Bombed Syrian reactor reportedly six years old
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=294788

The New York Times reported on Saturday that independent analysts have determined that construction of the alleged nuclear reactor on Syrian soil which was bombed last month by Israel may have begun as early as 2001.

The analysts cited satellite images of the complex taken by a private commercial company in 2003 as evidence. The new images depict large-scale construction works at the site in question.

Syria accused Israel of conducting a raid in its territory in early September but denied the target was a nuclear reactor. American analysts who have studied the newly released images asserted that the complex posed a credible nuclear threat.

The experts' determination that construction on the site had begun in 2001 may support the claim that North Korea began aiding Syria in the late 1990's.

The paper also quoted an unnamed US security official who said that American intelligence had been aware of the site and had been keeping tabs on the evolving project for years.

The nuclear plant that was denied by Syria and Israel didn't want to admit bombing and Ameican presidents didn't seem to want to mention to the US citizens though very willing to admit Iranian facilities and then there is North Korea helping out

5. Remember how they said "Iraq threatens its neighbors?"
Uh-huh. That would include Syria. Yup. :eyes:

Notice how those neighbors appreciate our "concern." :freak:

4. 'complex posed a credible nuclear threat' I wonder why somebody
feels the need to justify this bombing thing so long after it happened?
