Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Bashar al-Assad

The Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, welcomed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and said the Iranian leader had the right to acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. In turn, Mr Ahmadinejad asserted his host’s right to freedom from foreign interference. Both men face confontations with the United Nations Security Council. The West is pushing for the International Atomic Energy Agency to refer Teheran to the council over its work on enriching uranium, which Europe and America fear is intended for use in nuclear weapons.

They both read newspapers and forums like these. They can see support for action against Iran just isn’t here.

Syria got Iraq’s WMD - I wouldn’t be surprised if Syria didn’t get the “priviledge” of detonating one or both of Iran’s nuclear bombs over Israel.

Syria has an Air Force which can deliver the bomb(s) to Jerusalem and/or Tel Aviv without too much difficulty. The only problem would be getting the bomb(s) to Syria, which I imagine would be easier than getting them to the Palestinians, who just might screw up the operation and blow up Gaza with them!

Terrorist can deliver a blow, but when it comes to things like nuclear bombs and other WMDs, they can just as easily screw the operation up and slaughter themselves and their own people.

Do you remember the Karin-A? Did you know the Israelis had caught several other boats destined for the PA that year?

Syria has points of delivery that are much harder for Israel to reach.

Thanks for the alert.
