David Albright, president of Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) and a former U.N. weapons inspector, said the absence of such evidence warrants skepticism that the reactor was part of an active weapons program.

Quote:
"The United States and Israel have not identified any Syrian plutonium separation facilities or nuclear weaponization facilities," he said. "The lack of any such facilities gives little confidence that the reactor is part of an active nuclear weapons program. The apparent lack of fuel, either imported or indigenously produced, also is curious and lowers confidence that Syria has a nuclear weapons program."
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... It must be a nuclear weapons facility...

Oh yeah... THAT makes it credible...

It might even have been a news story across the globe if it hadn't been for the curious incident of the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq...

...even if its true, US credibility in this area is shot!

Exactly, why else would they build a reactor in the middle of desert in secret. The scientists could be angry they didnt get to go and do an inspection. The other facilities could be anywhere in Syria. This could also be disinformation toward the Syrians.

A. Because they can.
B. To keep the Americans from declaring another "WMD Event" and thereby launching YAW (Yet Another War) against a "terrorist state".
C. Give the Israeli Intelligence and Military something to do besides wipe out Palestinians...
D. Insert favorite "terrorists with nukes" fear here.

Right now, it appeared to be a.... building.

Do you know FOR SURE what it was? Outside of what the government and media tell you, you don't know anymore than anyone else.

Are you? Just because the Israeli's or the US "says" it was "not intended for peaceful use" doesn't mean it's true. Where are the rest of the processing facilities?

Quote:
A covert nuclear reactor destroyed last year in Syria would have been capable of producing plutonium and probably was "not intended for peaceful purposes," the White House said Thursday.
The operative word here is "probably", same word that got us involved in Iraq "probable WMDs"... There is NO hard evidence AT ALL to prove that this facility was intended to produce plutonium. NONE. NADA. ZIP.

Quote:
But senior intelligence officials later said they had only low confidence that the facility was meant to build nuclear weapons.
'nuff said...

Funny thing, when the first rumors of the bombing came last year, only the region where the bombing happened was told. So i took a look in google Google Earth, i found the reactor in 30min and put an needle in it. Its THAT obvious. I now that truth wont penetrate your tinfoil hat, so i wont make a real effort.
