'USAF struck Syrian nuclear site'

Are you implying that the installation was a functioning reactor that melted down after the the bombing?

Based on your delusional way of thinking, I doubt you were ever a trader on Wall Street.

"Immediate retaliation from Iran and the rest of the countries over there.". First off, why would Iran retaliate? Second, who exactly are "the rest of the countries"? Third, why wouldn't it be expected from the US? They just militarily took over a country in the region.

And fourth, why in the hell do I even argue with people like this?

Peace

Trader, I suggest you take a few deep breaths and chill out.

It makes more sense for the U.S. to do the fighting. Syria wouldn't mind scrapping with Israel, but when hit from the U.S. they'd probably just lick their wounds and whimper like a puppy that just met the neighborhood F-14 tomcat.*

I am sorry, did I say something offensive? Please let me know so I don;t do it again. I am not trying to instigate, just trying to speak logicly.

He does have a point... To an extent! If there were enemy or unidentified marks flying across a regional "no fly zone," that would have immediately garnered attention from the likes of Syrian, Turkey, maybe even Jordan. I didn't hear of Syria violating any IAEA orders recently. Maybe it was a move to become a target instead of eliminating one.

trader,
Can you tell us what strategic nuclear missiles can be carried on tactical aircraft? That might help to clear some things up.



You got that right.

Sounds like the B-52 carrying nukes by mistake tactic has had an effect. Now the Middle East is fitting that story line type material into theirs. Not sure this is a good thing if true.

Nope, just trying to figure out how trader came up with his one bomb theory.

A functioning reactor would also have given off radiation if it was attacked.

No radiation = no nukes or working nuclear reactor

Ain't seismology stations supposed to be pretty good at pinpointing large explosions at great distance? (when data from several stations is combined)

Surely any data captured could give tell tail fingerprints of either conventional or tactical nuke.

Mind you who runs the stations? I know the USGS has loads - but maybe some of those just have an agreement to share the data.

Any who - jus thinking out loud

Iran has made it clear they enough fire power to defend themselves or brotherhood nations, of which Syria would be one. They have stated they have the capacity to fire 11,000 missles in the first hour of an attack, and continue so for some time. Iran would undoubtedly come to the defense of Syria. Such an attack would be expected from Israel as they have done such things in the past. The US did not militarily over take a country. We freed the Iraqi people. They have since established their own Government. We have not installed a government, nor have we taken any land and claimed it our own.

This is not a thread for arguement. I would like to debate with you, not argue.

We can do without:

It has been my signature for some time now. I never at any time called anyone stupid.

Its a play on the Forrest Gump line -

Stupid is as Stupid does.

I did not want any cpoyright infringement questions, so I changed it.

I started looking for those stations as soon as the bombing was reported, before any reports of nukes.

Unfortunatly no data/graphs located yet. Besides that, I'm not smart enough to know what those little squiggles mean anyway. LOL

Maybe you can find some for us?

Cool Hand: I will have my husband respond with the correct answer. He is a weapons loader in the USAF He knows this stuff!

It may be tonight though...he is working w/ F22s today -so may not get in front of the computer until he gets home

Thanks for doing the research and finding that. I didnt believe this "report" for a second. In fact, it wouldnt surprise me if they blew it up themself....if anything really did get blown up

I have not waded through the replies but......

If the US used tactical nuclear weapons, why were there no reports of release based on seismology data? Even far off stations would have detected the ground shake from those. An airburst nuclear weapon woul dhave had that double flash signature that could be seen for miles plus where is all of the fallout? That would have hit Isreal, Iraq, Jordan etc.

Might have a bash - no idea why the squiggles would mean any more to me than any other layman tho

As I'm a bit lazy I would very much appreciate the accepted time / date / location of said nuking. So far I got Syria on the 6th sept. where in syria I do not know - time of day would be the most important nugget.
