SYRIA’S COVERT NUCLEAR REACTOR AT AL KIBAR Details on how Syria managed to conceal the secret nuclear reactor plant until......

Details on how Syria managed to conceal the secret nuclear plant it was building and which was almost if not fully completed with North Korean help; and how close to producing plutonium it was before it was destroyed by an Israeli air strike last autumn. In fact, the secret Syrian Nuclear Reactor Plant was within weeks or months of completion when Israel bombed it on Thursday 6th September 2007, and demanded that North Korea and Syria publicly acknowledge their collusion on a facility that could and would have produced plutonium for nuclear weapons. All governments concerned - even the regime in Damascus - have tried to maintain complete secrecy over the raid.

Friday, 25th April 2008, Mohamed El-Baradei, the director-general of the IAEA: International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN Nuclear Watch-Dog Agency, called the accusations against Syria serious,  denied the allegations, and said the IAEA would investigate the veracity of the information and the justification for them; only seven months after it had been blown apart. He also said the USA should not have waited so long before disclosing what it suspected about North Korea's assistance to Syria. Doesn’t this make you wonder? BY GOD! I thought it was the Cotton-Picking and Mother-Fucking IAEA that was supposed to detect and expose or know these things and inform the USA, the UN, the IC, the UNSC, and the Arab League!

El-Baradei also reiterated his criticism of Israel for its unilateral use of force in the 6/11 bombing raid that destroyed the nuclear reactor Syria was allegedly building with North Korea's help, saying it prevented the agency from verifying whether undeclared nuclear activity had been taking place at the time. BY GOD AGAIN!

Let me remind all of you out there that Syria had a nuclear plant or facility going – begun in 2003 or (much) earlier – and which was (almost) fully completed and probably operational, AND! No one knew about it, including the stupid useless, hopeless, meaningless but highly costly UN, the IC, the Arab League, and especially the IAEA, which can be blind, deaf, gullible, idiotic, moronic, naïve, and obtuse when it has to, and when the price is right – I do not believe for one moment that they did not know about it! They knew, but they were paid and told to look the other way with both eyes by Iran! – Until the Israeli Air-force bombed it last September!

AND! Would you believe that neither The UN, nor the IC, nor the UNSC, nor the Arab League, nor even The IAEA even bothered to send in a team to check out and investigate the remains?

They waited until Syria had cleared up and cleaned up the area and removed any and all traces of anything – I wouldn’t be surprised if THEY actually advised her to do it – and they thought and believed that only God and Syria and Israel knew the truth. They couldn’t be more wrong, because not all of us are adamant asinine asses, banal baboons, blind bats, clown comedians, craven cowards, deaf and dumb ducks, fumbling feckless fools, gullible gulls, inane idiots, jerky jackasses, limping lizards, lame lemmings, moron monkeys, naïve nincompoops, or obtuse ostriches with bird flu in the brain!

Syria’s haste to bury the site under tons of soil after the attack clearly suggested that hundreds of square yards had been contaminated and there were fears of radiation. Since then the Syrians have levelled the site, sealed up the location, and diverted curious journalists, inquisitors and/or visitors to another place.

Plutonium is a highly dangerous silvery radio-active metallic element. It is quickly and easily oxidized in the air unless extremely protective measures are taken. The oxide is easily dispersed as dust in the air when lathing plutonium to create ‘the pit’ (the hollow sphere in nuclear weapons) and can be inhaled, causing death even in minute quantities. Plutonium pellets are handled and lathed exclusively in a large array of glove boxes to protect the technicians and their environment. That is why large containment buildings are required. No one can assemble a nuclear weapon in one’s garage, unless one is suicidal.

The debris from a destructive raid on a weapons-building facility could therefore contain toxic radioactive waste. But the main danger for Syria would be the telltale exposure of the elements to surveillance and detection by the IC. That would explain the cover-up at the site.

It was just after midnight when Israeli F151s crossed the Syrian coast-line. On the ground, Syria’s formidable Air Defence Systems went dead. The audacious raid on the Syrian target 50 miles from the Iraqi border was under way. At a rendezvous point on the ground, an Air Force Commando Team was waiting to direct their laser beams at the target for the approaching jets. The team had arrived a day earlier, taking up positions near a large underground depot. Soon the bunkers were in flames.

Ten days after the F51s had completed their mission and returned home, the focus was on intense speculation amid claims that Israel had destroyed a cache of nuclear materials in Syria supplied by North Korea. But why would nuclear material be in Syria; known to have chemical weapons? Was Syria seeking to bolster its arsenal with something even more deadly? Could it have been hiding equipment for North Korea, enabling Kim Jong-il to pretend to be giving up his nuclear programme in exchange for economic aid? Or was the material bound for Iran, as some suggest?

Early in the summer, the Israeli Defence Minister had given the orders to double Israeli forces on its Golan Heights border with Syria in anticipation of possible retaliation by Syria after the air strikes. Syrian Special Forces actually moved towards the Israeli outpost of Mount Hermon on the Golan Heights and tensions rose high, but nobody knew why, at the time.
