HAUNTING ISLAM – CAN ISRAEL DO IT AGAIN

The deadly accuracy of the Israeli attack aircraft is clearly outlined by the undisturbed features of the structures around the area of building destruction in the center of the detailed satellite photographs taken on October 24th after the Air Strike on September 6th, when compared to the photograph taken before the strike on August 10th.
As I pointed out on the first Blogs we issued on this in September, the important thing about this Israeli Operation was three-fold, (1) They zoomed by the super high tech sophisticated Russian radar detection-destruction systems, (2) hit their target with deadly accuracy, and (3) then got out without loss of men or equipment.
This has caused the Syrians, Iranians, and Russians great emotional consternation, and will continue to affect their international policies and actions for some time. No matter how much they improve their existing defenses, there will always be the lingering question – can they do the same thing to this one that they did on September 6th

Albright said Syria may have acted so swiftly because the Israeli attack blew a hole in the roof, which would have exposed the building’s contents to spy aircraft and satellites.
Had the building not been razed, inspectors would have been able to tell from its c onstructi
on whether it was meant to house a North Korean-style nuclear reactor, Albright said.
He said that the structure got a roof so early in its construction also suggests that it was a reactor.
”That’s another bit of support that it was a reactor being built with North Korean help,” he said. ”From what we understand, North Korea builds reactors in an old-fashioned way; the roof goes on early.” More modern reactors leave the roof until last to allow large cranes to lift heavy equipment into place, he said.
The building was under construction for at least a year, based on analysis of earlier commercial images put together by SPOT Image, another commercial imagery company, Albright said.
DigitalGlobe’s satellites captured four images of the site on four recent days – Aug 10th, 15th, 28th and Oct 24th.
Company spokesman Chuck Herring would not say whether DigitalGlobe captured those images speculatively or at the request of a customer.
Syria, a member of the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, denies it was building a
nuclear reactor. It has a single small nuclear research reactor that operates under international safeguards.
The alleged new reactor would have operated outside those controls.

Operation Iraqi Freedom began on March 20, 2003, when a largely American force supported by small contingents from Great Britain, Australia, Denmark and Poland invaded Iraq. The invasion soon led to the defeat and flight of Saddam Hussein. The U.S.-led coalition occupied Iraq and attempted to establish a new democratic government; however it failed to restore order in Iraq.
The unrest led to asymmetric warfare with the Iraqi insurgency, civil war between many Sunni and Shia Iraqis and al-Qaeda operations in Iraq.[
I issued numerous blogs outlining why I believed whatever the WMD arsenal possessed by Saddam Hussein amounted to, had been smuggled and flown across the Syrian border when the attack began, and then stored in Northern Syrian. The presence and activities of North Korean Military personnel and civilian scientists in northern Syria were well document from 2001 onwards.

‘Reactor may have been built in 2001’

The alleged Syrian nuclear facility that was destroyed by the IAF on September 6 was photographed
by an American company as early as 2003, The New York Times reported on Saturday.
The paper quoted a senior US intelligence official as saying that American analysts examined the site several years ago, and had been uncertain as to whether it was in fact a nuclear facility.
Independent analysts who have looked over the satellite image said the structure’s construction may have begun as early as 2001 – a theory with which the intelligence official said he agreed.
John E. Pike, who directs a private group that analyzes satellite images, GlobalSecurity.org, said it was “uncommon to see such activity in the middle of nowhere,” adding that American spy satellites and analysts had watched the site for years.
North Korea’s alleged involvement in the project could have started shortly before
the new millennium, the Times report said.
The fact that the infrastructure had been built at least four years ago did not mean the facility had always been used for the same purposes as it was being used for immediately before the Israeli strike, former OC Air Force Maj.-Gen. (res.) Eitan Ben Eliyahu told Channel 10 on Saturday evening.
