High Level Debate Stalled Syria Air Strike
Martha Raddatz
The September Israeli airstrike on a suspected nuclear site in Syria had been in the works for months and was delayed only at the strong urging of the U.S. In early July the Israelis presented the U.S. with satellite imagery they said showed a nuclear facility in Syria, plus additional evidence that showed some of the technology was supplied by North Korea.
One U.S. official said the material was “jaw dropping” because it raised questions as to why U.S. intelligence had not previously picked up on the facility, which had likely been there for months if not years.
A senior U.S. official said the Israelis planned to strike during the week of July 14 and in secret high-level meetings American officials argued over how
to respond to the intelligence. Some in the administration supported the Israeli action, but others, notably Secretary of State Rice, did not.

North Korean Mystery – Jim Hoagland
Why is President Bush accepting the promises of a regime he has regularly excoriated – at a time when officials in his administration make a credible case that North Korea has just been caught helping Syria with nuclear technology? Highly classified U.S. intelligence reports say that the Israeli raid in Syria last month destroyed a nuclear-related facility and caused North Korean casualties at the site, which may have been intended to produce plutonium, according to a senior official with access to those reports.
The Israelis have provided the U.S. with pho tographs, physical material and soil samples from the site – taken both before and after the raid – according
to two independent sources. (Washington Post)
