Speculation on what Israel’s latest air raid means for the future of Iran’s nuclear program. Via the fine folks at Hot Air…….

“Cement” from the Norks…you better believe it gets my antennae twitching. Why would a failing/starving nation expend the resources to ship CEMENT of all things thousands of miles when it would be better served by using it at home to build things like rice storage facilities? Shipping cement to Syria from NK cannot possibly be cost effective or very profitable when they have a neighbor a couple miles to the south that would probably consume all they could provide year after year…

Something was weird about that ship.

This link was there somewhere. See “Release from house arrest.”

Syria is NOT SHOWING the press the bombing site? why? you know how they like to hold up what ever pathetic person was bombed. But they DON’T want anyone to see this site.

This was found. It’s faint, but seems to be some kind of a code, printed on a clothing label.

Seems Israel will have to rescue our tired butts… one more time.

More like our ally, Israel, will help us in Syria and elsewhere, just as we help Israel by being in Iraq, and by confronting Iran. They don’t do our job, and we don’t do theirs. Definition of true ally. We’ve just forgotten, because we are lacking in those kind of friends these days.

“World Opinion” prefers to cower in hiding and engage in much thumb-sucking while waiting for the magical diplomacy fairies to make it all better.

When the threat has been taken care of by the adults, they will resurface, put crayon to paper, and craft strong condemnations against the big US and Israeli meanies.

Bolton chimes in and more details about target.

I remember that train explosion, we thought at the time that it was an attempt on Kim’s life. Perhaps it was the Mossad taking out Syria-bound missiles? If so, nice work gentlemen, keep it up. If not, maybe it was an accident by some commie or hezbo-jihadist moron, if so, nice work gentlemen, keep it up.

Here’s my exit question: Does ‘World Opinion’ prefer conventional war with Iran and Syria *now* or nuclear war with Iran and Syria *later*?

We’re not ready to give up on our supersonic anti-ship missiles bound for Hezbollah theory, but the level of detail in this morning’s Washington Post report is pretty intimidating. This is some mighty fine journalism, assuming any of it is……

Now Syria is claiming there was no bombing and that the story is all lies…..

The confusing part now is that it appears there were TWO strikes. One on a uranium processing facility(the strike we all first heard of) and another on a North Korean boat delivering missle or nuke technology.

Exit question: If the A.Q. Khan network is still operating, what’s old A.Q. Khan himself up to these days,

Fine tuning his wrath for the day he is released to spread his message of terror.
