Just how would Al-j know what was on those aircraft? I think that they are putting out anti-USA propaganda. if any had been used even on small scale would have put fallout right over Israel. why would they even load for that? doesn't make sense and Israel wouldn't support it.

Let me get this straight Trader. You seem to think US planes carried out the attack and were carrying tactical nukes but didn't use them and used conventional bomb loads to destroy the Syrian target. At the same time Israeli jets, are just up above Syria as a distraction? Convulted to say the least as the Israeli jets were more than capable of doing the task.

If they used a tactical nuke the photo evidence afterwards does not indicate it. Those photos should be the nail in the coffin of your claims.

What is your rationale for having US jets do the job when Israel is/was more than willing to do it themselves. Just doesn't make much sense.

Also there is a big difference between tactical nukes and strategic ones, get your terminology straight.

USAF using a nuclear weapon? BS. If nuclear weapons were used, many countries would have detected it and start whining like toddlers.

I'm glad that site was destroyed. Israel did the world a HUGE favor when they did the same to Iraq. Good for whoever did it to Syria. Remember:

The worse thing to do against evil is Nothing.

I forgot, was it you I was having the discussion with in another thread regarding the "after" pictures as compared to the "waaaay after" pictures?

Can you point me in the direction of those "after" pictures?

The most amusing aspect of this...

It's not that the raid was carried out by U.S. aircraft carrying tactical nuclear weapons, nor that nuclear weapons were used to eradicate the suspected reactor site. It's not that Israel was relegated to a diversionary role in the strike, and had no issue with nuclear weapons being used so close to their border. It's not that Syria would suffer a covert nuclear strike withing their borders and not even utter a peep. It's not that the surrounding countries would also remain completely silent about a nuclear strike and the subsequent fallout from such a strike. It's not that the China, Russia, France and the U.K. who have the ability to detect such an event have made no mention of it...

No, the most amusing thing is that Al-Jezeera has presented this to "story" to it's target audience as "news."

But, some on here were reflecting upon the days of old when nuclear weapons wiped out entire cities. No longer is that a must on the modern battlefield.

They still create identifiable emissions.

Especially in a ground burst. You could limit it somewhat in an airburst with the right weapon. But ground contact makes for isotope production.

Al Jazeera's English website is not reporting this, at least based on my searches of the site. Can anyone else find it?

No plane would take off on an offensive strike carrying a nuclear payload unless they plan to use it.
