More Speculation on the Israeli Strike in Syria that Neither Country is Talking About

It was this…it was that…what was it that Israel bombed in Syria last month? New speculation is it was an unfinished nuclear reactor, much like the one North Korea used to build their nuclear weapons:

The attack on the reactor project has echoes of an Israeli raid more than a quarter century ago, in 1981, when Israel destroyed the Osirak nuclear reactor in Iraq shortly before it was to have begun operating. That attack was officially condemned by the Reagan administration, though Israelis consider it among their military’s finest moments. In the weeks before the Iraq war, Bush administration officials said they believed that the attack set back Iraq’s nuclear ambitions by many years.

By contrast, the facility that the Israelis struck in Syria appears to have been much further from completion, the American and foreign officials said. They said it would have been years before the Syrians could have used the reactor to produce the spent nuclear fuel that could, through a series of additional steps, be reprocessed into bomb-grade plutonium.

When we know that Syria and Iran are supplying Hezbollah with weapons, can they really be trusted with nuclear technology when they advocate the destruction of Israel?

I don’t think so.
