No space for hand wringers....
The US was very concerned about the ties between Syria and North Korea, and some "possible nuclear" collaboration.
While we were here all worried about the "nuculear stuff" the Israeli Air Force took care of some urgent business.
The Sunday Times of London has it all:
"The Sunday Times of London provides additional information on the September 6 foray of Israeli warplanes into Syria, claiming that Israel "blew apart" or possibly hijacked a nuclear cache, uranium enrichment facilities, or other non-conventional weapons equipment furnished by North Korea.
The report begins by saying: "It was just after midnight when the 69th Squadron of Israeli F15Is crossed the Syrian coast-line. On the ground, Syria's formidable air defences went dead. An audacious raid on a Syrian target 50 miles from the Iraqi border was under way."
The Times claims that an Israeli advance team from a top-secret special forces unit was already in place on the ground. "At a rendezvous point on the ground, a "Shaldag" air force commando team was waiting to direct their laser beams at the target for the approaching jets. The team had arrived a day earlier, taking up position near a large underground depot. Soon the bunkers were in flames."
The Times, quoting Israeli sources, said that preparations for the attack had been going on since late spring, when Meir Dagan, the chief of Mossad, presented Israeli PM Ehud Olmert with evidence that Syria was seeking to purchase a nuclear device from North Korea.
"This was supposed to be a devastating Syrian surprise for Israel," said an Israeli source, the Times reported. "We've known for a long time that Syria has deadly chemical warheads on its Scud (missiles), but Israel can't live with a nuclear warhead."
The target was identified as a northern Syrian facility that purported to be an agricultural research center on the Euphrates river, reportedly Deir az Zor. Israel had been monitoring it for some time, concerned that it was being used to extract uranium from phosphates. The Times, citing an "Israeli air force source," reported that the Israeli satellite Ofek 7, launched in June, was diverted from Iran to Syria, sending out high-quality images of northeastern Syria every 90 minutes.
The Times report said that "only three Israeli cabinet ministers are said to have known the details of the attack -- Olmert, Ehud Barak the Defense Minister and Tzipi Livni, the Foreign Minister. The American administration was also consulted. According to Israeli sources, American air force codes were given to the Israeli air force attache in Washington to ensure Israel's F15Is would not mistakenly attack their US counterparts".

When you are surrounded by those who have essentially vowed to wipe you out, you cut them no slack, give not an inch, and refuse to play the "PC" game just to "please" that den of terrorists and cultural-dysfunctionals, AKA the "Untied Nations," and the SE (Spineless Eurabians) crowd.
You hit hard, brutally, and without mercy. Duro y a la cabeza, coño!
Charlie,
well I see that the Foreign Minister for Mr. Sarkozy has told Iran that if they develop a nuclear weapon France considers that military action should be used against them. This is a new and refreshing development after so many years of France kow-towing to the Islamo-facscists. His statement sent shivers to the European community and prompted a quick defying response form the Iranians. Well is about time that France starts to speak out before things get completely out of hand in Europe. Now let's see if the other Europeans get behind Sarkozy and back him up. I am sure Angela Merkel will comply and back him up, but the other namby pambys like Zapatero, you can forget about that socialist idiot scumbag. Maybe Europe is starting to wake up to the threat of the Islamo-fascists in Iran. France speaking up against Iran. Will wonders ever cease!
