USAF Struck Syrian Nuclear Site!!!---Sept. 6 mystery attack.

[tekisui]

The September 6 raid over Syria was carried out by the US Air Force, the Al-Jazeera Web site reported Friday. The Web site quoted Israeli and Arab sources as saying that two US jets armed with tactical nuclear weapons carried out an attack on a suspected nuclear site under construction.

The sources were quoted as saying that Israeli F-15 and F-16 jets provided cover for the US planes.

The sources added that each US plane carried one tactical nuclear weapon and that the site was hit by one bomb and was totally destroyed.

At the beginning of October, Israel's military censor began to allow the local media to report on the raid without attributing their report to foreign sources. Nevertheless, details of the strike have remained clouded in mystery.

1. bullshit

[tekisui]

7. I would hope you are right.

But, this story has always been strange and it just gets stranger. The first word that a bomb had been dropped at all was dismissed.

[MADem]

11. Yeah. What you said. nt

[Botany]

22. as noted in post #1

bullsit if we had hit Syria w/ a nuke then the world would have known.

[lovuian]

2. Shouldn't Congress have been notified of this

and shouldn't the people of US know our President bombed it

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. Yes, of course

It's a smoke screen story, and one I don't care for one bit.

Why in the hell are they trying to say that the U.S. nuked Syria?

[lovuian]

16. Thank you Congress should be outraged at this story

US just attacked Syria where is our Congress outrage

[Lone_Star_Dem]

21. How public has this story been?

It's the first I've heard of it, but considering the fact that it's total BS I'm not surprised about that.

Has it had any real media coverage yet?

[lovuian]

30. Jerusalem Post and Al Jazeera are read by millions

they maybe not the NYT but in their countries they are big papers

[Lone_Star_Dem]

34. Yes, but I never read it on Al Jazeera

I don't read the Jerusalem Post as a rule, but I do read Al Jazeera and I missed it there.

I don't know, perhaps it wasn't in their english version? I suppose that might explain it.

At any rate, has it gotten any US coverage yet that I've missed?

[fasttense]

3. A practice run for Iran? N/t

[LSK]

4. dont buy it

[lovuian]

6. I think its a cover story for Israel but is it right for US to take

responsibility

[Zywiec]

5. LOL - Wouldn't there be evidence of a nuclear bomb going off? n/t

[tekisui]

12. What is the evidence of a tactical nuke?

I seriously don't know. Iknow the site's building was completely vanished very quickly.

[Beelzebud]

13. There are plenty of conventional weapons that will level entire cities...

[tekisui]

18. Did the US bomb Syria?

With any bombs of any kind?

[Beelzebud]

29. Now that I don't know. I just know Syria wasn't nuked...

[lovuian]

31. tekisui is asking the BIG question was it Israel or US

if it was the US then Congress should be outraged

[Adsos Letter]

14. enough that the Russians or Chinese could detect it...

and they would have no reason to hush it up.

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. This shit was dumb enough when it appeared in LBN

It's even stupider now.

Anyone who believes this story is a moron.

[tekisui]

15. I don't buy the part about nukes being used.

But, could it have been the US that bombed the site?

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. Oh for Christ's sake

I give up.

[tekisui]

26. Why do you dismiss that so quickly?

This story has never made since and has changed a lot on all accounts of it. I genuinely would like to know why it is not possible for the US to have been used in the attack.

[lovuian]

32. Netanyahu has admitted israel attacked Syria

it was in Haaretz awhile back I can't believe now they are saying US

[tekisui]

33. Thanks, curious indeed.

[Adsos Letter]

10. If you read the comments on this article at Common Dreams

it gets a thorough de-bunking, fort multiple reasons.

Chief of which being:

1. A nuclear blast, even low yield, would have been detected by people unwilling to hush it up

2. The Syrians would be enraged and insisting upon a testing of the residual isotopes, which can be traced back to specific sources

3. They have been working quickly to cover the site with dirt...something highly unlikely in the "radiation rich" environment you would find there.

[lovuian]

17. Syria would be ranting and raving and other countries would have detected i

it like Russia

[alcibiades_mystery]

"Ranting and Raving"

Yes, it would be unreasonable of them to object to being bombarded with nuclear weaponry.

:eyes:

[MonkeyFunk]

19. Oh good lord

how silly.

The US didn't nuke Syria. You'd have to be an idiot to believe that.

[Akoto]

23. I'm not buying it.

Somebody on the international stage would've noticed a nuclear explosion, and they would be sounding the alarm about it, not a newspaper.

That aside, I don't understand why we'd do the bombing, nor why a tactical nuke would be used. As I understand it, the site wasn't even fully constructed. Normal bombs would've done the job.

[FightingIrish]

24. This makes about as much sense as

six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles being accidentally flown across the country strapped to a B-52

[canadianbeaver]

27. But I thought it was 5......

is this where that 6th one went?

[LSK]

25. Jerusalem Post

Now why would they want to report such a thing? Hmmmm

[Beelzebud]

28. They really don't teach critical thinking skills anymore do they?
