'USAF struck Syrian nuclear site', page 4

First off, I never at any time said the US used nuclear weapons, tactical or anything. I argued that point earlier as someone else went off on that topic. I did agree that they could have included them in the payload they carried, as the article explains. The article does not even say they used nuclear weapons, just that they were carried by the fighters. 1 nuclear weapon per plane. The article claims 1 bomb was dropped, and did not indiciate that it was nuclear.

I did not suggest that Israeli planes were flying around while we bombed anything. I am suggesting it was a joint strike squadren. There is no indication, according to the article, what plane or which country fired the shot. What I was suggesting was that we were either there to over see the attack and make sure Israel was bombing a legitimate target, or we were there to make the bombing run. If we made the bombing run, we used the Israeli planes as cover, as it would not be surprised for them to be that far into Syria, as they are known to make such flights for survailance.

I am sorry if all the rhetoric confused you. Anything else you would like me to clear up???

Finally, thank you Mirthful.

The real underlying reason I ran with this thread is that when Al-Jazeera posts similar articles about Iraqi casualties by the US being innocent women and children, people go out of their way to critisize the US based on the reported news of A-J.

However, I do not feel it to be funny, but sad that people accept the truth when it fits their ajenda, but rail against it when its something like this. If everyone ignored A-J, your right, no reason for me to post this thread.

Hope your football pick thing is going well, I would like to participate next year.

Please see my response to Mirthful, as that explains the whole reason I ran with the post.

Thanks

a nuke is still a nuke wether multi mega ton city blaster or a 1 ton bridge killer - there is still alot of radiation and fallout.

But who's going to report the readings? I doubt that Israel or the US is going to do another "deep penetration" to get readings from the site.

I highly doubt Syria would report any such evidence (cite the apparent reluctance to acknowledge any strike at all) for fear of incriminating themselves.

Even if tactical nukes were used, Syria knows that to admit the strike, and raise the nuclear issue, is to admit criminal intent and risk bring put on the list of "Axis" terrorist forces.

Someone else had a good link as well.

If a tactical nuke was used there were be photgraphic evidence as well as seismo evidence.

I don't agree with any fallout being released by a nuclear weapon, but "a lot" is a vague statement and subject to opinion. Apparently it was no Chernobyl or we would have an international uproar. More than likely, this was an isolated facility and the stirke only involved the workers and employees at such a facility. These were more than likely killed in the initial blast and I'd say only an handful, if any, suffered from radiation sickness or fallout symptoms.

That doesn't make it ok. I'm sure it wrecked havoc on the surroundings and it's environment, which to me, should be considered a criminal act.

I simply argue the point that people doubt there was a tactical nuke used because there was no readings of radiation or fallout. Such tell-tale signs of a tactical nuke could easily be ignore, or covered-up by parties not wishing to bring attention to such an event.

sorry to burst that little bubble

Sorry for the levity in my tone, that link relates to the b-52 blunder. But aircraft often take off carrying nukes, not usually for a planned strike per say - more like we also got that option.

Did the cold war ever end?

I'm not following you. All countries do what is in their own best interests. From the opposite side of the fence I am sure it looks ......well opposite.

Obviously, it looks like Israel took this even nascent attempt at building a nuclear facility as a theat and in it's best interest to remove it.

any surface detonation would have been felt at monitoring stations around the world - nuclear weapons give off a large amount of heat energy and ionizing radiation (even the air is radioactive inside teh heat sphere) there is no way an atmospheric detonation would have gone unnoticed or unreported.

downwind even as little as an hour you would be able to track the fallout - and we are talking a few million tons on earth displaced into the atmosphere and laced with such wonders as stontium-90.

so i call BS to a nuke being used.

have a read - that is how a (fusion or thermonuclear) physics package works , if you stop at the `primary` that is then an `atomic bomb`

The businessman, who asked not to be identified - in an exclusive statement to the island's Net - that the process was the participation of two strategic bombers vehicle sticking small tactical nuclear bombs, aircraft squadron They were accompanied by Israeli F-15, F-16, took responsibility for control and protection

A businessman. Sure...now we know where they got their source from.

Makes me wonder, if by ANY chance, this was a Russian business man, that, perhaps, sells defense radars? thing that make you go Hmmmmm

I would imagine the residue isotopes would be different, allowing someone to tell what occured was either a nuclear detonation or just fallout from a reactor.
