"Bush Administration Releases Images to Bolster Its Claims About Syrian Reactor"
"The Bush administration released detailed photographic images on Thursday to support its assertion that the building in Syria that Israel destroyed in an airstrike last year was a nuclear reactor constructed with years of help from North Korea....
Oh, so now it's only photos! They said they had video yesterday!
Sigh!
While the photographs were not dated, some taken on the ground seemed to go back to before 2002.
Pfffft!
It never fucking ends with the prop organs, does it?
But after a full day of briefing members of Congress, two senior intelligence officials acknowledged that the evidence had left them with no more than “low confidence” that Syria was preparing to build a nuclear weapon.
And here the t.v. media made it sound like they had a bomb already!!!!
They said that there was no sign that Syria had built an operation to convert the spent fuel from the plant into weapons-grade plutonium, but that they had told President Bush last year that they could think of no other explanation for the reactor.
How about a power plant? Seems to be plenty of them 'round here in Amurka!
Among the photographs shown to members of Congress and reporters on Thursday was one of the manager of North Korea’s Yongbyon nuclear plant with the director of Syria’s nuclear agency. A car in the background has Syrian license plates.
That's it?! A photo with a car license plate in the background?!
Was it PHOTO-SHOPPED, or...?
When asked about North Korea’s motivation for the project, one of the senior intelligence officials said simply, “Cash.” He refused to say how much.
The revelation of the plant’s existence is not new; The New York Times reported in mid-October that Israel had brought the United States evidence that the Syrian building was a partly constructed reactor. But no more than a handful of lawmakers had ever been briefed on the attack.
If this is true, why did Israel have to sign off on the release of the dossier?
A senior administration official, briefing reporters with the help of the two senior intelligence officials, said for the first time that the White House had extensive discussions with Israel before the airstrike in September. The official said the White House had raised the possibility of confronting Syria with a demand that it dismantle the reactor or face the possibility of an attack.
But that idea apparently never gained traction with the Israelis or some in the administration, and in the end, the official said, Israel cited satellite evidence to declare that the Syrian reactor constituted “an existential threat” to Israel because it might soon be ready for operation.
Translation: Another BIG, FAT, WHOPPING Israeli LIE!!!!!
The senior administration official, who was a central player in Mr. Bush’s deliberations, added that Israel’s attack proceeded “without a green light from us.”
“None was asked for, none was given,” the official added.
That is how ISRAEL is going to SUCKER AmeriKa into WAR with IRAN!!!
Bush said we are defending them EVEN IF THEY START IT!!!
Also is MORE EVIDENCE of WHO RUNS WHO in this "relationship" the U.S. has with Israel!!!!
While one of the senior intelligence officials said that the United States agreed that Syria was “good to go” in turning on the reactor, it would have been years before it could have produced weapons fuel.
It is unclear how the Syrians planned to get the uranium they needed.
If they needed it at all.
Once they got it, the reactor would have had to run for roughly 18 months before the fuel was “cooked.” And then to turn it into weapons-grade plutonium, it would require reprocessing, presumably outside the country unless Syria found a way to build its own plant.
Un-frikkin'-real!
Even if this was a nuclear weapons plan, readers, they were NOWHERE NEAR ANYTHING!
And yet, HERE is ISRAEL CRYING WOLF AGAIN!!!
You remember what happens in that story, right, readers?
They NO LONGER BELIEVE the KID, right?
The announcement on Thursday closes one chapter of a secretive intelligence and military operation and opens several others that will play out over the remainder of the Bush presidency....
IRAN!!!
WTF?!?! Now it is DRAWINGS??!?!
That's the evidence?
DRAWINGS?!!!
“I’d say the score is Kim Jong-il eight, and Bush zero,” said Graham Allison, a Harvard professor and author of “Nuclear Terrorism,” who was in Washington on Thursday to testify about Iran’s nuclear program. “And if you can build a reactor in Syria without being detected for eight years, how hard can it be to sell a little plutonium to Osama bin Laden?”
Booga-booga-BOO!
I don't know, how much plutonium can a DEAD MAN afford?
Pfffffft!!
Pushing that damnable lie so the CIA and Mossad can let a nuke bomb go in an American city!!!
I'm so tired of shit Zionist propaganda, readers.
This may be it from the old NYT today, folks!
Detestable paper!
