Iraqi WMDs revisited

I'll weigh in with a question. Let's assume that everything that Avon Lady says is true. If Iraqi chemical and biological agents and missle systems were smuggled into Syria and the Israeli government knows they are there and what locations they are stored in, why doesn't Israel use it's nuclear weapons to destroy these stockpiles? You remember, the ones they didn't develop at Dimona in the late '70s-early '80s. After all, they would present a far more significant and immediate threat to Israel than to the US. Even if they weren't totally destroyed in a strike, the resultant residual radioactivity in the areas would keep the Syrians away. If not, a repeat strike could be used in the event an attempted removal was tried.

Regarding North Korea, There are two reasons the US will do nothing. The first reason is that they have no oil. The second reason is because that would offend the Republican party's Chinese masters. If they did that, who would finance Mr. Bush's spiraling deficits?
