Report: Syrian Missiles Moved Before Alleged Israeli Strike
2013-08-01
[Ynet] American intelligence analysts have concluded that a recent alleged Israeli Arclight airstrike on a warehouse in Syria did not succeed in destroying all of the Russian-made anti-ship cruise missiles that were its target, the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 reported.
So generous of them to share their conjecture with the whole world. Betcha the NYT journalistic staff felt a mutual frisson as they prepared this report.
According to the report, Israel carried out an attack on July 5 near Latakia to destroy the missiles, which Russia had sold to Syria. But the report said that while the warehouse was destroyed, analysts have now concluded that at least some of the Yakhont missiles had been moved from the warehouse before the attack.

Yep. These missiles are in Iraq now---with the rest of Saddam's arsenal.
