Syrian's slip up!
Syrian Official Says Israeli Airstrike Hit Nuke Facility

DAMASCUS, Syria -
A high-ranking Syrian official confirmed that Israel's airstrike last month in northern Syria hit a nuclear facility, according to a document obtained Wednesday by FOX News.
"Israel was the fourth-largest exporter of weapons of mass destruction and a violator of other nations' airspace, and it had taken action against nuclear facilities, including the 6 July attack in Syria," Syrian representative Bassam Darwish is quoted in the document as saying.
Diplomats familiar with the document cannot explain why July 6 was invoked, instead of Sept. 6, the date both countries say an incident occurred. A State Department source tells FOX News the best explanation is that Darwish misspoke.
The document, released by the General Assembly's Department of Public Information, recounted Tuesday's proceedings at the annual gathering of the U.N.'s Disarmament and International Security Committee.
What is clear is that this is the first time Syria has acknowledged its nuclear efforts.
One U.S. delegate told colleagues he could not believe his ears when the Syrian diplomat made his statement and that the resulting document was close to verbatim, and another source told FOX News the document reinforces what people heard [the Syrian representative] say in the actual debate.
Syria already has disowned the remarks, adding "such facilities do not exist in Syria."
The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency, SANA, quoting an unnamed Foreign Ministry source, said the U.N. press release misquoted the diplomat and that Syria had made it clear that there are no such facilities in Syria.
Syrian President Bashar Assad said earlier this month that the target is an "unused military building."

BD,
You do realize that the nuking of New York would probably kill more Jewish people than the nuking of Tel Aviv would... It would certainly kill more Americans.0 -
hmmm....you raise some interesting points. however, i am willing to take that risk. first of all, the "jews" who live in new york are mostly secular jews whose true religion is liberalism. second of all, new york city and san francisco are cess pools of liberals who make this country more dangerous and suck our tax dollars and steal our guns. if both those cities were gone america would be such a better place. 0 -

Barking Dog, have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, it might be better, sometimes, to keep it to yourself? Do you realize that you advocated the destruction of two major metropolitan centers, along with millions of people, on U.S. soil? I am amazed that you didn't elicit some really nasty responses. Maybe that's what you were after? If so, then maybe ANOTHER lockout is in order.
BTW, I have emailed you twice and asked you to contact me off the boards, so that we can discuss your multiple personalities, and you have not.0 -
BarkingDog...are you freaking nuts? You don't mind if millions of Americans get killed? You wouldn't mind if a foreign country dropped a nuclear warhead on American soil? That's about the stupidest thing I have EVER heard anyone say! Using your line of thought, we should have applauded when the arabs flew into the WTC. "Just getting rid of some liberals!" 0 -
Too bad they didn't do it while Nancy Pelosi was there in Syria, visiting her friends.[}:)] 0 -

The better COA is the depredation of well wishers like you [:(!].0 -
Thank you Nunn, for a moment I thought I was seeing things, those Jews as were depicted are US citizens and have all the rights BD does, they just have more common sence.

Don't be so hard on the El-Wa, besides... Jewdom is an illegal pyramid scheme ...since... Archelaus suceeded his Father Herod The Great, as the King of the Jews ... Matthew 2-220 -
It appears the BD is simply an adolescent troll, best ignored by adults. [:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!]
