| #29 Listen to him -- he's an Internet expert. Did I mention that I served in Vietnam? |

| #28 Hey, North Korean scientists go on vacation too! Maybe they were ronry. |

| #27 Only several? Only "hurt"? C'mon, IDF, you can do better than that. |

| #26 Looking out for its best interests---which, right now, largerly overlap with the best interests of Israel. Once the West truly gets serious about fighting Muslim terrorism, perhaps then we will finally show some real appreciation regarding the huge debt this world owes Israel—not just for near-saintly restaint in the face of moronically futile diplomatic efforts but—for her demonstrating the only sort of resolve and methods that will ever work to stop Islam. |

| #24 I wonder if any of their injuries include radiation poisoning. |

| #23 Ebang, if reports are correct we provided the suppression technology (and possibly the suppressing UAV) for the Syria strike. Does that count? |

| #22 Not a snark, an honest question: what do you think the U S should be doing? A couple of B2 runs the next time the IDF gets into it with Hizbollah would be nice. Or maybe not even wait until the next time. |

| #21 Hoagland said the site of the attack was a plutonium enrichment facility for the Syrian nuclear program First, it's plutonium extraction. Second, to extract plutonium, you need to start with something that contains plutonium. The Syrians have no reactors that can produce significant plutonium. So NK is shipping spent fuel rods to Syria? All they can do now (once they find them again) is grind them up and make a dirty bomb. |

| #20 and as part of the process, resume control over the Temple Mount, dismantle the al Aqsa mosque and only let the "faithful" visit the Dome of the Rock as tourists, just like Christians. |

| #19 The new "two-state solution" - annex Gaza and the West Bank and forcibly relocate all Palestinians and fellow travelers to the new Palestinian homeland, Syria. |

| #18 We should be supporting Israel fulling in pulling down the Syrian government and helping put a stake in "Land for Peace" deals. However, Rice will do her best to fuck them over. |

| #17 Agreed on that, gr0mgoru. |

| #15 Nork nuclear techs vacationing in Syria, who'd a thunk it ? |

| #14 After hearing the NORK outrage, I wondered if we'd hear something like this........and how many taken prisoner by the IDF? |

| #13 what do you think the U S should be doing? Stating that we support the territorial integrity of Israel and every other democracy in the MME and its right to defend itself against enemies both declared and de facto. I would be warning Syria that the Israelis are crazy and we can barely control them. I would be expanding the Army and Marine Corps faster. Other than that, it's really up to the arabs to reconcile themselves to the existence of Israel and it's up to Israel to whack them if they won't. |

| #12 Concrete proof would be why the Syrians didn't scream right off the bat. It took them weeks to dream up the 'nothing happened' story. |

| #11 What specifically would you like the US to do instead? Not a snark, an honest question: what do you think the U S should be doing? |

| #10 Secretary of State Rice would owe Israel a big payback. Which, I'm sure, she fully indends to deliver in the comming "ME peace conference". |

| #9 Risky indeed. As would be an attack on Syria without concrete proof of nuclear activities, given our 130,000 troops near by and the likely involvement of US technical support for the raid. My deep respect and support for the brave Israelis who pulled this off. |

| #8 Israel sent soil samples from the site and other evidence to the United States both before and after the strike In my ignorance, that seems a highly risky enterprise for the sampling crew. Were it up to me, Secretary of State Rice would owe Israel a big payback. |

| #7 HHHHHHMMMMMM, plutonium enrichment. ION, NEWSMAX > RUSSIAN EXPERT WARNS OF [Localized]DIRTY BOMB ATTACKS. Getting harder and harder to stop proliferation. |

| #6 Thank you, Israel, for doing more to set back North Korea's nuclear program than Bill Clinton or Jimmah Carter ever did. |

| #5 A top-secret report by the U.S. intelligence services... If so, then there should be some jail time upcoming for at least one journalist, and one editor. |

| #3 Israel sent soil samples from the site and other evidence to the United States both before and after the strike Clever boys. Took a control sample before doing a little rototilling, did they? Also says a lot about what they expected to find and how they thought best to deal with it. |

| #2 Next time, use bigger bombs. |
