There will be attack by the warmonger GOP, but...

[ColbertWatcher]

...which country will it be?

They've been hyping an attack on Iran, but, the other day they released these pics of an alleged nuclear site in Syria.



I believe it was Jon Stewart who joked that he could tell which country America was going to attack next based on where Christiane Amanpour was doing her reporting.

He then asked her where she was reporting from, and she answered, "Syria."

So, which is it?

Iran or Syria?

1. They've already attacked Syria

Maybe that was a little warning to Iran of what's to come.

3. The nuclear reactor last fall?

Wasn't that recently admitted to be a joint Israel-US op?

Sorry if I'm wrong, there's so much crap to keep up with....

All Still Quiet on the Syria Bombing

By Jackson Diehl
Monday, November 5, 2007; Page A19

It was two months ago tomorrow that Israeli warplanes bombed what Israel and the United States believed was a nascent Syrian nuclear complex along the shore of the Euphrates River. But the political shock waves that should have accompanied that remarkable event -- which was both an audacious act of preemption and a revelation of an apparent Syrian bomb program-- have been bottled up by the decisions of the Israeli government and the Bush administration not to speak publicly about the strike.

Now Israeli and U.S. officials are quietly debating whether to go on the record and allow those shock waves to explode across the Middle East and beyond. At stake are not only Israel's tense relations with Syria, which so far has chosen not to retaliate, but a host of other pressure points: Israeli-Palestinian negotiations; the integrity of the International Atomic Energy Agency; Western leverage over Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad; and -- not least -- the fragile U.S. nuclear bargain with North Korea, which is believed to have aided the secret construction.
