Israeli Raid; Syrian/North Korean Ties

Well, it seems our friends in Israel have taken steps that only they seem willing, and able, to perform. On an evening of September 5th-7th(reports on the specific date, like much else with this story, have been sketchy-though dawn on Sept 6th seems most likely), under strict secrecy, Israel attacked a Syrian target of clearly high import. What the target was has only been speculated at, though ties to shipments from North Korea have been made, leading many to believe the target had a nuclear weapons purpose.

The Israelis should be congratulated on having the strength to perform a daring move such as this, but perhaps the most satisfying part of the whole event has been the silence from Syria and her terror allies(othr than mild protests from Syria and North Korea). With the press being given hardly any solid information, and the apparent shock of our enemies, we have not seen the typical anti-Israel pronouncements from the usual suspects.

We should all be concerned about nuclear ties between North Korea and Syria/Iran, and should be grateful we have an ally in the Middle East willing to act decisively against these terror monsters.
