essential that you have a -- you know, a complete disclosure on not only your plutonium activities, but proliferation as well as, you know, enrichment activities," Bush said.

...

He said the disclosure also served to put Iran on notice.

"And finally, we wanted to make it clear to Syria and the world that -- that their intransigence in dealing with, you know, helping us in Iraq or destabilizing Lebanon or dealing with Hamas, which is a destabilizing force in our efforts to have a Palestinian state coexist peacefully with Israel, those efforts are -- you know, gives us a chance to remind the world that we need to work together to deal with those issues."

Did US 'Photoshop' Syrian military pics?
A photograph of a 'supposed' Syrian nuclear site may have been altered

SYRIA: More questions about alleged nuclear site
Professor William Beeman at the University of Minnesota passed along a note today from "a colleague with a U.S. security clearance" about the mysterious Syrian site targeted in a Sept. 6 Israeli airstrike.

The note raises more questions about the evidence shown last week by U.S. intelligence officials to lawmakers in the House and Senate.

The author of the note pinpoints irregularities about the photographs. Beeman's source alleges that the CIA "enhanced" some of the images. For example he cites this image:

9. Yes, it had an objective

The United States will support war crimes. Message received loud and clear by the rest of the world.

But don't be "intransigent," or we'll send the Israelis to bomb you again.

11. So US companies can build nuke facilities in Israel and that's peachy keen,

but the North Koreans allegedly do it and its dastardly? I have doubts that it even was a nuke facility; those photoshop threads are pretty damning. Why does the press corp like sucking georgie's dick so much?
